Carol started her wedding and event consulting business in 1991, and with her wealth of experience, her professionalism, and her warm and friendly demeanor, she has become one of the leading wedding coordinators in the Bay Area. You also will find her name on several exclusive referral lists. We met in her elegant living room, where she usually receives her clients. Her first meeting is free of charge because she is a firm believer that there has to be the right match between the coordinator and the clients. Carol will do as much or as little as you want, from finding a place or helping with invitations to planning the entire event. She can take care of all the necessary paperwork and record keeping. She will accompany clients on visits to all the vendors and will negotiate the best prices. Carols emphasis is on teamwork to make the wedding a success. In her elegant portfolio you can see samples of work from the different vendors she likes to recommend. She prefers to work with vendors who are nice to deal with, love what theyre doing, and do a great job.

Multi-cultural weddings are favorites for Carol. She always is interested in learning something new and incorporating different customs and traditions in the wedding planning. She certainly had the opportunity to do so for a very traditional Korean wedding that she coordinated for an arranged marriage. In addition to the logistics involved in planning a wedding for 600 guests, some of the communication between Carol and her clients required the assistance of an interpreter.

Two weeks before an event, Carol will send a detailed schedule to everyone involved. Vendors will receive maps with directions to the site. They are contacted by phone two days before the event. Her custom-designed weddings are priced according to the service provided and not based on a fixed percentage of the budget; she prides herself on adhering to the initial budget. Clients rave about her calm approach, invaluable assistance, great suggestions, creativity, and good taste, as well as her role as diplomatic mediator in difficult family situations.
