HIB's What Do You Do?

Paula1b, 4 January, 2009 at 12:04 Posted on Planning 0 34

We are going about the wedding planning business a bit backwards for a variety of reasons and so are trying to price as much up as possible.

So I wondered if all you HIB's could tell me what services you offer (would rather use you than random companies) so that I can work out everything we will need and therefore a rough costing.

Many thanks in advance and can't wait to hear from you all ?

    Hi Paula1b,

    Sounds like a sensible approach to me!

    I design and make Swarovski crystal and pearl tiaras, all of which can be colour customised to suit your theme. My designs are high quality yet are reasonably costed and I have made the tiaras and jewellery of lots of hitchers.

    I also do a range of vintage designs, all made using carefully sourced vintage tiaras and jewellery. These one-off designs are proving very popular, so if you see a design you like, snap it up before it disappears.

    Anyway, I hope that helps a bit.

    Let me know if I can help.

    Kelly

    Hi Paula,

    Tony here from Rubber Soul - We're a Soul Wedding Band ideal for the party afterwards. I'm relatively new to hitched and one of the few blokes on here (believe you me I'm slightly scared!!) but we're dedicated to taking the hassle out of the evening entertainment. We can also provide Jazz ensembles for drinks and we have good contacts in the string quartet world too.

    Even if soul is not your cup of tea we have some good advice on how to hire other musicians and DJs on our site (link to the advice page in my signature).

    Feel free to check us out if you'd like to. Listed on Hitched and links below, or google us.

    All the best and good look with the planning

    Tony

    Hi Paula!

    I'm Mrs Snow Patroller, aka Carnegie Livett Designs - all your stationery needs from beginning to end!

    I have a few designs on my website, but mostly work on bespoke orders for my clients, so if you don't see anything that takes your fancy on my website (www.carnegielivettdesigns.co.uk) then I can design something unique just for you.

    I'd like to think my prices are very competitive - of course bespoke work is priced accordingly. I have also been known to work 'backwards' - i.e. starting with a very low budget for one hitcher and coming up with a few options that I could achieve using her themed colours/ideas but within her tight budget ...

    Not sure if stationery is still on your to find list but if it is, I'd be delighted to try to help you out!
