Super Liaison Reviews

Super Liaison = Coordinate + Officiate

We bought the Super Liaison Package from Carolyn that included wedding consulting and advice, as well as being our officiant. She did both of these things beautifully. I appreciated that she was detail-oriented, flexible, friendly, and respected what really mattered to us. She is honest but not brutally so, and that's a nice thing to have when you are planning your wedding. We were very happy that she was with us on our special day. ~Libby and Jon

Thank you so very much for helping us create and provide a beautiful celebration. Your expertise and calm demeanor helped us when most needed. We had a fairy-tale wedding thanks, in part, to you. ~ Raena and Abram

Carolyn was so wonderful. I could not have relaxed on the day of the wedding without her. She took care of all the details I didn't even think about. I highly recommend having Carolyn as a Super Wedding Liaison! ~Amie and Rob

How Formal Is Your Wedding?

The formal bridal party consists of four to twelve attendants; a maid or matron of honor, the best man, bridesmaids, one usher for every fifty guests, one or two flower girls, and a ring bearer. The bride's gown is a work of art, full length, usually with a train and veil. The number of guests is often between 150 and 400. It's not unusual for the bride and groom to enlist the aid of a wedding consultant in planning these lavish events. Some, but not all, of the guidelines shown above are relaxed in a semi-formal wedding. The ceremony and reception can take place in a variety of locations and both are often held at the same place. Semi-formal weddings usually have fewer attendants, and wedding attire and flowers may be less traditional and more innovative. How Formal Is Your Wedding? Formal weddings are usually held in a church, synagogue, temple, a hotel ballroom, home or a garden. These weddings follow a myriad of time- honored customs, preserved down to the las...

The Science of Relationships

Marriage may simply be about celebrating a milestone: recognizing the relationship that a couple has built together and the love that they share for each other. But weddings are also very future-oriented, as the couple publicly promises to maintain their relationship for life. Marriage vows – the solemn promises that the newlyweds make to each other in front of their closest friends and family – are why weddings have such an emotional impact. If these promises are the essence of what it means to be married, then what exactly do you want to promise each other? You could always go with the traditional marriage vows: for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better for worse…but, these seemed a bit too vague for our tastes. Below are the ten promises taken from www.ScienceOfRelationships.com Each of these promises is going to help achieve long-term marital bliss (we hope). 1. I promise to respect, admire and appreciate you for who you are, as well as for the...
