New Creations is committed to provide a comfortable, informative, stress-free wedding planning process. Here are some of the answers to our most frequently asked questions to put your nerves at ease.

Q: Why do I need a wedding planner?

A: Even though engagement is exciting and you look forward to your beautiful wedding day, it is hard to know where to turn to find vendors who fit into your budget, how to stylize your event to represent you and your fiancés personalities, and even where to start. Brides-to-be can quickly become overwhelmed with the to do list: call the vendors; organize your colors; choose you wedding party and inform them of their responsibilities; attend showers; register at your favorite stores; decide where to live; pack up and move…. During all this preparation for your upcoming marriage, you are trying to keep you parents and future in-laws happy AND prepare yourself for your wedding!

After all the planning your wedding day arrives. You expect to be able to arrive, look beautiful, and marry the love of your life. Then come the questions from your vendors: Where do we park? Where should we set up? Who has the rings? Who has the liquor license? What? We forgot it?! And the last-minute details: Someone needs to arrange the favors on the tables just the way you imagined, help the men with their boutonnieres, and make sure your hair, veil, and train are perfect before you walk down the aisle and see your husband-to-be. Planning a wedding stirs up a tornado of emotions and raises hundreds of logistics to navigate.

New Creations is the calm in the middle of that storm. We work hand in hand with you, your vendors and the venue to make sure everyone is working in synchrony to create a wedding where your friends, family, and most importantly you and your fiancé, can enjoy. You invest so much time, money and emotion into creating a wedding designed to be a representation of who you are as a couple. Our goal is for you to look back on this day with fondness and peace in your heart, knowing it was perfect beginning to your new life together as husband and wife.

Q: What do you base your pricing on?

A: At New Creations we believe that hiring a wedding planner will always pay for themselves. Along with saving you hundreds of hours of planning time, we also offer our expertise, providing a wide network of fellow wedding professionals with whom we work closely. You can be sure the vendors we recommend are reliable, within your budget, and represent your vision for your wedding.

New Creations DOES NOT and WILL NEVER base pricing off of the percentage of your total wedding cost. We want to be sure that you know that we never refer vendors based off of their cost to drive our percentage up. Our fee is based on a customized proposal that we create for you, taking into consideration the number of guests, location, style/décor wishes and specific additional needs of New Creations (i.e., delivering off welcome baskets to hotels for your guests, planning the rehearsal dinner, etc).

New Creations will allow you to contract with any vendor. Once you make the decision to work with us, we provide you with access to our list of preferred vendors. These are vendors that we have worked with in the past and often offer discounts due to working with a wedding professional. However, if you have an aunt who is a baker and would love to provide your wedding cake, by all means, we would love to showcase her skills and honor her gift to you.

Q: How long are you at my event?

A: New Creations begins their day when the bride is completing her hair and makeup services. We remain with you until the end of the formal reception, generally during open dancing. If you wish for us to stay until the event is completely over, we absolutely will. There is no limitation on our time.

Q: How many assistants work with you on the day of my wedding?

A: New Creations always has at least one assistant on the day of the wedding regardless of the size of the wedding. This ensures that we are easily accessible to you and your guests to answer questions, have a timely set up, run last minute errands, etc while at least one of us remains on the property. The general rule of thumb is <150 guests, myself and one assistant, 150-200 guests, myself and two assistants, and so on. Assistants are always reliable, represent the company with integrity and are always pre-screened by Rebecca. We do not charge extra for assistants.

Q: Do you provide an emergency kit?

A: Absolutely! Some of the items that are included are scissors, tape, extension cord, hot glue gun, stapler, sewing kit, double stick tape, Advil, mints, chocolate, garter belt, and black socks. We bring it to every wedding, and always keep it fully stocked. The emergency kit is available to you, your wedding party, and your guests.

Q: Do you plan other events besides weddings?

A: At this time, New Creations’ focus and heart is reserved strictly for weddings. However, if a client is contracted with New Creations and wishes for us to plan their engagement party, a bridal tea, rehearsal dinner, after party, etc., we will be more than happy to provide that service.

We do not provide event services such as golf tournaments, auctions, baby showers, etc.

We look forward to answering more of your questions as the wedding planning process gets underway. We will do everything in our power to walk you through this process so that you can relax and enjoy planning your wedding! Please call or email us today for your complimentary consultation.
