****TIP****
Don't know which vendors to work with? Not sure you will be able to see past the booths and promotional displays to see in fact who will provide you with the best quality for the best price? If you hired me you would not need to go to the expos. As we all know and have learned, referrals are stronger than any advertisement. Save money and the hassle by hiring an Event Planner. I am happy to be your Wedding Planner, Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planner, or Day of Coordinator.
Expos can feel overwhelming with the crowds and inundation of information. Because of the number of vendors at the expos, it may not afford you the time to really get to know all the vendors, their vartiety of products and services, their quality of service, and their pricing options. Just let me know what you have in mind for your wedding and I can recommend the venues and vendors that are right for you. That is just one of the services I provide in my partial planning and full service planning packages. Let me help you by referring the right vendors. It helps to know a return customer (that's me!) that is familiar with the vendors out of the seemingly endless list that is available in the DC area. I can help narrow down that long list to the key vendors who would work best with you and your vision.
Contact me, Cristina of Cristina Maria Special Events, today at info@cristinamariaevents.com or 301-938-8383 for more information about what I can do for you to lessen the hassle and stress of wedding planning, bar/bat mitzvah planning, and day of coordination. I am a professional perfectionist and organizer so I am prepared to take on the burden for you. Enjoy your engagement or at the very least the last month before your special day!
Happy planning!
