the details
-
What if we haven't decided on a wedding date yet?Perfect! It's actually better to hire a planner at the very beginning stages of your wedding planning. That way we can help you find the best venue options and determine the perfect wedding date for you taking into account your budget, style, and location.
-
What if we've already booked our wedding venue?Not a problem! You'll receive a deduction from your planning package and even an extra discount if you've booked with one of our preferred venues!
-
We are an LGBTQIA+ couple needing to book inclusive vendors, can you help?Yes! It's sad that this is still something that the LGBTQIA+ community has to consider when planning their wedding, but we are here for you! It's important that you feel comfortable, supported, and safe at your wedding. Our vendor list is solely comprised of inclusive vendors and our team is extensively trained in LGBTQIA+ inclusivity. We use only gender neutral verbiage throughout the planning process, we reiterate your preferred pronouns to your vendors, and we are ready to give out some choice words to anyone who has anything negative to say about it!
-
What is your planning package pricing?Package pricing varies based on your wedding details and needs. Schedule a free consultation to get a personalized proposal.
-
Do you offer day-of coordination?We do not offer a day-of coordination package. Providing day-of or month-of services do not allow essential time for us to review your wedding details, create your timeline, meet your vendors, and adjust any errors that may have been made during the planning process. We prefer to be alongside our couples from the very beginning. Instead, we offer the same full service planning package but deduct any services you may have already handled such as venue booking and wedding website creation. If you still prefer to manage your own wedding planning process, we do offer a Remote Wedding Consultant service as an alternative to our full planning package that allows you to have full control over your wedding planning but also have the benefit of guidance from a wedding pro.
