Why should I hire a professional consultant?
There are many times in life when you seek the assistance of professionals like doctors, architects, accountants, and teachers among others. You trust these individuals because they have an education and experience that makes them uniquely suited to help you at a particular time in your life. People choose a professional event consultant for the very same reasons.

This is your once-in-a-lifetime event. You want to make sure it is just right. A professional consultant can save you time, reduce stress and help prevent costly mistakes. Whether you need just a little help or a lot, hiring a professional event consultant has been proven to be a wise investment.

What do you charge for your services?
Every client has a unique vision, unique challenges, and unique needs.  We will begin by talking about both your wishes for the event and what you need. You will then receive a custom proposal from Something Blue, based on your event’s scope and timing.

Something Blue offers several different levels to meet your needs, from full event planning to event coordination to even hourly consultations. All are available to you at a terrific value.

What kind of events does Something Blue plan and coordinate?
Something Blue specializes in milestone events, including weddings, reunions, anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, religious rites of passage, corporate celebrations and more. If you have a reason to celebrate, your event is a milestone event.

When do I need to reserve your services?
The best advice is to begin as soon as possible. Popular dates - especially May through October – can fill up as far ahead as a year in advance. To help you explore your planning and coordination options, Something Blue offers a free initial meeting.  Please contact Sally at 804.909.1202 or sally@somethingblueva.com as early as possible in your planning process to set an appointment.
