Wedding Wire review from a very happy Bride!

Sharon made our wedding an absolute dream.  She is organized, brilliant, creative and maintains a calm demeanor when total disaster strikes. As a television producer for over 20 years I didn’t even think I needed a wedding planner.  BELIEVE ME…you do!  She attended to ever detail and had suggestions for making our day the magical experience every bride dreams of.  Her talents and knowledge really took the experience to the next level.  There is soooooo much happening that day and it seems Sharon was everywhere…attending to all the moving parts coming together in fast motion.  When a problem popped up…she handled it.  When it was time to  take that first step down the isle it was sharon who cued me to insure that the music and the effects all played out exactly as we had planned.

Sharon is quite simply THE BEST as what she does.  She is the consummate professional and she loves her job.  I interviewed many people before I hired Sharon and consider myself fortunate that she was able to fit me into her very busy calendar.  Honestly she was worth ten times what she charged…but you don’t realize how valuable your wedding planner is until you are in the flurry of the process.  I suggest you talk to Sharon after you’ve talked to everyone else and then make your decision.  You won’t find a more competent person. You’ll spend lots of money on your wedding and I can assure you that the most important piece of the puzzle is the person who makes it all happen when you are busy enjoying the experience.  I will remember my wedding day as the most wonderful experience of my life…and Sharon made it all happen.

Thank you to ADW from the Mother of the Bride

As mother of the bride there was no way I could keep track of everything on my daughter’s special day.

Sharon made that possible.  She made sure that everything was done in a timely manner and it was done to my specifications.

“Dont worry I’ll take care of it”.  That’s what Sharon promised and that’s what she did.  Cant ask for better than that.

She has great ideas, organized and she gets things done.  I recommend her highly.

She is truly a “Mother of the Bride’s” best friend.

Did you visit ADW at the Wedding Wise Bridal Show at Culy Warehouse?

Yesterday was a exciting time at the Wedding Wise Bridal Show at the Culy Warehouse. Irene Gonzales from A Perfect Table and I designed a beautiful table and Bridal Suite vignette that impressed all the guests at the show.
We had help from San Diego Events Lighting (who installed market lighting and hot pink uplights throughout the show) and Classic Creations who designed the perfect floral pallet to compliment the luxurious linens that Irene wanted to showcase.
Jenn Ragusa from Pink Star Design worked with me to create a dream wedding for “Jessica Sweet and Michael Hart”. All the details of a real wedding were designed from the Save The Date announcement to the custom Invitation. Menu Cards, Favor Tags, Signature Drink Sign and a beautiful Bridal Suite Banner. I had a full client binder showing all the details from start to finish, including a few vendors who were participating in the show. The story was a sweet success!

Thank you to Maryanne McGuire Photography for stopping by to capture all the beautiful details for us.

Become an amazing Wedding Planner and ‘Dream Big!”

Sharon,

  I just wanted to write you and say thank you so very much for having me Saturday. The Dream Big Course was amazing I learned so much. Going into this course I had no idea how much I would get out of it and I was blown away by the end. I learned more from your three hour course than I did in all my event classes in college. I was very impressed with all of the information you gave me on the business side of it; Laws, tax information, Employer Responsibilities, Finance information. I also took a lot from the section on contracts. I am so thankful that you shared with me all your tips from past issues that you have had. That way I will be able to avoid making those same mistakes, and I am sure have many chances to make my own. HeHe. I will definitely be looking into a management program for my computer.

 Also, thank you so much for the amazing idea for my company name I will be looking into it and hopefully getting it trademarked soon.

 I just wanted you to know that you truly inspire me to reach out and go for my dreams. You are an amazing person and I just wanted to thank you for sharing all your knowledge with me!
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Brandy Clayton
