FAQ's
How many members of AWA will be on-site on the wedding day?
On the day-of, AWA will have 3 coordinators to follow-up with all vendors, manage every possible problem that could occur and deploy the wedding program, ensuring everything goes as planned.
What are the strengths of AWA?
We pay attention to every detail of the wedding so that everybody can enjoy it to the fullest. Most importantly, we are an independent consultant. Hence, our recommendations are unbiased and are fully personalized.
How much time do I need to plan a wedding?
Local weddings can be prepared from 6 to 9 months while destination weddings require an extra time, from 9 to 12 months. There is more work that needs to be done including traveling, searching for ideas, noticing guests ahead of time, cooperating with the destination vendors and executing optimization.
How do I start preparing for my wedding?
Instead of focusing on the detailed work, take your time to visualize the bigger picture – your dream wedding, Think about the venue, style, colors, and activities. Talk to your partner about what you both value the most in your wedding. It will help you get in the right direction from the very first day.
How to set a reasonable budget for my wedding?
Every wedding is unique. Your wedding budget relies on all the factors of your dream wedding, from what you value the most to your least interest. For instance, some couples prioritize décor, while others prefer to invest more in catering for their guests. So, the first step that we suggest is to identify your maximum budget, how much you are willing to pay for everything.
Typically, food and beverage would take approximately 40% of the whole wedding expenses. And don’t forget to save 3-5% of the budget for the additional expenses. There’s always an additional cost from the planning process and you don’t want to cross your budget limit.
When is the best time to have an outdoor wedding in Santa Marta?
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta experiences two rainy seasons each year: the first from May to July and the second from September to November. Although Santa Marta’s climate is generally warm and humid year-round, the best time for outdoor weddings, with less rainfall and drier weather, is between December and April. If you dream of an outdoor wedding, these months are the ideal choice.
What is the role of the bride and groom in the wedding preparation process when having a wedding planner?
The time the couple needs to invest in planning will depend on the service package they choose. However, their most important task will be to review and make decisions based on AWA’s suggestions. Additionally, they will need to set a budget, write their vows, ensure both families respect the guest list, and choose the members of their wedding party.
