Each wedding our team plans is a unique and distinctive event tailored to emphasize the personality, taste and style of the bride and groom. We always remember this is your wedding and that we are here to help and advise, never to takeover or dominate.

OR the venue of your choice. If you need assistance with venue options, our wedding planners will be happy to assist you.

At the same time, you will actually be getting a better price than if you did it all by yourself.
We encourage you to shop around yourself to see what it would cost to piece together your own wedding (not to mention your time – usually over 100 hours), then compare it to Blue Ribbon Wedding’s all-inclusive package. (See below for price comparison of ala carte services elsewhere.)

The beauty of our all-inclusive wedding package is that the bride and groom customize it. Blue Ribbon’s approach is unique in that we do not offer a standard wedding services package. There are not specific selections you are required to choose from. Each wedding we plan is unique and distinctive. Bring your ideas, personality and style and we will work with you to create your perfect wedding. Our Wedding Planning Team will offer suggestions and help guide you through all that is involved in planning and running the full-scale event that is a wedding.

With our all-inclusive package you don't have to worry about:
• Performing endless vendor interviews.
• Mailing out several different deposits and contracts.
• Orchestrating who arrives when.
• Will the tables and linens be delivered and setup before the cake arrives?
• Who will setup the tables?
• Who will pick up the linens, set them up, and then return them?
• Who will pick up and setup all the chairs, linens, favors, flowers, decorations, bar, beverage table, gift table, sign in table, buffet tables?
• Who will run the buffet and keep it stocked?
• Who will cleanup from the ceremony, reception and the kitchen at the end of the night?
• Who will clean and package up the bridal keepsakes at the end of the night?
• Who will cut and serve the cake and champagne?
• What happens when the florist gets sick the morning of the wedding and can't deliver the flowers?
• Who will run out to find someone, somewhere?
• Triple confirming arrival times and services with vendors.

When the bride gets 15 more RSVP's trickling in 18 days before the wedding, our staff will arrange for 15 more plates, 15 more glasses, 15 more slices of cake, 2 more tables, 2 more table cloths, 15 more napkins, 15 more sets of silverware, more beverages, more food; the bride and her family can actually enjoy the days leading up to the big event.
