Vendor of the Week: It's A Shore Thing

Well, I’m quite excited to introduce you all to this week’s Vendor of the Week… It’s A Shore Thing! I must say, their name is quite fitting- these lovely wedding planners are located in the Florida panhandle. The dynamic duo of It’s A Shore Thing is also known as “The Jenns” (yes, both of their names are Jenn), and they have planned some fabulous weddings- some of which have even been featured here on ELD! These two girls are also just as fabulous as the weddings they plan- you should definitely get to know them a bit more…

Why do you see yourself as being Modern, Vintage, Classic, or Eclectic?

There’s nothing more exciting or enticing to us than putting a personal twist on a new trend! We take a bride’s compilation of ideas … and we “shake ‘em up” and transform them from an inspiration to an exceptional event! We’re like chameleons – we adapt ourselves to fit the bride’s style.

What is your favorite wedding detail you’ve ever seen or created?

We really get to know our clients – and some of their “guilty pleasures” – in order to make the event totally “them”. We recently learned of our bride’s most guilty pleasure being Dunkin’ Donuts coffee {“iced, no whip!”}, and, of course, donuts. We convinced the groom to surprise his bride with her very own Dunkin’ Donuts Self-Serve Coffee Bar {complete with the orange & pink DD branding!} at their reception: 2 single-serve coffee machines, plenty of “adult-coffee-accoutrements”, DD cups, and, last but certainly not least, a whole sea of DD ‘Munchkins’ for guests to nosh on and enjoy later in the evening. It was a HUGE hit and so fun!

What is your favorite store or brand?

Well …. When it really comes down to it, we have what some may consider “a bit of a shopping problem” … So, that’s a bit of a loaded question – but one we’re always happy to answer over coffee, at Starbucks {conveniently located in the mall!}. The good news is that we’re ALWAYS on the up-and-up with the latest trends! :)

What advice do you have for a newly engaged bride?

Ok, :::donning our serious, business hats::: Hire a reputable wedding planner that you trust! Of course we’re somewhat biased, but it really will save you so much time, energy, stress {and, believe it or not, even money in many cases} in the end. By hiring a planner who’s experienced in the industry, and that has strong relationships with other wedding professionals in the area – you’re essentially securing peace of mind that: a) all of the “behind-the-scenes” details are being handled on your behalf; b) your team has been put together based on your needs; and, c) you’ll truly be able to enjoy and remember your wedding day! We take ownership and live up to our promise to the bride to “Be a guest at your own wedding.”

What is your favorite thing about weddings?

Hands down, the actual day itself. Within about eight hours time, all 240+ hours of planning come together – the transformation from “inspiration to right-before-your-eyes actuality” is immensely rewarding. Witnessing a bride who’s undoubtedly enjoying – rather than directing – her day is not only the service we promise, but the service we deliver. {We’re kinda like superheroes in that regard.} ;)

What qualities do you possess that enable you to work well with brides and grooms?

As a team, the Dynamic Jen duo {note the superhero reference}, work together and bounce ideas off one another to create amazing events.

Terms used to describe The Jens include, but are not limited to:

Organized {our wedding day itinerary keeps it all together}
Loving, but firm {we crack the whip upon request}
FUN {no, really, we’re fun}
Creative {think outside the box!}
Dependable {we WILL get it done}
Attentive {you talk, we listen … then we make it happen}
Calming {we have an innate ability to de-stress a situation}
Bubbly {but not ditzy}

What steps do you take to ensure that your clients will have amazing wedding days when working with you?

Cross-referencing between our team of wedding professionals, and keeping organized and abreast of every detail has earned us our reputation for creating flawless events. The rest – well, that’s top-secret information. ;)
