WHY HIRE APRIL WHITNEY EVENTS WEDDING DESIGN PLANNIN AND COORDINATION?
Producing an Event, no matter what size, can be a full time job. There are decisions to make, budgets to work within, people to hire, and departments to manage. Although it can be an enjoyable project, it can also stress relationships, careers and cash flow. Having a professional Coordinator working for you, with their experience and reliable resources, can save you money –
as well as countless hours of aggravation.

CHOOSING A EVENT COORDINATOR
At April Whitney Events we have over 20 years experience in event planning. We take great pride in the details. We are continuously praised for our creativity, and our ability to design and personalize an event like no other. We are organized and thorough to a fault. We are known for our ability to calm nerves and pamper our clients. Yet, we still believe that the most important quality to look for when choosing your Event Coordinator is a good fit...chemistry. You and your Event Coordinator will be spending months working together. You will also be sharing the most important day of your life with him or her. Your Event Coordinator should be someone you feel comfortable with, someone who listens to your wants, as well as your needs, someone who is able to understand and help clarify your vision of your event.

On Site Coordinators
Many Ceremony and Reception sites have “on-site” coordinators. These coordinators can be extremely helpful booking your event and overseeing your day. The difference between an “on-site” coordinator and your Event Coordinator is... the “on-site” coordinator works for the venue, their priority is to the venue. At April Whitney Events we work for you. You are always our priority. We have years of experience in working together with “on-site” coordinators, to ensure that you remain the priority!

At April Whitney Events, we offer...
FULL EVENT DESIGN & COORDINATION
We begin the process of turning your dreams into realities by clarifying your vision of your event. Together, we will focus on what makes you, as a couple, unique. We’ll want to know as much about you as possible - your likes & dislikes - and the way you’ve always imagined your event. We then help you determine your priorities and set a budget.
