The sooner the better! You can even book planning services before you have an official date so that we can help you every step of the way, including finding your perfect wedding location. Plus, the sooner you book, the longer you have access to our planning tools!

To reserve your date, we'll need a contract as well as a deposit. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let us know!  

This one's a no brainer... so you don't have to stress! Did you know that one of the biggest regrets brides & grooms have post-wedding is not hiring a planner or day of coordinator? Having a coordinator or planner means being able to relax and enjoy your wedding day while knowing that everything is taken care of. It might sound fun to get all your girls together and do the setup together in the morning but trust me - it's not! Let someone else do the hard work and you be the guest of honor! Another great reason to hire a planner? While yes there is the added cost, typically your planner can actually save you money in other places and their experience and knowledge is priceless!

The ultimate question, right? This number can vary based on SO many factors such as guest count, location, vendors chosen, specific details and so much more. Currently, the average spend of our clients tends to begin around $450 per person for the core components. Creating a realistic budget for your individual wedding needs is the first thing we work on with full service planning and I'll always be honest & realistic with you about costs.
