1. Where are you located?

We are located right outside Portland, Maine but travel throughout New England for most weddings. We love designing weddings at both new and familiar locations and are excited to travel anywhere.

2. Why hire us?

Under promise and over deliver is not just a motto for us but something we live and breathe. Passion is why we do what we do. Just like you hire professionals (doctors, carpenters, electricians, etc) for other areas in your life, planning a wedding is no different and you should hire an expert to help you plan and manage the details of the best day of your life. We only take on a limited number of weddings a year allowing us to really focus on serving our current clients well.

3. How do we book our date?

It starts with a meeting or phone call to connect, make sure we are a good match, and you have a clear understanding of your wedding planning service. From there to lock down the date, a 50% deposit is due along with the signed contract.

4. Are you at all the weddings you plan?

Yes, all of fern & flair’s packages include on site coverage between the rehearsal and wedding day. Even more additional coverage is also common for destination weddings with multi day events happening. We love post wedding brunches and multi day gatherings.

5. What is your pricing?

Our pricing is based on many factors (time of year, location, services we are providing.) We would love to connect to discuss and tailor a package for you to fit your exact needs.

6. Do you work with clients who do not live in the area?

Absolutely! A large percentage of the couples we work with are from out of state. We are very familiar with this process and know the best local spots, vendors, and information you need to have a beautiful destination wedding.

7. What is the difference between you and a venue coordinator?

In a nutshell, from our experience, your venue coordinator is responsible for overseeing the set-up, food and beverage, and logistics as it relates directly to the venue. An outside wedding planner will coordinate and manage ALL logistics and design details with your entire wedding team.

A great wedding planner will not only make YOUR life easier and stress-free when it comes to planning your wedding but will also streamline and simplify the jobs of your entire vendor team (including your venue coordinator!).

8. Do you work from a preferred vendor list?

We do not work from a set vendor list. We curate your vendor team based on the scope, aesthetic, and personality of your event. We do know and trust many great vendors who we will recommend based on these factors.

9. Will I lose control of my wedding after hiring a planner?

Definitely not! Your wedding is YOUR event, not ours. We are there to help and guide you through the planning process, not to take over. We will give you as much or as little help as you want through the process. Special touches that represent you as a couple are near and dear to us.

10. Any more words of wisdom?

Hiring a planner is a big decision. We recommend you choose someone who you feel truly gets you. We do this job because we love it and we are passionate about it. Because of this, we too (just like you!) want to work with an individual because we feel our personalities and styles match. Our goal for all our clients is to amaze, delight, and exceed their expectations. With many of our clients, we form lifelong bonds of friendship while planning for the big day and enjoy keeping up with them and staying in touch long after the wedding day is over!
