Need to dress up your wedding ceremo- ny and reception but are discouraged because of the logistics of transport- ing everything from your home to the Island? Contact U.P. NORTH RENTAL, who can rent to you, deliver and set- up all the extras to dress up the look of your wedding.

Planning your Wedding S ome couples can picture exactly what kind of wed- ding they want, and others
are huge time savings when a wed- ding coordinator takes on the admin- istrative tasks such as coordinating schedules, meeting with vendors and confirming all the elements and timetables of the day. A coordinator will closely follow along the entire day to ensure perfect staging of your dream wedding. Couples can actual- ly save money because coordinators know best how to allocate your bud- get, what costly items to avoid and give ideas and realistic suggestions to save you money. Professional wedding coordinator Jazell Raycraft of FOR THE LOVE OF MACKINAC! says, "I like to talk with the couple about the entire wedding day to get a feel about them before I make any vendor referrals. That way I am able to tailor the vendors to suit their needs, preferences, and budget." With a coordinator involved, the bride and groom can relax and simply be guests at their own wedding. "On the day of the wedding I make sure that everyone is in their place and everything is where it needs to
be. I am in constant contact with the vendors. This way the couple and her families won't have to deal with any last minute issues," explains Jazell. Do yourself a favor and talk to a wed- ding expert. Jazell says, "It's absolute- ly the best wedding gift you can give yoursel. It's the gift of peace of mind." Call for more details at 906-287-1054.

Thank You Letters
look at hundreds of wedding samples and become overwhelmed with every decision involved. Most couples fall somewhere in between. But every- one ultimately needs help planning their wedding. No matter what kind of bride you are, there's no question, a wedding coordinator or consultant can help streamline the process and make sure your wedding is everything you dreamed it would be. Most hotels provide wedding coordi- nators, but they typically only handle decisions regarding setup, food and beverages at the hotel. You need a true event coordinator to help guide you through the entire process and coordinate details with your vendors. When you secure the services of a local wedding coordinator, wonder- ful things begin to happen. Someone who is familiar with the Island logis- tics and with local vendors can share insightful information, saving you countless hours of research. There
