Why Hire the MPE team
Melanie Parent Events – Wedding Planner Winnipeg
1. This is more than our job, it’s our passion:
We love everything about the event and wedding planning process, and we aren’t afraid of the work that comes along with it. Planning a wedding takes a lot of time and effort…. so unless you’re willing to give up your social life to accomplish it, I suggest you hire our team! With our industry knowledge and expertise, we can make sure you enjoy the planning experience. Our team is always working, dreaming and crafting the perfect wedding on your behalf, so you can focus on everything else in your life. We plan weddings on a Full-Time basis, not only because we love to, but because that’s what it takes to get it done right.
2. We take on a limited number of events
At Melanie Parent Events we value our client and vendor relationships. For that reason, we only accept a limited number of events and weddings each year. We believe that every couple deserves personal and undivided attention. No one wants to be left waiting for answers and email responses. For this exact reason, we never overextend ourselves. We want to ensure we’re ready and available to you when you need us!
3. You need help figuring out the budget
The budget is a stressful topic for most couples. Allow us to help with budget allocation. Many couples tend to overspend because they think that’s the only way to get their dream wedding or they put the money in the wrong areas without even realizing it. As professionals, we can ensure you spend it in the places that get you the most bang for your buck. We hire vendors all the time, so we know where the deals are and what things really cost. In return you get trustworthy vendors, a gorgeous wedding, and peace of mind knowing our team arranged it all!
4. You need help to create your vision… ( or narrowing it down!)
Pinterest overwhelm is real and it can take over your life quickly! Not only can you go down a rabbit hole of inspiration, but before you know it you just pinned a $100,000 worth of ideas and your budget is $35,000…. oops… Now you have to spend another 4 hours starting from scratch… Who has that kind of time?! Nothing is worse than getting your heart set on something only to realize it’s not available in our market, or worse it costs three times more than you’re willing to spend! If you allow our team to take the lead, you will save time but you will also be able to get your dream wedding within your means.
5. Knowledge is power
Because we’ve gone through this process before (over 100 times), Melanie Parent Events has the vendor relationships and expert knowledge to make sure you’re working with the right people. We will make recommendations based on your budget and expectations while keeping your style and vision in mind. Don’t lose sleep over making sure you have all the details in place. Hand us the reins and enjoy the ride. With over 75 five-star google reviews we get you covered!
6. You aren’t “all about the details”
When planning a wedding it’s all in the details. If creating lists, organizing meetings and returning countless phone calls and emails don’t appeal to you, hire our team. Allow us to do the leg work, gather the information, quotes and details on your behalf. Regain your freedom and peace of mind knowing that industry experts are taking the lead while you make all the final decisions.
7.The average wedding takes a couple 250 hours to plan
Who has that kind of time between work, school, family, and friends? Wedding planning turns into an (unpaid) part-time job. Allow Melanie Parent Events to take the lead so you can make time for other important areas in your life. View our services and see how we can help you. Whether you want to be involved on daily tasks or you want to sit back and allow us to do it for you…. Working with our team is one way you can “have your cake and eat it too!” Check out over 75 five-star google reviews to see why people love working with us.
