Inside the Wedding Planner's White Book

A new addition to our blog is "Inside the Wedding Planner's White Book". Here we will share with you the thoughts of some of our most respected vendors so you can hear from them on a personal level. Our inspiration for this feature comes from the show, "Inside the Actor's Studio" hosted by James Lipton on Bravo TV. We love getting to know and understand the drive and motivation of the actors. Plus, we always anticipate the infamous questionnaire by Bernard Pivot that concludes each interview. So we decided to tailor our interview the same way and conclude our interview with the ten questions! Each week we will interview our prospective vendor of the week and post their answers. This week will be Cindy Stonehouse with Stonehouse Events & More, Inc.!

What do you love most about weddings? Everything! I love watching each couple embark on this journey and see their smiling faces on the wedding day; I feel so honored to be apart of such a magical moment

How do you continue to challenge yourself in the industry? I am always learning and open to ideas that may come, I like to think of myself as the "out of the box" planner. Plus, each couple brings their own uniqueness to every wedding and I draw from that to keep myself inspired

What do you think is the most important thing each couple that works with you needs to know? Each couple that I work with needs to know that their wedding is as important to me as it is to them and I will go above and beyond for them!

The famous Bernard Pivot questionnaire:

  1. What is your favorite word? Faith
  2. What is your least favorite word? can't
  3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Love
  4. What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally? greed, selfishness
  5. What sound or noise do you love? peaceful silence and my children's laughter
  6. What sound or noise do you hate? scraping a knife/fork on your plate, etc.
  7. What is your favorite curse word? f***, as a noun, verb, adjective
  8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? professional dancer
  9. What profession would you not like to do? anything that involves sharks
  10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Welcome home my loving and faithful servant
