Why Hire a Wedding Planner | Destination Maine Weddings

Why Should I Hire a Wedding Planner?

To do- or not to do. That is the question

First of all, whether you have a guest list of 50 or 200, planning requires more than picking a menu or pretty flowers. It’s a ton of work, work that I love.

A destination planner is your boots on the ground. You can tap us to take care  of everything on your list, and some things you never thought about. We are the pros and you will be in good hands for anything that comes up. We are connected to the top pros and vendors in Maine.

This has never been more important than this past few weeks

My couples have been calling, sometimes in tears about moving their wedding or cancelling it completely. For most of my couples, I have been working with them for over a year. I have met them, their parents, and best friends. I have heard about the shower, the bachelor and bachelorette parties. I am connected to my couples and my heart breaks from them right now.

The words I have heard over and over the last 2 weeks are “we are so grateful to have you.”

As they have had to make some tough decisions, I have been there to guide them and give them options. I am the one that calls all the vendors to see what dates are open to move the wedding. I am the one that guides them in creating a different wedding, some smaller, some moved into 2021.

I know how much this date meant to them, I know how frightened and uncertain they feel. We all do!

We are in this together. My vendor friends feel your sadness  and are working with me to see that we give you the day you dreamed of. We can and will be there, and I will lead your team for you.

LOVEfromME,

About Catie: I am a lover of weddings and the love stories behind them. Let’s take your story, your vision, your dream and create the most special day of your life. Whether it’s in a romantic rustic barn, under a tent on the coast of Maine, or an intimate elopement on one of the Islands in Casco Bay, I am the trusted person, boots on the ground, leader of your team. From York to Kennebunk, Portland to Boothbay, Camden or Bar Harbor. I can make it happen!

I have lived in Maine for 30 years and have been lucky enough through my job and love of travel to have an intimate knowledge of coastal Maine. I owned Magnolia’s Catering Company and wedding catering was a huge part of my business. When couples asked for my suggestions for venues, florists, or bands – it became apparent we needed to add planning as a part of our services. After selling the catering company, we stayed on the planning side of weddings and never looked back. Our team believes in the smallest detail to the grandest of gesture. We match you with the most talented vendors that reflect your style. Our passion to show the beauty of my adopted state, Maine, is what sets us apart.
