Month-of Coordination

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Wedding Day Coverage

The most important part - I’ll be the go-to person on your wedding day and ensure the day flows seamlessly from one activity to the next.

Timeline Creation

Let’s work together to plan your day with enough time to savor the small moments. Less rushing and more relaxing is the goal. If you already have a timeline, that’s great! I’ll review it and make suggestions based on my experience.

Vendor Coordination

I love working closely with your vendors, so I’ll review your agreements with them, organize their contact info, and reach out to all of them 3-4 weeks before the wedding. I’ll share the timeline with them, confirm setup details, and give them my phone number so they can bug me instead of you.

Basic Setup

Have some decor for your gift and guest book tables? I can take care of that. Need place cards set at each place setting? I’m on it. Want donuts carefully set up on your dessert station? I’ll make it happen (and only taste test a little).

Communication

Getting to know my couples well before the wedding is my favorite part of this whole thing. We’ll start working closely together about 2-3 months before your wedding, but if you book me sooner we get to be friends longer. Throughout your planning, I’m always happy to answer questions and give you recommendations.

…And more.

Partial and Full Service Planning

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Depending on where you’re at in the planning process, this service includes everything above plus:

Venue Site Visits

Need help figuring out where to host your reception and/or ceremony? I love doing venue research, so I’ll arrange site visits and make sure we ask all the right questions. I’ll also help you sort through those sometimes confusing venue contracts so you can focus on the fun stuff. I guarantee we can find the best space for your preferred location, guest count, and budget.

Design Direction

I work with a talented team of creative professionals who have experience bringing your vision to life with your budget in mind. Bring your collection of “must haves” and inspiration, and we’ll take it from there! We’ll ensure that all of your vendors are on the same page and your decor is beautifully cohesive.

Vendor Referrals

I promise to recommend the best vendors I know, and I know some good people. I’ll streamline vendor introductions, review vendor contracts, and set up appointments as needed. Most importantly, I want to help you build connections with your vendors that allow for open, honest collaboration and a sense of trust. We’ve all got your back.

Budget Advice

Let’s sit down and map out your estimated budget for each wedding category. I’ll help you set realistic expectations for your budget, prioritize your money, and give you cost-saving tips to help your money go further.

GUest Management

I’m happy to assist with guest accommodations including hotel room blocks, transportation options to/from the wedding, and hospitality welcome gifts (assembly and/or drop-off). Also, if the thought of organizing and tracking down RSVPs overwhelms you, I can help manage that madness.

…And more.

Both partial and full-service planning services are absolutely tailored to fit your specific needs. Just send me a message and we can chat about all the fun details!

Not sure where to start?

I totally get it! With so much information out there, it can be difficult to sort through the marital madness and get to the good stuff. No matter where you're at in the wedding planning process, sometimes you just need someone to brainstorm ideas with. Someone to give you some reassurance. And if you're in the beginning stages, someone to tell you where to start! My personalized consultations are designed to give you an opportunity to ask the questions, and I'll hit up the vendor websites, wedding magazines, blogs, and bride forums to find the best answers.

We’ll spend 2-3 hours diving deeper into your specific wedding planning needs. Need help envisioning your wedding day style? Let me create a moodboard that pulls together your favorite things and gives you something to share with your florist, baker, and DIY friends. Need to find a local photographer? Let me share my list of go-to people who will capture amazing moments for you. I'm here to serve you with some stress-free planning. And maybe serve a little wine while we're at it.

Consultations start at $150

Here’s WHat you Can Expect from me

First and foremost, I promise to share my genuine passion for weddings and event planning. When I meet with couples, I love having meaningful conversations and listening to their unique love story and vision for their wedding day (not to mention I could talk about wedding dresses for hours). I promise to use my expertise and creativity to showcase your love story through seamless details and creative design.

I promise to respect your interests and concerns. I will share my knowledge and experience with you, but I also recognize that this is your day, and more importantly, a reflection of you as a couple. I will not overshare opinions that are not requested. My goal is to help you design your ideal day, regardless of outside opinions or pressures to follow tradition. Let’s throw that rule book out the window.

I promise to recommend the best vendors I know, and I know some good people. I love supporting local and women-owned businesses, and I hope you’ll consider doing the same as we select your wedding details. No matter who you choose, I want to help you build connections with your vendors that allow for open, honest collaboration and a sense of trust. We’ve all got your back.

I promise to make your wedding planning experience stress-free and fun. Wedding planning shouldn’t feel like checking off a daunting to-do list, it should feel like you’re having mini celebrations each step of the way! That’s why I’m here to take care of the to-dos, so you can focus on being excited and planning your amazing future together. I can’t wait to follow your adventures after the sparkler send-off, and I look forward to celebrating you with virtual champagne bottles (or real ones!) for years to come!
