When should I hire a wedding planner?
We’d love to start working with you at any point in the wedding planning journey. However, we hope to start at the very beginning with our couples. This allows us to suggest the right venue and vendors based on your desired wedding budget and ensure that we are best able to maximize that budget according to your needs, wants, and must-haves. That being said, we’re happy to assist you whenever you need support in your wedding planning journey. 
 
 

Can I hire you if I've already hired some of my vendors? 
Of course! We’re happy to pick up where you left off and coordinate with any of your current vendors to ensure no detail is unaccounted for as your wedding vision comes to life. We also have a list of preferred vendors. So if there are vendors you’re still looking to contract, we’re happy to curate a list of potential options that match your budget, aesthetic, and personality.
 
 

What level of support is right for me? 
The best way to determine what level of support is right for you is by contacting us to schedule a complimentary consultation. Once we learn more about your vision, how involved you desire to be in the planning process, and more about the logistics of your event, we can suggest the best option for you. We’d also be happy to craft a package based on your event needs.
 
 

What is the payment structure for your services?
A 30% non-refundable retainer is due upon signing the contract to secure your date. Depending on the package you choose, the remaining balance will be split up throughout the planning process, with the final balance due a month before the wedding day.


How much access do I get to you as my planner?
Our goal is to be there for you throughout the entire process. You can schedule meetings and phone calls as needed, although we will regularly check in to ensure that everything is going smoothly and no issues arise. In order to provide you with the best level of service, we have guidelines in place to streamline the communication process. This is to ensure that whenever you reach out, we can respond with our full attention and make note of any important details mentioned during our conversation.
 
 

How do we reserve our wedding date?
After a crafted proposal is presented to you on a Zoom meeting, you will have 7 days to make a non-refundable deposit and sign the contract in order to secure your event date. During these days, we will block our agenda and not commit to any other event.
 
 

What does a typical timeline from inquiry to book look like?
As you book your complimentary call, a questionnaire is sent to you. After 4 days from our initial call, we schedule another Zoom call time to review the proposal. It is never long after that, that the couple of books :)
KIND WORDS
"What a spectacularly beautiful day it was our daughter's wedding and how happy everyone was with the whole day.  We couldn’t be happier and thank you so much for your attention to detail and helping it all work so smoothly.  Lizzie told me it was the best day of her life, and that truly says it all.  Many thanks again."
