Being Prepared for Everything…

What’s in my wedding day kit?

I’ve been planning weddings for a while now, and I love it! There are so many things that need to be accounted for and prepped for. As your wedding planner, you entrust me to be prepared for anything and everything when it comes to your wedding day. I’ve come across so many different situations on wedding days (you truly never know what will happen on an event day!) and I’ve used almost every tool in my kit at least once. After almost every event, I add something new to it because I either wish I had it or thought it would be useful in the future.

If you have been a couple of mine and have seen me show up to (or leave) your wedding, you have probably wondered what is in my large, rolling bag. Wonder no more! This kit comes with me to every wedding and houses all of my tools (beyond what I carry in my apron). And planners: I hope you find this useful! Maybe it will spark an idea or give you something to add to your own kit. On the flip side, if you have anything that I missed let me know!
