How did you get started in wedding planning?

19 years ago I assisted my cousin in planning her wedding. I was hooked! I had no idea what a wedding planner was at the time so I began to research the industry. Ten years ago February 5, I started Andria Lewis Events full-time. We are a planning an anniversary bash for April of this year.

What is your favorite part of planning a wedding?

I love the design and creative part of the process. Taking my couples’ ideas and wants and bringing them to life is definitely a high.

How would you describe your stye in just a few words?

Polished. Curated. Sophisticated.

What makes your service unique?

We take our clients weddings to the next level. There are always elements present that you may not see in pictures that make it a truly personalized event. We take pride in that none of our weddings look alike.

Why should brides hire you?

This is a question that I hear often. I don’t know that couples (we don’t work with only brides so we don’t say that) *should* hire us. I will say that most of our couples hire us not because they don’t know what to do. They hire us because they don’t have time to do it. My couples have a fabulous sense of style but they also have busy careers. We are the bridge between what they want and actually getting it done.

What’s your favorite part of a wedding?

Seeing my girl walk down the aisle to her love.

What’s your current favorite color combination?

I don’t have a favorite combination, but I do like going against the grain. I like doing this differently and with a freshness.

What can couples do to prepare to get the best of your services?

All couples have to do is call us to get the best of our services!

What’s your process? What can couples expect on the day?

We offer full-planning and design only for couples. That means we design every inch of the wedding from wedding party attire to stationery to lighting (produced by the lighting company) to centerpieces to ensure the entire day flows for our couples. We accept a limited number of Month Of weddings each year and those can be booked within 90 days of the wedding. Our couples can expect a smoothly executed day and a fantastic party! We are not only great at planning and designing weddings, we know how to plan a PAR-TAY! Not everyone can wrap all these into one night. We have mastered it.

Do you work alone or do you have other planners that handle weddings?

Currently, I work with our couples on planning and design and my associate planners will assist me the day of the wedding.  The associate planners produce all Month Of weddings as lead coordinators.

What tips can you give brides and grooms currently planning a wedding?

Don’t run out and book a venue before you sit down and set a definite budget. Know where every dollar is coming from with certainty. Also, they need to begin to save (if funds are not already saved). Don’t wait until you receive an invoice to save to pay that invoice. The minute you set a date, begin to put away funds for the wedding so when an invoice comes, you are ready to pay for it. While weddings are a celebration of a new marriage, there is business attached to it. The business has to be taken care of.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Have fun! This is one of the most wonderful times of your lives. Take it all in and enjoy the process. Society has told us that weddings have to be stressful. That is simply not true. Focus on each other and plan your first major party together with smiles on your faces and a giddiness in your hearts.
