At A Hand in Marriage, we specialize in medium to large scale celebrations. Runaway style, elopement weddings are often more simple affairs and while we love love, many other planners in the area cover this type of thing.
We do the whole shabang - Venue, flowers, entertainment, lighting & sound, decoration, catering, cake, transport, vibe - hell, if you need us to join you shopping for your wedding day attire, we're there!
To celebrate abroad, does not in any way, mean you have to have a smaller arrangement - A holiday AND a spectacular day to remember combined is the dream, isn't it?!
From a laid back, chilled day in the Spanish sun with tapas on tap, to a scorcher of a showstopping production with fireworks and a trendy 5-piece band playing into the early morning, is what we're all about!
Look, planning a wedding is no easy feat. If you chose to marry at your village church with sandwiches in the local pub after, you'd have plenty to do. So, getting everyone to another country as well as choosing the most reputable, professional vendors, the best suited venue to you as a couple, have enough local knowledge to inform everyone of the whereabouts and accomodation choices, the creative flare to bring you vision to life, dealing with a potential language barrier and a cultural change of pace...you get the jist? IT'S A LOT.
Save yourself the unnecessary stress.
My job is to bring together the orchestra. By sourcing, connecting and communicating, I'll make sure everyone's instruments are tuned and in time, resulting in the most perfect symphony of a day, with you guys centre stage.
Firstly, you need someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. Your wedding day is one of the most important of your life, so it needs to be in good hands.
Big decisions will be made and discussions about sometimes difficult things will be covered (money... why Aunt Doris can't be sat anywhere near Cousin Mary due to ongoing family drama etc.) so making sure your planner is 'let in' on more of a friend level is so important in getting everything right on your special day.
In your consultation, you need to 'click' with your planner and feel at ease, to make sure your planning process can be made easier from the get go and you can be honest throughout.
Each planner prices differently. They say a planner should be approximately 5-10% of your wedding budget. They also say a wedding can take over 500 hours to plan, so if a planner is priced at €1500, their hourly rate is €3, BARGAIN!! *considers upping prices*...
All of our prices are in EURO as that is our local currency that all suppliers/venues will be paid in, but whatever currency your paying in, it will be at the current exchange to EURO.
At present, our pricing is packaged to jam pack as much into your planning process as possible. We have created a tiered package system so you can have as much or little input from us as required.
Head to our packages to check out what they include and we'll speak soon!
