How has running your website differed from your expectations?
I check my stats constantly. Where are the hits coming from.

I will continue to have it run as far as I can.
What do you like the most about being a Wedding and Event Planner?
I love the stress free look a couple has during the planning process and the day of the wedding. The stress free look of the clients, ensures me that I've done my job as a wedding planner and that they are happy from a job well done.
