    I recently had the opportunity to shoot a promotional video for Whitney Wing Drake, owner and lead coordinator of Wish Wonder Dream Bridal Consultants.  The range of topics covered her beginnings as an event planner, to coming trends, along with things you should expect from a bridal consultant.  As coordinators go, Whitney is at the top of her game.  She discovered us when we recorded her own wedding a few years ago, and I can vouch for the fact that she sits in on meetings with the vendors she refers.

    A good coordinator can help point you toward the right vendors, but it’s important that they’re not getting any kind of kick-back from that vendor.  We certainly do not participate in that sort of thing.  In fact, I have left several networking groups by virtue of the fact that I was not confident referring vendors based solely on group membership.  Good coordinators like Whitney earn my recommendation because they do their homework.  It’s one thing to take care of business on the day of the event, but it’s just as important to keep an eye on industry trends and players.  When I get a call on a weeknight from a coordinator with questions about my field, it tells me that they actually care.  Wish Wonder Dream is one of those companies, and that’s why you’ll find them on my links page.
