Top 10 “Not-so-Obvious”
Reasons
to Hire The Double Knot:
1.
We help you ask the right questions when it
comes to vendor research.
In the planning stages, every type of vendor is different
and it helps to let our experience work for you when you meet with them. We ask
the questions you didn’t think about because let’s face it, you have never done
this before! For example, what happens if they have an emergency? Do they
require a certain amount of time to load in or out? Do they need their own
power source? Are there any delivery or overtime fees? The list goes on and
on...
2.
Save time doing research!
We make vendor research easy because we already have relationships in the
industry. By utilizing our long list of preferred vendors, you don’t have to go
looking for vendors yourself! Plus, our preferred vendors are on our list
because we love working with them and vice versa. They are not paying us in
anything but great service. If you use our list, you will have peace of mind
that your team consists of professionals who will show up on time and be
prepared to give you great service and a
great party.
3.
We make sure your timeline makes sense
& works for your vendors.
Each vendor has been booked for a certain timeframe, and
they can charge for overtime if you run behind schedule. We are there to ensure
that you get your money’s worth and aren’t paying on the spot for overtime
charges. Also, we know what to watch out for and how to organize your timeline
so you are sure to have enough time for getting your groove on at the end of
the night. Running on schedule is our goal, but that said, we still stay
flexible and read the crowd while working with your vendors involved to smooth
out any surprises behind the scenes.
4.
We can be your outside opinion, voice of
reason, and the middle man.
Not sure how to respond to all the family throwing their
opinions at you? Bring their “recommendations” to us and we can give you our
professional (and therapeutic) advice so you can make the right decision for you. Plus, it’s just nice to have an
experienced planner to go to for questions and advice because you know that asking mom will just
frustrate you more! And in most cases, the wedding industry has changed a lot
since mom did this last, right? Am I wrong?
5.
We help you save money, and we recycle
stuff!
Every event is different, but sometimes we can help you
prioritize, combine vendors, adjust packages, and negotiate contracts to help
you stick to the budget that you were hoping for. Also, some of our preferred
vendors offer our couples a discount because they love working with us! We also
like to recycle leftover wedding decor and items, so no need to buy votives, a
money bag, or an envelope box for example because we have one and if you like
it, you can use it!

6.
We make sure every detail is set and
utilized.
Brides spend a lot of time working out the details and
creating beautiful DIY projects. We make sure that each item is placed out and
utilized properly. For example, you won’t have to worry that the guest book
might get overlooked because we go the extra mile to pass it around to your
guests during the reception so that you get more love (and the messages get
more detailed and sentimental too!).
7.
We make sure you eat, drink, and be
married!
A lot of couples are so busy during their event that they
don’t get a chance to eat the food that they spent so much time, money and
energy picking out! We make sure you have minimal distractions and get to enjoy
your first dinner together as a married couple. For buffet dinners, we even
bring the food to you saving you a little extra time!
8.
We make sure you don’t lose your stuff.
Let’s face it: it is difficult to find things at the end
of an amazing party, right? With The Double Knot, we do your set up and your clean up so items are placed
right back into the same box they came in. We are also the last to leave an
event, so any items that are found by the venue clean up staff get found and
returned to you by us. No one likes to come back the next day to look for lost
items because the staff who was there that night will not return until the next
event, and who knows where they stashed your stuff.

9.
We help you enjoy your day more fully
(stress and Bridezilla free).
Because of #1-8 above, you get to enjoy your event by
seeing and doing more! During the event, couples get what we call “tunnel
vision” and can only take in so many moments. So, if they are worried about
vendors, and timelines, how are they able to enjoy seeing grandpa boogieing on
the dance floor or enjoying the flower girl do her own rendition of “Single
Ladies (Put a Ring on it)”? We take care of those other details so you don’t
have to.
10.
We aren’t here to enjoy the party... we are
here to make sure that you do!
It is always nice when family members offer to help, but
they also want to enjoy the celebration (and libations). Don’t stress your
family out by making them work all night! They want to spend time with
out-of-town guests. They don’t want to worry about where we are on the timeline
or what still needs to be set up. Also, you will have peace of mind that your
clean-up crew will not be affected by an open bar so your breakable cake topper
will be in good hands. We are invested in making sure everything goes well and
will not be distracted by family and friends (or the open bar). We want your family to relax and enjoy the
event as much as you!
