Booking Your Wedding Package:
A
Tailored Event office is open Mon-Fri, 9:00 a.m - 6:00p.m/Sat 10am-4pm (EST).
How do I reserve my wedding date?
First call or email us to make sure that your wedding date is available. Once you have decided on A ceremony package and or additional wedding services, a 50% deposit along with a signed contract is required to secure your wedding date. This allows us to begin planning your event. The deposit is applied towards your order and is non-refundable. A professional wedding coordinator will work closely with you on the planning and preparation of your wedding day.
The remaining balance for your wedding package is due within (3) weeks of your wedding date. If your wedding is within (3) weeks of reserving your date, payment in full is required. We will work with you on the deposit and payment arrangements if needed.
Is my wedding legal?
YES! You will be married by a licensed minister or officiant.
What are the marriage requirements? Do I need a blood test?
Please read our marriage requirement(s) page, this will answer many of your questions. If you have still need assistance, please call 1-866-762-2950 and speak with one of our wedding coordinators.
No blood test is required for the State of Florida.
What is a symbolic ceremony?
Some couples prefer to do the legal ceremony in their home city prior to traveling to Florida. In their home state, they marry with a justice of the peace and A Tailored Event arranges a religious or non-denominational ceremony for them. The religious ceremony is not a legal ceremony, rather it is a symbolic ceremony.
Does it matter what day of the week I have my wedding on?
No. We provide services 7 days a week. Keep in mind that we do book up fast during our busy season so we encourage you too book early.
Will I be charged the same price for a symbolic wedding, vow renewal or commitment ceremony?
Yes. The same time and quality service is put into each and every ceremony and are charged at the same rate.
What's the best time of day to have my wedding so I can get the nicest possible photos?
Photographically speaking, the best time of day is late afternoon into sunset, this is when the lighting is most flattering. It will be cooler & more comfortable for you and your guests too.
We are having a sunset wedding, what time should we start?
Check the
sunset time for your wedding day; it varies between 5:30 to 8:30 with the shortest days in the winter. A Tailored Event will evaluate your needs based on the amount of people you have and schedule your wedding ceremony to allow enough coverage time prior to sunset.
For instance, if the sun sets at 7:30 on your wedding day and you choose to add photography, first dance, garter & bouquet toss or cake and champagne service to your package, you will need to start your wedding at 6:00pm. This will allow the most desirable lighting conditions during your ceremony and then allowing coverage at sunset time on or near the beach.
I am interested in the 50-100 un-edited photo package on cd, does this mean the Photographer only takes 24-48 photos?
Yes, the photographer will only take that amount of photos included in the package price.
If you would like professional photography with a large amount of photos taken, retouched and edited, please choose our professional photography package.
How much time should I allow and what photography package should I pick?
The package you choose depends on several factors:
Number of people attending - the more guests you have the more coverage you will need so the larger the package needs to be. You cannot effectively capture a wedding with a 50-100 photo package on cd. If you have over 25 people and want family and/or group shots, you should consider the professional photography. The 50-100 photo packages are great for smaller weddings under 25 guest and focus more on the Bride & Groom.
The more "goodies" your wedding includes, the longer amount of time the photography takes and a larger photo package may be required.
How long does it take to get my photographs and/or cd?
It will take 2 - 3 weeks to receive your photographs or cd which will arrive to you via US mail.
Do I need to pick a ceremony package or can I just rent items that is needed for my wedding day?
NO! We are an all inclusive wedding company so you only pick the services or rental items that you need for your wedding day.
Do you have any advice to help insure a "smooth" wedding day?
Relax! Together with the staff at A Tailored Event, you have put a lot of time and energy into planning the perfect wedding and now that your special day is here, it is time to enjoy each other and the beauty of the moment - let the professionals at A Tailored Event handle the details.
What can I expect from A Tailored Event once I secure my wedding date with a deposit?
Once your contract and deposit is received, you will be sent a confirmation letter by email or phone. Once all the details have been confirmed with our on-site staff, we can set a date and time for your pre-wedding meeting with your on-site coordinator as well as all of the events for your wedding. When you arrive in Florida, you will meet with your personal on-site coordinator. She will show you the wedding site and explain the wedding day's events. She will take care of all details and give you undivided personalized attention during your pre-wedding meeting and on your wedding day if this service has bee selected.
What if it rains on my wedding day?
We cannot predict the weather so therefore we have secured that date and time especially for you so no refund is given in this matter. If you have a back up location in mind, we can move the ceremony location (within our service area) with a 24 hour advance notice and if we can accomodate this request (based on availability). Keep in mind, if you have rented a bamboo arch/chuppah and you change the ceremony location - the clearance way must be a minimum of 11' tall to be able to set the arch up. Our bamboo arch/chuppahs are made to be setup on sand and are custom built on site. If it needs to be moved inside, the arch/chuppah will stand 10' tall vs 8' and will be placed inside planters with silk ferns and greenery. There will be an additional $100.00 service fee, if your arch/chuppah must be moved to a back up location which must be paid by cash prior to setup.
