Thanks for coming. EJP Events is a wedding coordinating and event planning firm based in Portland, Oregon.
The mission of the Portland Wedding Coordinator blog is to provide original content that echoes the philosophy of EJP Events when planning a Portland or Pacific Northwest wedding. We believe in authenticity, finding value, creating the “wow”, and in making guests happy. We believe in keeping stress off the wedding couple, wedding party, hosts/family and everyone in general when planning a wedding. We believe that there doesn’t have to be a bunch of drama when planning a wedding, and that logic and common sense can go hand in hand with creativity and artistry. We believe that beautiful experiences don’t have to be overly lavish or wasteful. We believe that there is an important cultural place for the life landmark that is a wedding, and it can be a lovely jumping-off point and statement for everything that is to come for a married couple. If you agree with our beliefs, and you want your wedding experience to be well-thought-out and mindfully planned, then welcome to our community of readers!
With these points in mind, we plan to:
- bring you practical advice that will help make planning a wedding easy
- reveal planning tips and secrets that most people don’t consider
- bring the idea of a wedding into perspective
- break down myths and outdated etiquette to help the modern couple
- share special touches and ideas that can make your Portland or Pacific Northwest wedding special, or which can bring a touch of Portland to your wedding
- report content that represents an intelligent balance between the impractical “Wedding Porn” and the extremely-dry “bridal education” of other wedding blogs
- offer advice for getting the most value out of your wedding
- discuss ideas that emphasize quality, value, and great service
Some things we WON’T try to do:
- Regurgitate content from other blogs and twitter just to have something to post every day. Writing original content takes time, and so does running a business.
- Fawn over celebrity weddings for no reason. Especially those individuals whose celebrated status is, well, questionable. However, if a wedding is stylish and fits in with our ethos, we won’t overlook it just because it’s also Page Six-worthy!
- Blindly follow trends and traditions without examining the motivation or history behind them
- Make you feel bad or left out for not buying the latest, greatest wedding gadget or product or add-on.
- Finally, we’ll never pump up a product for pay. Product or vendor reviews on our site will occur independently, without compensation or kickbacks.
