Wedding Essentials Workshops:
This is what workshop participants
are saying:
"Being a man, and
venturing into what has generally been a ladies
world, had me a little apprehensive. But I had
no reason to be, as Magna was an excellent
instructor and made sure I felt at ease and that I
understood everything that she was teaching.
She was very easy to listen to, yet got her point
across flawlessly. She was very knowledgeable
in all aspects of the wedding industry and I would
gladly go back again for a refresher course in a
couple of years time."
Alan, AJDJ

best course I could ever have invested in. The

Wedding Essentials Workbook:
“I am a very organized person and didn't think I'd need a wedding
planner. I soon found out that I had too many bits
of info in too many spots (some at work, some on
post it notes, some bookmarked on the internet, and
some on my email accounts). I also noticed that it
was easy to forget about certain tasks if I didn't
have a way to track them. The Wedding Essentials
Workbook is more than helpful…it’s crucial to
planning a peaceful and complete wedding, more than
I ever would have thought.
The page protectors are great for holding menus,
price lists, ideas from magazines, dress ideas,
sketches, receipts and those never ending scraps of
paper with names and phone numbers on them. There
is lots of room to write down all this information
as there are many blank or lined pages for recording
information.
I'm also finding that the workbook motivates me to
be more organized and to follow up with vendors in a
more timely manner…but not in a nagging way, in an
inspiring way.
The
Wedding Essentials Workbook is full of little ideas
that generate more wonderful ideas to simplify or
glorify my big day…I am thankful to be using this as
part of my wedding planning experience. You will be
glad you included it in your plans.”

I am always
skeptical of people who call themselves an
expert at anything, but in getting to know
Magna Goerke, I've realized that it is all
of the people she serves who give her the
title, “Do-It-Yourself Wedding Expert.”
Recently I purchased one of Magna's Wedding
Planners for my cousin who had only 11 weeks
to plan her giant, traditional Italian
wedding due to the terminal illness of her
father. With Magna's planner, and the offer
for advice and connections to any of the
local services she might need, Nancy was
able to calm down, put priorities into
perspective and not feel overwhelmed by all
the things that needed to be done. She was
able to enjoy events like her dress fittings
and bridal shower and spend lots of time
with her father, because she knew exactly
what needed to be done and when.
