The moment a bride announces her engagement most of the bride’s family and friends want to plan the wedding. Our best advice to a bride in this situation is to thank everyone for all of their ideas and let them know that all ideas are great and will be considered for the final decision. At Kris Lavender, we are advocates for the bride and help deal with overreaching family members and often find ourselves providing couples advice with family challenges.

For some weddings, a “day of” coordinator is exactly what is needed which is our Wedding Management Package. Day of coordinators arrive on the day of your wedding to implement your plans. In our experience, this type of package works only when the bride is extremely organized and has an eye for detail and time for planning. At Kris Lavender, our Wedding Management package starts one month before the wedding. We do this to ensure your wedding is properly coordinated with your vendors and establishing a coordinated plan prior to your wedding day.

We accept cash, check or credit card payments. All contracts include specific individual payment plans. A 25% retainer fee is due upon booking with a signed contract. The second installment of 25% is due two months after initial deposit. The remaining balance is due 14 days before your wedding day.

We provide services for corporate events, bridal showers, birthday parties, anniversaries, holiday dinners, baby showers, engagement parties, and more.
