2009 Wedding Planning

CONGRATULATIONS! to all of you who got or are getting engaged over the holidays.

Once it has taken hold that you have a wedding to plan, it may feel overwhelming.

I've put together a 2-3 hr. (depending on how many questions you have) session where I help couples get a good start with their planning. In this session, we'll cover just how to start; how to find good vendors; what type of wedding do you want; what about the budget?

During this session, you might find you'd rather have a coordinator help take the stress/burden of planning and producing your wedding off you! I can help you with this decision as well.

The whole idea is to help you feel more comfortable when meeting with vendors and what to expect.

Please give me a call at 303-779-0395 or email me at tanya@weddingsbytanya.com with any questions or to schedule a session.

Check out my website www.weddingsbytanya.com for addional information about me and my services.

Also, I'll be doing an interview on the Morning Show on KEZW 1430 AM, on January 30, 2009, at 7:45 am. Tune in and learn about my Wedding Planning Guide, A Bride's Workbook!

In the meantime, Wishing you all a Very HAPPY NEW YEAR and Happy Wedding Planning!

Weddings, the Economy and Budgets




First let me, along with my mascots, Sandy and Remus, wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May you enjoy a beautiful, peaceful time with your families and loved ones.
For those of you who will be getting engaged, remember to enjoy your engagement for a bit before starting on the road to planning your wedding. When you are ready to start planning your wedding, start with a good coordinator. They will save you a lot of time (and we all know that time is money)!

The economy hasn't been to kind to anyone this year and to help accommodate those planning weddings, I'm offering payment plans for any of my packages. There is no interest charged. This allows you to spread out your payments so you can select the services that you need and not settle for just any package. Hopefully this will help your budgets.

To discuss this option, please email me at tanya@weddingsbytanya or call me at 303-779-0395. Remember, I'm happy to travel anywhere to help make your day special and worry free.

For those of you, who may be out of the country, but are interested in an American style wedding, I'm also happy to assist you.

I'm predicting that destination/planned elopements will be popular in 2009, mainly because the cost and pressure of planning a full wedding can be eliminated. Imagine, coming to Colorado to the beautiful mountains, getting married and spending 2-4 days in a four star resort and still going home with money in your pocket. This is doable with a planned elopement. Let me take care of all the details for you.

For all you "soon to be grooms" if you don't propose over the holidays and are looking for the right time and place, keep me in mind. My Silver Rose Proposal package is one you might consider to help you come up with just the right moment and way to pop that all important question.

Again, Wishing you all the best and blessings of the Holiday Season!

Wedding Budget


MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you!


It's the season when many couples choose to get engaged and start planning their weddings for 2009!


If you are looking for a great gift for your fiancee, daughter, friend or anyone who is getting married then you need WEDDING PLANNING GUIDE, A Bride's Workbook. This is one of the easiest guides available to help you with your planning. It will take you start to finish with ease. Of course, if you decide it's over-whelming, then give me a call and I'll be happy to pick up where you leave off :-) You can order this workbook through www.weddingsbytanya.com.


This year, the economy hasn't been very kind to any of us. With this in mind, set a reasonable budget for yourself when planning your wedding. The last thing you want is to start married life in debt! Remember, if you can't afford the big wedding, small, intimate weddings (such as planned elopements) can be done now then have the big, elaborate one on your fifth or tenth wedding anniversary.
One thing a wedding coordinator will help with is to keep you inside your budget. Talk things over with them before buying things that may be a waste of your money. Try to purchase items you'll be able to use in your new home. For example, toasting flutes to match your crystal.
2009 should hold a brighter outlook for everyone and I certainly wish this for you and yours. Thank you for reading my blog and please, if you ever have questions or need help, email me at tanya@weddingsbytanya.com or call 303-779-0395.
Wishing you and yours a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
