MEET SAN FRANCISCO’S WEDDING SPECIALIST
Tell us a bit about your background in weddings.
I’ve been lucky enough to turn my passion into a career as a wedding planner for the past seven years. My love for the industry began while catering in college. I remember watching the wedding planners run around managing every detail from decorating to sending the bride down the aisle. After coordinating for a bit, I eventually moved into planning. I’ve had the pleasure of planning intimate elopements to grand 400 guest affairs. It’s incredibly gratifying to be trusted by a couple with such an important day and see all of our hard work come to life.

Tutembee kupitia uzoefu wa uteuzi wa menyu.
Ninawahimiza wanandoa kubinafsisha kila undani wa harusi yao, chini ya grub! Ikiwa unapenda chakula cha faraja, pata ubunifu na kitu kama kuku na waffles vilivyooanishwa na kituo cha mac na jibini. Je, sushi ni kwenda kwako usiku? Fikiria bar mbichi. Ninapenda mitindo ya kipekee, ya maingiliano, ya kuvutia ya dining (hasa kwenye yacht!) na vituo vya ubunifu, hors nzito zilizopitishwa d'oeuvres, na spins za kina, za kipekee. Wakati mmoja nilikuwa na wanandoa ambao walipenda maarufu ya San Francisco Ni-Ni sana kwamba tulihifadhi barafu kavu na tulikuwa na sandwichi za ice cream kwa dessert!

How do couples benefit from having a bridal attendant of their own?
I’m 100% biased but I don’t think you can put a price on a ‘wedding wingwoman’! As your planner we are here for it all: juggling several vendors at once, being sensitive to unique family dynamics, bridal party roundup, timeline management, event flow, all the way down to emotional support! Bottom line: most couples are planning this type of event for the first time and using their savings. It’s priceless to have a cheerleader on the sidelines encouraging you, helping guide you in the best direction, and making sure you enjoy the experience!

Tuambie kuhusu siku ya harusi ya kawaida, siku ya harusi. Wanandoa wanapaswa kutarajia nini?
Jaribu bora yako ya kuacha mafadhaiko na uaminifu mpangaji wako ili uweze kukaa katika nywele zako na kiti cha babies, champagne mkononi, kuzungukwa na marafiki wako bora na kufurahia siku yako. Kabla na wakati wa sherehe itakuwa sehemu ya ujasiri zaidi ya kutarajia kuwa kwenye Wingu 9 baadaye! Kukaa katika wakati kwa sababu siku itapita katika blink ya jicho. Hakikisha unafinya katika mapumziko ya dakika kumi kwa wawili tu kabla ya kuingia kwenye chama.

What are some of the benefits couples can expect from having their ceremony / reception on a yacht?
You will receive amazing feedback from your guests after the event. Everyone has been to a wedding, but has everyone been to a wedding on a private yacht in the San Francisco Bay Area?! Your guests will be talking about how cool the experience was to all your other friends that are getting married. #MicDrop

"Sijui wapi pa kuanzia," ... Alisema kila wanandoa wapya wanaohusika milele! Hii ndio sababu ni muhimu kuwa na mtaalamu anayekuongoza chini ya safari yako ya kupanga harusi. Tunakupa vidokezo, miongozo, na ushauri juu ya hatua zinazofuata unapokaribia siku kubwa.

Kuacha na kuchukua muda wakati wa sherehe yako na mapokezi ya kuangalia karibu na kweli kuloweka juu ya upendo wote na nishati katika chumba.

Ni harusi yako ya kukumbukwa zaidi hadi sasa na kwa nini?
Ya kwanza ni harusi yangu favorite wakati wote. Wateja wangu walinipata wakati nilipopanga sherehe ya kwanza ya kuzaliwa ya mtoto wao. Walipojishughulisha na kuniomba niwe mpangaji wao, nilikuwa zaidi ya heshima. Nilikuwa kijana mdogo sana na mpangaji wa kijani wakati huo, lakini waliniamini bila kujali. Walinitia moyo niendelee kufuatilia kazi hii na kila ninapoangalia nyuma nitawapongeza kila wakati kwa kunisukuma kufuata ndoto zangu.

Je, unawasaidiaje wanandoa kupunguza gharama bila kukata pembe?
Kuchagua ukumbi kama LEGO husaidia kupunguza gharama bila kukata pembe ndani na yenyewe! Eneo ambalo hutoa katika chakula cha nyumbani, vinywaji, kukodisha, mratibu, DJ, kupiga picha, nk itapunguza kwa kiasi kikubwa muda wako wa kupanga na mafadhaiko kwa nusu.

Ni moja ya hadithi unazopenda kutoka kwa harusi ambayo umefanya kazi katika siku za nyuma?
Ilikuwa siku ya joto zaidi ya majira ya joto na bibi yangu alitangaza kuwa alikuwa moto. Mgeni wa harusi kwa urahisi alimkabidhi kisu cha mfukoni. Aliipeleka kwenye gown yake na kuifanya kuwa mavazi mafupi ya Visa katikati ya sakafu ya densi. Epic!
