Use the ceremony section of the book to plan a meaningful and romantic ceremony involving your family and friends. Make a wonderful memory.

Kas Winters

When friends ask why I chose to write a wedding planner, my response is simply that someone should learn from my mistakes! As a graphic artist, executive director and church administrator, I have been involved in event planning for over 30 years. That includes everything from the Arizona State Fair to conferences to business meetings to church gatherings to children's events to family parties, and, of course, weddings.

In addition to planning and organizing events, I've designed special wedding invitations, designed custom wedding jewelry, baked and decorated wedding cakes, done flower arranging, performed in musical groups, taken photos professionally and contracted with professional photographers, worked with videographers to produce presentations, sewn and designed formalwear, decorated for all types of events and even worked for a caterer! Somehow wedding planning seemed a "natural" direction to go.

Did You Know?

Wedding things you should know.

You can be charged a "cake cutting fee" per slice if you bring your own cake into some reception sites.

There are special limousines designed to accommodate large wedding gowns with hoop skirts.

Prime wedding locations are often booked more than a year in advance.

Tossing rice is not permitted in most ceremony and reception locations today.

It's a good idea to check the watering schedule for an outdoor wedding to make sure sprinklers don't come on in the middle of everything.

There can be major extra charges for transporting a cake, flowers, etc. to a remote location. Just think of all the bumps!

You can be charged a "corkage fee" if your reception location has someone pour drinks, including champagne, that you have supplied.

Find out what is included. For example a bride's mother was asked at the last minute if she wanted an aisle runner for a garden wedding. She replied, "Of course." and received a fee for an additional $150 on her bill for the aisle runner which was not part of the reception package.
