Frequently Asked Questions DOES MOANA EVENTS PROVIDE “DAY-OF” SERVICES? Currently we are only offering Full Coordination and Design. We have found that with “Day-Of’ services we don’t have the time to get to know you and assist in designing a truly special event. In order to do our best work and to save you both time and money, we prefer to be involved from the beginning. WHY DO I NEED A WEDDING PLANNER? You are investing a significant amount of time and resources into a momentous occasion and there is great value in having an expert to guide you through the process, as well as having an advocate on your behalf. Moana Events will offer experienced advice, provide referrals, conduct research, book vendors, negotiate contracts, track your budget and payments, schedule meetings and keep you updated. And when the big day comes, we will be right there with you to assure a polished and engaging experience for you to enjoy alongside your guests. CAN I AFFORD A WEDDING PLANNER? Hiring a wedding planner is the best way to ensure that you stay within your event budget and we believe the best investment to make when planning a wedding. We enable you to relax and enjoy your event, making our services a high priority for many couples. Having a seasoned relationship with a variety of vendors and fluent in negotiations, we can secure discounts for our clients that they would not receive otherwise. Moana Events offers professional guidance and the wealth of experience required to make the most of your financial resources. WHY SHOULDN’T I HAVE MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY COORDINATE MY WEDDING? While friends and family are eager to help, they may not have the experience or time to deal with the unforeseen circumstances that will arise on your big day. Having a knowledgeable third party takes the stress off of friends and family, so that they can enjoy your wedding alongside you.
WHAT MAKES MOANA EVENTS EXCEPTIONAL WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER WEDDING PLANNERS? We have over fourteen years of experience and are nationally recognized for our custom designs and the quality of our events. As a boutique wedding planning firm, we believe that each wedding is unique and only seek to provide you with the services you want. We do not up-sell our clients or mask fees and will be happy to help you realize your vision while keeping within your financial resources. WILL I LOSE CONTROL OF THE PLANNING PROCESS? Moana Events wants to realize YOUR unique vision and understands the importance of having a wedding that reflects your personality. We are in communication with you every step of the way and keep you updated by utilizing online documents, so that you have real time access to important information. You are the boss when it comes to making decisions, we are just here to execute on your behalf. WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE AS A WEDDING PLANNER? Owner & Creative Director, Morgan Childs, has designed and coordinated everything from large and lavish weddings for hundreds of guests to small and intimate beach weddings for two. Her knowledge of wedding planning, etiquette, customs and style comes with over fourteen years of experience. DO YOU PLAN SMALL WEDDINGS OR ELOPEMENTS? Our Custom Wedding Coordination & Design is geared towards weddings of over 20 guests. If you have a smaller party, we have recently launched our beautiful pre-designed Modern Elopement collections. Ask us about these services! CAN YOU PROVIDE REFERENCES? We would be happy to put you in touch with one of our recently wed couples, just let us know!
