The objective of the project is to help the couple plan for an elegant wedding including preparing the budget, vision and theme determination, creation of checklists and timelines, selection, negotiation with, and booking of vendors, design of invitation and other stationery items, compiling of guest lists, mailing invitation and tracking, ceremony and reception preparation, direction and completion of necessary contracts, forms, and tests, on-site direction of rehearsal, ceremony and reception, and final payment and wrap-up with vendors.
