Hello knotties! Never posted before, but I've been lurking. I've started my planning process, and I know now that I absolutely want to hire a wedding planner for partial planning services. I'm between hiring Sally (Monarch Events) vs. Lorie Speich (A Splendid Event) since they're the same price range for about the same services. I'm wondering if anyone else has looked into these two planners and if they went for one of them and why/why not. They both have their pros and cons, and I connected with both equally. Alternatively, if anyone used someone within the same price range, I'd love suggestions as well. Thanks in advance!
