Relieving Wedding Stress: Why Hiring a Planner is Important The Wedding Tea
-
- Society & Culture
The key to a smooth and efficient wedding day lies in finding the right wedding planner that meshes with your personality as a couple. I’ve known Tiffany Chalk for a few years now and have worked with her on several weddings. She’s a sought-after planner known throughout the wedding and event industry as a master space transformationist.
Tiffany dedicates herself to her craft and likes to stay abreast of what she calls T3--the latest technology, techniques, and talent boosters which makes her the go-to person for forecasting industry trends in the PA Tri-State area. She amplifies the “wow factor” for clients’ expectations, regardless of limited budgets, and is an expert at transforming space. This has made her one of the most sought-after planners and speakers at industry conferences and retreats in recent years, both internationally and stateside.
She sets herself apart from her contemporaries with her distinctive ability to go beyond her client’s expectations without compromising style and sophistication, even with the most modest budgets. Her charismatic demeanor and spontaneity to contextualize creative party and entertaining ideas has led to several guest appearances on Fox 29’s Good Day Philadelphia and WBOC-TV’s DelmarvaLife.
In today’s episode, you’ll get plenty of advice alongside some humorous tidbits as I talk with Tiffany about wedding planning and discuss why it’s in your best interest to hire a wedding planner at all.
