Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a wedding coordinator?
Nope. I simply help my clients with that initial aspect of planning: finding a wedding location. I’ve dabbled in the wedding coordination side of things, but it’s just not my cup of tea. However, I have plenty of referrals for wonderful local wedding coordinators (among plenty of other wedding vendors) and strongly recommend at the very least hiring a coordinator for the day of the wedding.

So what are you?
A wedding location consultant would probably be the best title. Similar to a realtor providing guidance in finding a house, I guide couples in finding a wedding location, saving them a lot of time and money in the process. First, I pull a variety of locations that match what you tell me you are seeking and requiring from your perfect wedding location. Next, we pick a time and place to get together where I give you a summary of each location, you let me know which you would like to go see, and then we go see them. Throughout the day, I can offer you plenty of valuable advice and ideas for each venue and for your event in general.

How do you know so much about San Diego?
I’m always exploring. And if I don’t have anyone to join me, I have no problem going alone. I always want to know about the new hot spots, but even better, the undiscovered gems. When I first moved to San Diego and knew very few people, I would spend my time exploring new beaches, hiking different trails, and even shopping at an out of the way Target if it meant that I got to experience a new San Diego neighborhood.

Do you help with finding ceremony sites, too? And rehearsal dinner locations?
Of course! I know plenty of churches and outdoor locations that make great ceremony sites and the many venues that work well for intimate weddings would also make great rehearsal dinner locations. My specialty is weddings, but I would be happy to help anyone that is looking for the perfect location for their special event.

How many hours do you spend on the day of the tour?
You have me for the day and I’ve chosen to not set a specific amount of time. Instead, my goal is to make sure you feel satisfied and ready to move forward with booking a location and setting that date. That might mean a brief two hours or a long, full day. I would really leave that up to you. 

Do you offer your services for other destinations besides San Diego?
Considering that two of my favorite pastimes are researching destinations and traveling, absolutely! I take pride in my super-sleuth Internet skills and whenever traveling to a new destination, I always manage to discover the best, little-known spots. From Mexico to Bali to the Caribbean to Thailand and more, I’ve had my share of extensive travel to some locations that would make for an incredible destination wedding.
