Should any issues arise, they will be solved seamlessly. Having a planner means experiencing your wedding day to the fullest!
We offer Month of Coordination packages, which consists of 50 hours of planning. This is our “Day of “ service! This package includes pre-planning tools designed by our team to help keep you on track, our preferred vendor list, our team communicating with and organizing your vendors, creating a master contact list and detailed timeline of your wedding day, running your rehearsal (if you wish) and on-site coordination of your day from start to finish. So while we are there on the day as well, our Month of Coordination package offers you so much more!
We work with our couples to design a budget that reflects their priorities.

We are also always looking for new and exciting venues to share with our couples. If you have a venue that we haven’t been to, we are more than happy to do a site visit for you.
The answer to this question is as individual as each couple we work with. We assist by providing budget examples, and real wedding pictures to determine your general investment level.We then work with you to discover your top priorities and style.
We want to help our couples with their decor aspirations and be realistic with their budget. When you see a stunning photo on Instagram/Pinterest, what you are not seeing is the decor consults, multiple proposals, labor costs, delivery charges, and all other time and work that goes into that single shot. We work with our couples to take their design visions and make something beautiful that stays within their desired investment level.
We have a list of preferred, expert local vendors ( from photographers to salon services to entertainment and everything in between) that we are more than happy to share with our clients. However, we do not limit our couples on who they work with. We will assist you in finding the perfect vendor for you, even if that means we haven’t worked with them previously and guide you through the booking process.
