theater has been preserved for generations to enjoy.
This multipurpose theater can accommodate just
about any event imaginable. Weddings are common
at The Liberty Theater…Brides and Grooms can be
seen exchanging their vows on our commercially

Noticing details at many weddings while I was a DJ over the years, it was natural for me to
jump in and help wherever help was needed. The experience continued to grow as I learned

events and so I began the business because I love to help others and see the happiness and
appreciation when I helped them create the perfect event.

than my parents. They raised me to be respectful, kind,
compassionate, courageous and to always do the right thing.
My mom and I are so much alike, I tell her it’s her fault that I

CATERING
Choosing the right caterer ranks among the most important tasks
Follow these tips to make sure you find the balance between valu
One of the most important aspects of planning your special day is finding the
right caterer because the food you serve will be one of the most memorable parts
of the reception for your guests. Caterers can be booked up to a year in advance,
so it is wise to search one out early. A simple timeline for finding the perfect caterer is to start looking for one at least 10 months before the wedding, make sure
you have booked the caterer by 8 months, and decide on a menu by 6 months.
A good caterer does more than one might think. They are well trained in food
selection and preparation, reception staging, serving and clean up. Some go as
far as to decorate for you, hire bartenders, and provide the wedding cake. Others
may only prepare and serve the food and then clean up.
When looking for a caterer, keep the following in mind:
•
•
•
•
Find a caterer with a good reputation whose food you can sample before
signing a contract.
Make appointments and interview many different caterers to find the right
one for you. Some caterers may even give you phone numbers of past customers who were pleased with the caterer’s work.
Many reception sites have their own catering services, so when you’re looking for a hall, decide if it has what you want in both catering and atmosphere.
Check to see what services the caterers will provide other than just the meal
(electricity, lighting, tents, tables, linens, chairs, etc.)
If you feel like you have found the right caterer, wait to sign a contract until the
caterer understands your expectations and you understand the terms of agreement. Keep in mind questions such as: will the cost be a flat rate or a per-person
fee? Are gratuities automatically added? Are you going to have a sit-down dinner
or a buffet? Will drinks be included in the price?
Catering is one of the most expensive parts of the wedding, so when it comes to
cost, it is up to you whether you want to spend any amount or keep costs down.
There are different ways to serve food at your wedding that will vary the price.
Some tips can to keep in mind are:
•
•
•
Most caterers will charge per-person, which means the cost will depend on
the number of guests that you expect to come.
American food will cost much less to serve than an exotic or international dish
such as French, Mediterranean, Thai, or Indian.
Cost will increase if you decide to have the caterer take care of the wine and

ue & quality.

•
•
the wedding cake instead of doing that yourself.
Buffet-style catering will cost less than if waiters
serve your guests, yet it is also elegant.
Most caterers include set up and clean up in perperson cost; if they do not, that will increase cost.
Most caterers have special rates for children, so
be sure to ask about that.
Overtime costs, gratuities or taxes will all affect
the final cost of drinks when planning for a caterer. This can really rack up the price depending
on what you want to serve for beverages:
1. The least expensive option is to not serve
alcohol and instead have a cash bar where
guests can buy their own drinks. If you decide
to do this, inform your guests so they know to
bring their own money.
2. A nicer option, but more expensive, is to serve
only beer and wine. You can buy the beer and
wine yourself or have the caterer provide
them.
3. The most expensive option will be to have an
open bar with free drinks. Your guests will
love this and you won’t have to worry about
providing drinks yourself. Remember to include champagne for the wedding toast.
Because the food and drink at your
wedding will be one of the most
memorable parts for the guests
and for you, be sure you are happy
with your choice of a caterer. Remember these tips to when selecting a caterer, and make sure they
have what you want.

W H AT O T H E R R E F E R R A L S S AY A B O U T M E : People
say I’m very passionate about my clients, each wedding, and
life in general.
W H AT ’ S M Y FAV O R I T E S AY I N G : Anything is possible
if you have faith, and when you believe – You can Achieve and
Succeed! Work Hard, Play Harder and Party Like a Rock Star.
F U N N Y W E D D I N G M O M E N T: Most recent is my wedding rehearsal on Saturday, May 19, 2012. When I asked the
bride and groom to say a few words after The Hawaiian Lei
Exchange, the bride starts laughing and stated that she loved
the groom longer than the telephone pole in a Filipino accent.
It was hilarious because no one else was Filipino except for me
at the rehearsal.
S E N T I M E N TA L W E D D I N G M O M E N T: It is very touching
for me to see the bridal couples’ raw emotion of loving bliss
and tears when they are doing their vows and the first time
they see the ceremony and reception completely decorated
and are in “awe” because it was executed better than they had
envisioned.
S P E C I A L I N S I D E R TA L E N T: Although I am very career
oriented and ambitious, I am a DOMESTICATED GODDESS. I
love every aspect of a harmonious home – I love to cook, bake,
clean house, babysit and care for children. My special talent is
organizing spaces and folding laundry in a professional way.
W H AT K I N D O F FA C E B O O K U S E R A R E YO U : I’m a
moderate Facebook user updating it based on my interests,
experiences, work status, travels and activities. I want to be
20

uplifting and enrich people’s lives versus being negative online.
I also have a Wedding Planner 808 page.
W H Y I B E G A N M Y B U S I N E S S : I began my business in
June 2004 and Celebrating my 8th Years Anniversary this
year. I started my business because I was already doing weddings and events for families and friends as a hobby. I am naturally organized, detail oriented and have mastered time management from an early age. Being the oldest and closest to my
grandparents growing up, I was a natural leader and was appointed the family organizer and coordinator for all our family
events. I have been planning and organizing special occasions
and high school special events; and my own Sweet 16th since
1989 in high school. Seeing all of their happy expressions and
nal production of everything I planned brought a natural high
for me. Coordinating everything became second nature and I
thought that if I could do any business in this world, it would be
something I loved doing. Being a Wedding Planner is a dream
career in the making.
I G E T I N S P I R E D W H E N : I get inspired when meet bridal
couples that have a vision of what they want their wedding day
to turn out. Learning their personality, style and knowing their
budget allows me to get creative using their color schematics
and theme to produce a one of a kind and unique wedding
for each and every client. No two weddings are the same nor
will they ever be duplicated. Inspiration comes from the bridal
couple alone.
M Y G R E AT E S T D E S I R E : My greatest desire is to have an
entourage of wedding planners/coordinators to duplicate my
wedding planning and coordination procedures throughout
the world by expanding to provide future bridal couples the

opportunity to experience our excellent customer service model. We want our weddings to be
an inspiration to future brides seeking our awesome services. Not every bridal couple requires
a wedding planner but every couple deserves to have a coordinator.
W E A K N E S S : Being able to say NO to others who require my help or assistance. I love to help
people, and not just clients either - even other wedding coordinators!
C O N T R I B U T I O N : My contribution to this world is to succeed and share my blessings and
experiences with others less fortunate than me. I am passionate about raising
awareness and educating people about stopping Domestic Violence through sponsorship and
The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Hawaii throughdonation and volunteering. OUR SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVE Wedding Planner 808 is working to
provide our clients with the best eco-friendly options for their wedding day and beyond! Our
green credentials set us apart from the competition and help us stand out to the growing
number of couples seeking green alternatives. We received 5 Leaves – APPROVED VENDOR!
I would like to lessen my carbon footprint in this world and leave it a better place than when I
entered it.
I A M G R AT E F U L F O R : I am grateful for my life and being given this opportunity and blessing of living my dreams doing what I love most and for being able to enjoy life, family and
friends simultaneously.
Y E A R S I N B U S I N E S S : 8 years in June 2012, averaging 19-21 weddings per year ranging
from destination weddings of a bridal couple of two to 300 guests. Our average guest list is
from 200 to 300 guests. The largest guest list was for a party with over 800 guests for a wedding on 07/07/07.
W H Y S H O U L D A B R I D E O R V E N D O R W O R K W I T H YO U : with me will be provided
with excellent customer service through interpersonal communications, personalized service
by attention to detail and
making a conscious effort to
remember all of the details of
each and every wedding without reference to any notes or
client flle. I value every relationship I encounter as if they
are family. Every person that
enters my life becomes lifetime friends professionally
and personally.

aving a wedding will mostly be all
about you and your special person,
yet you need to remember some
etiquette rules that apply to your
guests. The better you treat your
guests, the more likely they are to
enjoy your wedding and think of you in a positive light.
WEDDING INVITATIONS
Wedding invitations should be mailed out six weeks
prior to the wedding day, unless friends or relatives
need to fly in from out of town. Then the invitation
should be mailed eight to ten weeks in advance to
give your guests time to make travel and hotel ar
rangements, Custom also has it that invitations need
to be mailed from the bride’s home, even if the guests
are friends and family of the groom, The envelope
should have the full names of the family or individual
you are inviting, and the inside card should just have
first names. When you are inviting a single person, it
is polite to write “and Guest” next to their name.
Wedding invitation wording should reflect the for
mality of your wedding, The more formal, the closer
to tradition you would want to be. Invitations should
tell your guests exactly what they need to know. The
wording you use is also important, although there
are many vaieties to choose from. Consult a wedding
guide or catalog before you order your invitations to
know which wording will suit you best.
For destination weddings, make sure you mail “Save
the Date” cards at least a year in advance so guests
can begin making travel plans.
THANK YOU NOTES
It used to be that if you said thank you to someone
in person for his or her gift, a thank you note was not
required. But these days, when couples are inviting
more guests to the wedding, and more people send
gifts through mail, thank you notes are the only way
to express your sincere appreciation.
When should you send out thank you notes for your
bridal shower or wedding? ASAP! The sooner, the
better. Everyone appreciates a thank you note, espe
cially if it comes soon after the event. For the shower,
notes should be sent out 10-14 days after the event.
-
Thank you notes for wedding gifts received before
the wedding should go out 2 weeks after receiving
the gift so a prolonged period of time does not go
between receiving the gift and sendng the note.
Proper wedding etiquette says that notes should be
sent out 2 weeks to a month after you return from
the honeymoon. If time starts racing and you’ve put
notes on the back burner for too long, send them any
way. People expect thank you notes for their gifts and
they will still appreciate one even if its is late.
67
-
Handwritten notes are the only way to go. If a guest
receives a pre-printed thank you note, he or she may
feel unappreciated for the time and effort they took
in choosing your wedding gift. No matter how short
your handwritten note is, it adds a personal touch
which expresses your appreciation so much better.
Lastly, your wedding day could not be possible with

Whether holding your event
indoor, outdoor, or both,
there is no other place like
the Environmental Services
Building!
Located at Pierce County’s
Chambers Creek Regional
Park, the Environmental
Services Building is a unique
and beautiful setting for your
wedding and reception.
AFTER THE
Now that you have attended the Bride’s Club Wedding Expo, what
brochures, business cards, and giveaways that you’ve received?
Organize them into different categories (e.g. venues,
coordinators, photographers, videographers, DJ’s
florists, hair/makeup artists, etc.)
After that re-order each category by personal preference based on the quality, style, or personality of
the vendor.
Narrow the categories even further by choosing 3-5
vendors that really interest you.
Take note of all the special offers on all the flyers and
brochures, as well as any expiration dates.
Contact the vendors for a consultation, and make
sure to find out if it’s complimentary to make sure
there are no surprises.
Create a budget for each aspect of the wedding.
Having a budget will help you shorten your list of
companies even further, and is invaluable when you
eventually meet with the vendors.
Meet with the vendors and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Look to meet with at least 3 different wedding
planners, caterers, dj’s, etc. to ensure you’re making
the right choice in getting the services your wedding
will require, and within budget.
Ask about contract policies, deposits, special offers,
as well as guarantee of work and completion date
with deadlines. Make no commitments until you’re
done shopping around.
Ask the vendor if they will be working with you directly or will someone else assist you, as you should
be consulting with the person that will help you up
until you say, “I do” versus having a stranger show up
to your wedding.
Now comes the big decision…determine which vendor works well with your personality, style, and budget. Remember, you will be working with them for
weeks, even months, from the planning stage up until your wedding day.

What sets your company apart from your competitor?
What unique products or services do you provide?
How long have you been in business? Tell me about your level of expertise in the wedding industry.
Do you belong to any professional associations, clubs, or non-profit organizations?
Will you be working with me directly or will you be sending someone else?
What are your working hours from set up, breakdown, and end time? (e.g. some vendors may charge
extra for parties that go past 9pm)
What do your charges entail (e.g. service fees, gas, mileage, parking, overtime) and how transparent are
these fees in the billing process?
What are your event policies and what is not covered under your contract?
When are initial payments due? Subsequent payments?
What type of payments do you accept?
What are your cancellation and refund policies?
Do you carry General Liability Insurance? Would I be covered under your insurance?
How many weddings can you accommodate in one day or in one weekend?
Lastly, if you are unsure about the vendor, do a little research by asking friends and family for
referrals, reading online reviews on sites like Yelp or Google+, or contact the Better Business
Bureau for additional information.

We seek the comfort of another.
Someone to share and share the life we choose.
Someone to help us through the neverending attempt
to understand ourselves. And in the end,
someone to comfort us along the way.
