Engagement Season is among us!
Congratulations to all of the newly engaged couples out there!
With 40% of couples getting engaged between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, I think it’s a great time to chat about what comes next! We’re Engaged, Now What?!
First, Enjoy it! People are going to be asking you a lot of questions, like “when are you getting married?” and “where are you getting married?” It’s ok to not have an answer just yet and let them know, you’re enjoying being engaged and will share details soon.

The next thing, once you want to start getting into your planning process, is to really think about what you want. Who do you want to be there? How much money would you like to spend? I think those are the two key points needed when you start to plan your wedding. Your budget and your guest count are going to help narrow down things like: your venue, your caterer, and the experience of the day.
At Ryann Kristena Events, we offer a “We’re Engaged, Now What?!” zoom consultation, for up to 30 minutes. If you would like some guidance, or an impartial party to go over some of these details with, we are here for you!
We do believe hiring a wedding planner earlier in your planning process will save you time and stress! In our opinion, an Event Management/Day-of Coordination package is absolutely necessary! You don’t want to have your bridal party or family worried about setting up your decor while trying to get ready and be in your photos. You also probably don’t want your friends and family to have to worry about packing it all up for you at the end of the evening, right? We want everyone to enjoy this wonderful party you spent so much time working on!

If you decide to book a “We’re Engaged, Now What?!” consultation with us, we require no further commitment! If you do like us and want to book with us, the cost of the consult will go towards whichever package you choose.
To recap, what should we do first when we get engaged? Enjoy it! Figure out your guest list and your budget. Schedule a consult with us, or any planner, and enjoy the process of planning your wedding!
