Full-Service Wedding Planner

Starting at $9,500
 

Full Wedding Planning is designed for couples who want an experienced planner to build the planning foundation, lead the process, and professionally manage every stage of the wedding.
 

Whether you have not yet selected a venue or have only completed one or two initial decisions, we’ll help establish the budget, create the planning roadmap, assemble the vendor team, manage the logistics, and keep every detail moving forward.
 

You will still be included in every meaningful decision, but you will not be responsible for figuring out what happens next, researching every option, or keeping the entire planning process on track.
 

We lead the process. You make informed decisions and enjoy your engagement.

Full Planning begins with the foundation.
 

Before contracts are signed and the budget is committed, we help you understand your priorities, establish a realistic plan, and make strategic decisions that support the complete wedding.
 

Instead of reacting to decisions after they have already been made, we help shape them from the beginning.

 

Is Full Planning Right for You?

 

Full Wedding Planning may be the right fit if you:

• Are newly engaged or still in the early stages of planning

• Have not yet selected a venue

• Have secured a venue but still need to build most of the vendor team

• Need help establishing a realistic budget

• Do not have time to research, contact, and compare vendors

• Want thoughtfully narrowed recommendations instead of endless options

• Want someone to proactively manage deadlines and next steps

• Need support with guest accommodations, transportation, and logistics

• Want one experienced planner overseeing the full process

• Want to enjoy your engagement without wedding planning becoming another full-time job
