Start by choosing your date. Then, select your venue before any other vendor. Also, prioritize your budget with the five most important pieces of your day.

We can definitely help with vendors. We have a preferred vendors list that we will share with you upon booking as well. But, you make the final decision.

Partial planning typically includes all of the services for day-of wedding coordination plus a select set of additional services offered by the wedding planner.

This typically includes: Recommending venues and vendors and assisting with sourcing and booking them for you. Contract negotiation. Attending site visits so you can select your venue. Attending vendor meetings and consultations with you. Projecting managing your wedding budget. Keeping track of when vendor payments are due Wedding design + floor plan layouts.

This depends. If your wedding is large, with a high guest count and bridal party, you can expect a team of 4+ but if you're event is smaller, then you may only have a team of 2. We will make sure to staff your event specific to your details and needs.

Absolutely! Some of our package include rehearsal coverage. We assist with coordinating all the in's and out's of your ceremony, including making a line up, practicing the walk down the aisle and back, timing, etc.

No, this is a job specific to your catering team. Any food and/or beverages are served exclusively by your catering team. We will however get you a cocktail or glass of wine to enjoy during cocktail hour or during your photo formals.

We do understand that there is some grey area with regard to planning and coordinating. As we are not a full planning service, we will not be providing design services, contract negotiation, attending vendor meetings or booking vendors for you. Additionally, we will remain focused on managing your timeline, vendors and setup during the wedding day, so we won't be running errands, assisting with hair and makeup, steaming dresses, managing playlists at the reception or serving food, etc. We also do not provide services for rentals, draping or lighting or bar services.

Our partial planning package customers have a monthly planning meeting to discuss any questions, FYI's for the coordinator and make sure that your planning process is on track. Meetings are specifically set once per month mostly to keep planning organized, but also because your coordinator is out of the office on the ground at weddings often. Your coordinator is not able to respond immediately to calls and emails as they are coordinating other client's weddings. We scheduled monthly meetings so that you can have the undivided attention of your coordinator.

We will help oversee and organize the breakdown of your reception, but we do not provide cleanup services.

Absolutely! Clients who select our Partial Planning package will receive immediate access to their custom portal.

This depends on the package you chose. Once you reserve services with us, you'll expect to receive a confirmation of your booking with your package details and what to expect going forward. You will also receive a planning questionnaire to fill out... but don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to do this! For our coordination packages, services start about 8 weeks prior to your wedding date, so unless you have a question you'll just be able to enjoy putting together your wedding details. We will reach our to discuss those details you decided on and build your timeline for you. For our partial planing package, service start at the time of booking and continue monthly until your wedding date.
