Hey Jersey Bride! Welcome to the forum! A wedding coordinator is a great way to start! Like Yazmin mentioned, it is super important that you click with whoever you are working with! Skype is the easiest way to communicate and get a proper feel for the person in terms of personality, professionalism, and style. Experience is KEY, so make sure you choose someone that has been in the area some time and knows the ins and outs of doing business here. Make sure they have a professional website with lots of current examples of their work and current testimonials. If you have a chance to come down here and meet them in person, even better! They can also help you set up some site visits to narrow down your location choices. Happy Planning! Sofia Lori's Office Assistant
