So you are engaged. Now what???

Early on, it can seem like planning a wedding is an insurmountable task at first, but with proper planning and a skilled team of professionals supporting you, you can take the worry out of planning for your special day.  We recommend that all couples start working on their wedding plans as soon as possible.  It may seem the wedding date is many months away, but it will be here before you know it.
