My Wedding Concierge


For the "Newly Engaged" or the "Not so Newly Engaged"...If your looking for some serious help planning one of the most special days of your life....
This little company featured on the Sage Wedding Pros website this morning is very impressive: My Wedding Concierge. This company offers a wedding
planning tool for engaged couples. What makes this site so different? It gives couples the opportunity to sort and organize all of their favorite wedding vendors, design ideas, and wedding blogs. They also have a super-snazzy iPhone app. Wall Street Journal did a story this week on the best wedding planning apps out there and praised this app for the ability to filter through the massive amounts of information on wedding blogs. And, if you tweet with co-owner Phyllis Cheung you already know that she is kind and good-hearted, always “paying it forward” with tweets.
