Wedding Coordinator Familiar with Jewish Weddings
Hi all you wonderful people who take on the craziness that is planning weddings :)
I just got engaged (yay!) and am planning to have an Oct. 2011 wedding. I know its a tad bit early to start really planning but I did want to get a jump on finding the right coordinator. I live in Manhattan but my fiance's family lives on LI and he works out there as well, and the chances are fairly high that the wedding will be on LI too. My own family lives in Canada, so my mom really thinks (and I agree) that I should have someone helping me with the planning from the start, and not just a DOC. I wouldn't call ours a 'budget wedding' but we obviously don't want to break the bank (more $ details are available if you FM me).
The most important piece of this is that we are both traditional conservative Jews, and will be having a Jewish wedding. Not an orthodox wedding, but many if not all of the Jewish wedding traditions will be incorporated. That said, I need a planner who either specializes in or is VERY familiar with Jewish weddings, traditions, and most importantly Jewish mothers of the bride :).
I look forward to hearing from you and thanks so much!
