wedding planning

Let's Say Hello

As you are looking around for your perfect wedding planner, we may be only one of many companies you are considering. Not too worry as we want you to perform your due diligence. Our experience begins with your inquiry into Antonia Baker Experience which we respond to with an electronic brochure, information from our Honeybook account, and you choose the packages and options you love. Once you have decided on going to the next step, we schedule our Meet-Up to take this connection to the next level.

The Meet-Up

Before we get started on your dream wedding, we need to meet up and get to know each other. During this meeting, all questions are allowed and encouraged. Discussing your wants and our approach is how we will learn if we are a great fit. If we have a strong connection and you enjoy the way the Antonia Baker Experience works, then we can move forward with reserving our services for your date. This is the beginning of beautiful friendship.

site visits

Your wedding venue is one of the most critical decisions you will need to make during your planning process. On average, we will visit three venues to find your perfect location. During each visit we will review possible floor plans including table and vendor locations, the caterer's area, the bridal suite, the cocktail area, as well as possible picture opportunities for your photographer. Our goal is to make sure you love the venue and that it can deliver on your wedding expectations.

Vendor Selection

We have a preferred list of vendors that we match to you based on your personality and event expectations. Additionally, we have negotiated pricing for your benefit. Use of personally selected vendors is fine as long as we can verify their references and we believe their service is in your best interest. Depending on the package, we will participate in your vendor meetings to allow for a low-stress experience. This step takes a few months, but it can be less if needed.

wedding month

The month of your wedding is when all the planning comes together. We will be finishing your wedding timeline, complete the seating charts, coordinate all pertinent information with your vendor team, and complete your final dress fitting. Additionally, any issues that arise such as weather concerns or guest needs will be dealt with based on our experienced protocols. Finally, we will conduct a final walk-through of your reception venue and perform your wedding rehearsal at your ceremony site. Depending on your package, we can also coordinate the rehearsal dinner.

wedding day!

Your magical day has arrived and it is going to be amazing! Our wedding day experience includes 12-hour coverage where we will oversee the set up and breakdown of the ceremony and reception sites, facilitate vendor arrivals along with final timeline reviews with vendors, and assist the bride and bridal party in getting ready. If the wedding guest list is more than 125 people, the bride will have a personal concierge which really relieves the day-of jitters. Your day will be the best you have ever experienced and we will be there with you every step of the way.
