I am getting married in Lake George in Oct 2010.  I think I would like someone, prob a coordinator/planner, to make sure everything runs smoothly that day.  Are you a planner? Do you know one? Any and all suggestions...Thanks!!

    Jennah, I highly recommend, and have hired Debbie McNairy from Lake George. We just wanted a "weekend of" person, and her proposal to us totally fit our needs (and budget). She has already helped us plan visits to meet our vendors (in December, when I can next be in LG) as well as plans to help with a number of things during the weekend of our wedding (evrything from set up/clean up to vendor timing to helping us with picking up stuff for our sunday brunch the next day!) Feel free to contact her (she is great at getting back on the phone OR email) and let her know that I sent you, if you dont mind. Her email is: debbie.mcnairy@yahoo.com www.debbiemcnairy.com I think she's wonderful. Lynnie

    Jennah, Im pretty sure that she creates each package individually, and so the price she has given us may be different than what she offers you depending on what you hope she might do. For us, it was everything from coordinating our site visits and vendor meetings (this year) to following up, organizing and helping with setup the from the thursday before our wedding (we have some event planned starting friday) though the wedding day itself, and a brunch the next day (for which she is going to pick up food and deliver it to the brunch location and help us set up, etc). I her proposal was $580.00 for all of that, and we thought it was a great deal, especially since we are planning from very far away.

    That is very reasonable!! I would need maybe slightly less than that, because almost all my vendors are taken care of! This sounds like a great idea. Thanks a bunch!
