What You NEED to know! Why Hire A Wedding and Event Planning Specialist?

Planning a wedding can be difficult to do, to say the least. Most couples and their families underestimate the process and the costs, which will create a stressful situation that is hard to navigate through. Current estimations show that it takes on the average of 274 HOURS to design and plan a wedding, and and for the Concord, NC area, the average wedding costs between $16,828 and 28,047 not including the engagement ring or the honeymoon! There will be few, if any, events over the course of one's life in which a person (or couple/family) will spend that amount of money on one specific event.

Creative Designs by Julie can help you spend that significant amount of your hard earned cash in the most efficient way, yet providing you with a unique and memorial wedding you and your guests will never forget. We can design and coordinate your entire wedding from engagement to honeymoon, or just assist with the details, rehearsal or the Big Day. It's up to you! And no matter which package we design for you, we promise that your wedding will be as important is if it were our own. We never book more than one wedding per weekend, so you can count on the design team of Creative Designs by Julie to be there for you, just exactly as you envisioned.

• Remember: we work for YOU. We work well with our vendors, but ultimately, we are YOUR ADVOCATE-and we will always make sure you get exactly what you envisioned, and what you paid for. No matter what.
• We have worked with your wedding vendors in the past, and will continue to work with them in the future. We are their repeat customers, and as a result, couples who use wedding planners will get far better results in service and costs than if they were to contract them on their own. Vendors know that working with couples alone are essentially, a one time customer, and therefore, do not feel that it is necessary to do "their best" because they won't likely be working with that couple again in the future.
• Being a wedding professional, we KNOW who the "good" and the "bad" vendors are, and will never steer you in the direction or recommend a vendor that isn't the best choice for our couple. In addition to our own experience with working with the vendors, we also get recommendations as well as information on who is the best vendors to work with, and which vendors that we should avoid.
• We know wedding planning. We are professionals not just with the experience you need so you don't have to learn how to "do it yourself", but we are certified professionals that can guide you in the right direction in the choices you make, and can get you the highest quality service and products for your money. As a result, hiring a professional wedding planner will pay for itself with the money we can save you with the discounts we've earned in the industry.
• With our creativity and diversity, we'll inspire you with the ideas you have that will make your wedding day beyond your wildest dreams!
• Most of all, having a professional wedding planner is a gift to yourself and to your loved ones. We will make sure that every situation is handled, and you and your family can truly enjoy your most special day ever without the stress that comes with doing it yourself!
