Welcome,

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I thought I’d give you a little background on myself and share with you  why you can trust me to help you plan the wedding of your dreams.

I’m sure not “just a bride” that was married a year or two ago trying to sell you a bill of goods on how “she” planned her wedding and saved a bundle, and wants to sell you her magic formula!

I’ve really been there, done that and have helped plan amazing weddings for fabulous brides across the nation!  I really am a “Wedding Planner” and didn’t just buy a certificate for a couple hundred dollars.

I created the franchise, wrote the books, taught the classes, and created the certification for “An International World of Weddings  – Certified Bridal Consultants.”  I did this in 1983!  Our consultants/franchises ALL paid $22,000 to learn my system!  So trust me, I really do know how to help you plan the wedding you always dreamed of – at a price you truly can afford.

As the Franchisor in 1983 of An International World of Weddings, Inc., I taught and wrote the manuals for planning traditional Christian weddings as well as for Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish and Moslem weddings. In fact, planning International weddings was one of my favorite pastimes and I loved teaching bridal consultants and wedding planners how to plan and successfully fulfill the wedding needs of all their brides!

A LOT of money is, and has been, made in the wedding industry, but my book shows you how to keep that money in YOUR pocket, instead of giving it to your wedding planner and related wedding vendors (e.g., caterers, cake decorators, bridal shops, photographers, florists). You can have a wonderful wedding and save thousands by using just a few of the ideas in my book.  Of course, even if you hire a wonderful planner/consultant, you will still need a great place to keep all your details!  Our Wedding Wish Book and Keepsake Planner is just that book!

Of course, if you’re having such a fabulous time creating your wedding, and think you might want to plan others as a career, becoming  a wedding planner yourself, you could pre-register for our upcoming classes in Las Vegas in the Spring of 2010.  I wrote and teach the Planning “HER” Wedding® – 9 volume course over a period of three full days, with the basic course beginning at $2,995.  Why, with all the money I can save you while planning your own, I could teach you how to create exquisite weddings for your family and friends, becoming a “Certified Consultant” yourself!

A New Career!  How much can you make as a wedding planner?  I charge $1500 upfront, plus $175 an hour after the first eight hours. So yes, there is a lot of money to be made in the wedding industry!

So, are these good enough reasons to believe I know what I am talking about?

PLANNING A MILLION DOLLAR WEDDING

In 1985, the Robb Report Magazine asked me to share my expertise for planning an “over the top” wedding, so I put together the plan for an Antebellum / Mississippi Queen wedding costing over $977,000! That’s right – I wrote the plan for a MILLION DOLLAR wedding!  And that was nearly 30 years ago! Imagine what that wedding would cost in today’s dollars!

TRENDSETTER OF THE YEAR

In 2000, I was surprised as one of Oprah’s Angels for co-founding a non-profit breast cancer organization, the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation and creating Brides Against Breast Cancer campaigns across the nation!   And in 2005, my daughter Anna Orr and I were named two of the 25 Trendsetters of the Year in Modern Bride Magazine.

Retired?  Well, sorta!  Today, I spend my days researching and writing on several of my favorite subjects! Weddings being my first love! |

By now you might wonder why I thought you should have a little background regarding my credentials and why you should buy MY book instead of another you have looked at while surfing today … I have to tell you that I have scoured the internet looking at all the “ways to save money” on your wedding – and couldn’t believe some of the things I have seen! Some of the nonsense out there is absolutely unbelievable.

I’m certainly not going to tell you that there aren’t any “other” good books out there for planning your wonderful wedding or for saving a ton of money, but I can tell you that I haven’t found anyone with my background willing to give you an iron-clad, 60 day, 100% money back guarantee REGARDLESS HOW MUCH YOU SAVE, if you aren’t completely satisfied with any of my wedding books.

Happy Wedding Planning – Be Blessed!
