I can conjure up just about any program, give it a fancy name and tell you this is what you need. Bottom line, I know you don’t need the basic items that 99% of our industry offers.

I can say the “Full Coordination” program is the “soup to nuts” premier, most hands on blah blah blah…If you would have asked me this 10+ years ago, I would agree this was the industry standard of what “Full” means.

Try asking the same question now, my answer is completely different.

Honestly, you’re better off having a consultation that you don’t invest in. We generally allow for an hour at n/c to you. We all offer this for the majority of queries regarding a special event.

What happens during that hour is what makes us different. I don’t ask the typical questions and I most likely will not show you the typical wedding. You’re not typical. I don’t know you and you don’t know me. Seeing my “skillset” on “Whose Wedding” on Style TV doesn’t give my organization the justice it deserves.

You actually need to meet us. In fact, I suggest you meet with any planner or designer before you even discuss the fee. The fee is relative regardless as you have needs and wants.

The financial investment is certainly something that needs to be discussed at some point during the beginning stages. I have tried until I’m blue in the face to stop a prospective client from buying a gown or etc before sitting down with a plan. I dislike being the one that shows you on my budget spreadsheet what you will now be able to afford due to your families offering what they have allowed as a budget. This is after you paid for the dress. The last thing I want to hear is that you had to charge a gown…Especially one that is at least 1/3 of your budget! Girls, I’m high maintenance, I so get it and I am right there with you when you see a gown that’s “the one”.

I want you to have the gown too! I know Klenifeld’s

Guess what? If I was with you since the very beginning, I may have found someone who could help you afford the gown or something similar.

Ok, so now that I told you I don’t really have set packages anymore, you’re going to ask what the programs are, right? Now we’re talking!

Some party-event programs are typical with the basics of what you need to have a ceremony-reception. They can include all, most or some and an extra menu of the “fixins” to make it the most fabulous soiree of all times.
However, the info included is different for all. Unless you have a twin sister, it’s going to be different for one VERY important reason. You are different and you deserve to be treated as an individual with needs I’m happy to provide this in a proposal format once we meet. But I cannot list the various programs when I have not met you. You have my personal “promise” you won’t waste anyone’s time if you decide a company is not right for you. Don’t allow for someone to scare you into signing the first time you meet. That’s not a deal I recommend you “jump” into.

We work with some of the best venues in New York Metro area.

If they offered a more intense financial worth in the beginning and tell you this is special “just for you”, when you go home and they try to catch you before you touch the door offering a “I really like you & my boss loves you too, heck add my grandmother in Russia “So here’s the best price”.

GIRLS YOU BEST RUN! Run out that door and don’t look back. Why? Because they told you when you first arrived this was “made and discounted” just for you…So why is it not now 35% less than what might have been quoted earlier? Yes, this makes perfect sense, doesn’t it ?

Full Service-Partial-Month of –Design, Pampered Diva, Goddess of all Goddesses and etc..So many titles and so little time…Maybe you just need someone to be there on that one special day…It’s not really just for the day, you just see what we have worked for at least 8 hours at your event. You won’t see what we worked on prior to your “big” day. It takes work, patience and great organization skills to take over what you did on your own. You cannot say my thinking Is wrong. It’s just not that simple and I wish it was. As a “full service” organization we do offer all services, some or a mixture of the 20+ areas one could assist with. Our roster has some of the best vendors and venues in New York-New Jersey.

We only recommend those we have used, work well with and know will work with you based on your budget, personality and more… The question is, how much help do you “really” need? Why invest in a package or program when you many use 75% of it? Let’s make a “Blue-Print” together…Let’s decide as a” team” what is of benefit and what is a waste…If you cannot decide, let us help you make that decision. Those who promote what you have already planned or tell you it’s a fixed program take it or leave it, I say “Leave it”. Unless you feel this incredible passion for the planner you meet. That’s a tough one as just because you have a stellar meeting means absolutely nothing when it’s down to the wire.

After 1400+ weddings, numerous parties & events in the Metro NYC area, I have lists of event services that are nothing less than fabulous and Glam. We are always going to add new ones to the “list of skillset” everyday. Maybe today, I might learn something you have not thought of…and when we speak, this is all that you need and had no clue you did.
At least you will know what options you have and not a plethora of typical “items” included.

Did I mention that even if you chose the same program as last week’s event at the best venue in New York, you’re still going to have a different plan? No two events are ever alike. It’s impossible to have identical “everything “they” had”, for any portion of the event, even with the same vendors.

There is no such thing as the identical event. Why would you want someone else’s idea or concept anyway? You need to show your guests who you really are. Yes, flaws and all… (I despise the word flaw too, but let’s be honest, it’s true). I can personally relate to wanting my own celebrations to be stress free and simple. More than anything, I want to enjoy myself. It’s a fabulous and true “fact” that we have control over whom we “choose” to share our information with. At Samantha Goldberg and Co, we ensure you are protected from those who want details about your special day.

We have worked with various companies, celebs and more listed here
(http://samanthagoldberg.com/Our-Mission-and-Clients.html) .If you want to see more, I have hundreds of photography books, DVD’s, letters. Chocolate etc… Just ask. I have one simple ask…Come in with EVERY question. No question is ever stupid, most women have not been dreaming of this day since they came out of the womb and I personally was not one of them either. If you forget to ask something, just email or call. You need to make this decision on comfort level; I want to make sure you have it BEFORE we sign the agreement. I don’t and will not make promises I cannot keep, that should be first on your list for anyone you meet!
