my Kate Parker Wedding Educates is teaming up with Madeleine’s Daughter to host an event for couples getting married to learn about different aspects of a wedding from local wedding experts.  Unlike the stress of bridal shows, this event is to release that stress by bringing us any questions that you have about your own planning experience to the table for our wedding experts to help answer and guide you through.

Each presenter will touch on topics specific to their expertise along with any demonstrations that my be helpful to you.  Then by having a wedding planner joining us, the planner will be able to answer any questions that you have about your own wedding planning.

So if you are in the Portsmouth NH area, we’d love for you to join so here are some details:
