I cannot say enough about jennifer bergman weddings (wedding planning & design)and Pink Polka Design (design & stationary products). Both of these ladies are not only super cute & adorable in real life, but they are organized professionals in the wedding world.
Both Jennifer & Jenelle are highly sought after for their creative minds & ability to make a wedding something completely unique. They want every wedding to have a cohesive feeling down to every last detail, and they help couples represent themselves, and their unique love in their wedding details & decor. As someone who tries to photograph every couple as the true THEM, I love that these ladies also have this as a main goal in their decor, art & details.
I loved working along side these ladies! We have interviewed Jenelle in the past, and wanted to interview Jennifer in this blog post.
Enjoy!
Jennifer has an amazing ability to pull together her bride’s vision into a simply stunning & unique work of art!
Brides all have different budgets, can only high budget weddings afford a
wedding planner?Definitely not! Most planners offer a variety of packages at different price
points. For instance, if you need the most help with décor and pulling your
vision together, many planners offer décor/design packages created
specifically to focus on the aesthetics of your wedding. If you intend to do
most of the planning yourselves, it can be really beneficial to consult with
a planner at the beginning of your engagement to get you focused and on the
right track.
I would also strongly recommend budgeting for a wedding day or wedding month
coordinator. There are so many details and logistics to take care of leading
up to a wedding – not to mention the coordination required on the day
itself. You don’t want to burden yourselves, your mothers or your bridal
party with that task.
What do you think are the three most important qualities of a successful
wedding planner:Avoiding the obvious prerequisites (organization, attention to detail,
creativity), I’d have to say professionalism, style and composure.
How do you manage trust from your clients? After all it is the most
important day of their life.
I’m a good listener and I think my clients appreciate that. Weddings often
bring up emotions that can stretch beyond the event itself, and I’m an
outlet and a sounding board for many thoughts and expressions.

important day of their life.
What is the most special location that hosted one of your weddings?
To date, probably the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise – it’s wonderfully
magical there! I must say I’m really looking forward to a wedding next year
at Poets Cove Resort on Pender Island, B.C.
Tell us a difficult situation you have faced and how you got out of it.
Last summer there was a bad storm and the power went out during the wedding
reception. We rounded up candles and lanterns to distribute throughout the
venue so everyone could still see. Luckily it came back on within 30 minutes
or so and the party continued – the outage turned out to be a memorable part
of the evening!
The wedding day survival kit should include…
Pins (of all variety), double-sided tape, Band-aids, breath mints, bobby
pins, Tide-to-Go…we have a lot more items in our wedding day emergency
kits, but those are the most commonly used ones!
La Piazza Dasee did an amazing job on all of the florals.
I especially LOVED the boutineer that they created for the groom. It is just so awesome. (La Piazza Dasee)
Jenelle makes the most charming paper goods, including this unique seating chart.
Other Amazing Vendors:
Special Event Rentals is a wedding dream-land with pretty much anything under the sun that you could want or need!
La Piazza Dasee is hands down, one of my all time favorite florists. If you want a boring bouquet/centerpieces, that everyone else has, DON’T go here. If you want an amazing, jaw-dropping work of art that you will simply adore. Talk to James or Janine. I promise you, they will blow you away!!
