As owner and lead consultant of Emma Grace Designs, I work every day with brides who want a perfect day. We spend months, and in some cases more than a year, evaluating local vendors to find a perfect fit for each event. In the end, the time and energy we spend in the planning process pays off with each "wow" we hear. "Wow, how beautiful" or "wow, what a great night!" The "wow" factor is how we grade our events, and in reality, each vendor that we choose.

While not every bride knows the value of this information, every planner knows that your event is only as good as the team working behind the scenes. As the captain of this team, your reputation is on the line with every event. But if you are not from the area, or new to the industry, how do you know which companies are worth your time  - and your bride's valuable budget dollars? That is how the Emma Grace Cheat Sheet was born. We wanted to create an in-depth, local wedding resource to help professionals plan a "wow" worthy event in half  the time.

Thanks to the internet, there are dozens of lists and services that offer basic vendor information. The Emma Grace Cheat Sheet is different in three ways:

Click for Sample Listing 1) NO UNKNOWNS
The vendors listed within the Emma Grace Cheat Sheet are chosen based on a reputation  and history of quality, reliable and professional service. These are the vendors that we recommend to our clients every day.

2) NO OPINIONS
Each vendor listing includes specific black-and-white, pricing and service information. The biggest complaint we hear from brides is about how hard it is to get basic information from most vendors - what kind of services or packages they offer and how much does it cost. With the Cheat Sheet, there is no need to navigate voicemail hell. Once you narrow your top choices, all you need to do is contact your chosen vendors to confirm availability and set-up your first meeting.

3) NO WORRIES
If you've already begun to do a little research, you've probably been inundated with advertisements, SPAM and other unsolicited information from dozens of vendors. How do you know which ones are worth your money? We know from experience. In planning hundreds of events throughout the Southeast, we have worked with dozens of vendors, many of which are listed in the Emma Grace Cheat Sheet - and some that are not. As experienced wedding coordinators, our reputation is on the line with every vendor that we recommend. The same is true here. As a Cheat Sheet subscriber, you get access to the information and advice we give to every Emma Grace client.

The Emma Grace Cheat Sheet includes vendor information for more than 20 vendor categories used most often during the wedding planning process. At the vendor level, each detail page lists the basics: Company name, address, website, contact name, phone and email; as well as vendor specific information about packages, services and pricing.

In the end, we want the Cheat Sheet to be exactly that - a quick and reliable resource to make the difficult and sometimes overwhelming task of planning a wedding, a little easier. Thanks for your time, I know just how valuable it is! If you have any questions about the Cheat Sheet or Emma Grace Designs, please don't hesitate to contact us at cs@emmagracedesigns.com.
