Services

Full Planning & Design

This level of planning support is for couples who want to bring their vision to life in the most captivating way. We’ll tailor an experience that goes beyond expectations. Hand over the reins, sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience. This is more than just a day; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

We bring your dream wedding to life by designing your vision, securing the ideal venue, and collaborating with a team of exceptional vendors to ensure every detail is flawlessly executed.

Our pricing approach for our full planning service is bespoke. After your initial discovery call with our team, we’ll provide a customized proposal and pricing based on your event goals and vision.

At the Heart

At the Heart is partial planning, designed for couples who have already started their wedding planning and need help finalizing the details. We’ll review and organize everything you’ve completed so far, making sure no detail is missed. Perfect for the busy couple looking for support to optimize their time and assist with specific areas of the planning process, including wedding day management.

This package is available only after you have begun planning your wedding.

Wedding Coordination

Perfect fit for couples who want to plan their wedding, work with vendors, and design their theme but need expert hands to bring it all together. In the final month, we step in to tie up loose ends, confirm vendor details, and manage logistics. On the wedding day, we handle everything so you can enjoy the moment. Think of it as the finishing touch—where we take your vision and ensure every detail runs seamlessly, leaving you free to focus on celebrating your love.

Decor, Design & Styling

Transforming your vision into reality, decor, design, and styling are at the heart of creating a truly unforgettable event. These elements go beyond aesthetics, weaving together colors, textures, and details to shape a cohesive and immersive experience for you and your guests.

Decor encompasses the physical elements of your event—floral arrangements, table settings, lighting, backdrops, and furniture. Every piece is carefully selected to complement the overall theme and bring a sense of harmony to the space.

Design is where creativity meets strategy. It’s about conceptualizing the big picture and ensuring every detail fits seamlessly into the story you want to tell. From selecting the perfect color palette to curating mood boards and layouts, the design process turns your ideas into a well-planned masterpiece.

Styling brings the design to life, focusing on the final touches that make your event unique. It’s the art of arranging decor elements, adding personal touches, and enhancing the ambiance to reflect your personality and style. Whether it’s the elegant drape of a table runner, the strategic placement of candles, or the balance of florals, styling ensures every detail is picture-perfect.

When decor, design, and styling come together, the result is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant event that exceeds expectations. Whether you envision a romantic, bohemian celebration or a sleek, modern affair, our team will ensure your dream is brought to life with elegance and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Planning and the Day of Coordination?

With Day of Coordination, our team steps in during the final weeks leading up to your event to manage and execute the plans you’ve already made. As your Coordinator, we serve as the liaison between you, your vendors, and the event timeline, ensuring every detail comes together exactly as you envisioned.

Wedding planning, on the other hand, is a collaborative process where we work with you from the start to design and organize every aspect of your event. This includes helping you select and book vendors, create a cohesive design, source décor, manage your budget, and handle behind-the-scenes logistics. All of our wedding planning packages also include day-of coordination services to ensure a seamless event.

What is the difference between Partial Planning & Full Planning?

Wedding planning is ideal for couples who have already begun planning their wedding but need help filling in the gaps. This service provides guidance in finalizing a select number of vendors, refining the overall event design, and tying together the plans you’ve already made. It also includes managing the timeline as the wedding day approaches and ensuring smooth execution with day-of coordination.

Full wedding planning, on the other hand, is a comprehensive service for couples seeking professional support throughout the entire process. From creating a vision and design concept to sourcing and booking all vendors, this service covers every detail. It includes budget management, payment schedules, logistical coordination, and all behind-the-scenes arrangements. Day-of coordination is also included to guarantee a flawless celebration.

The key difference lies in the level of involvement: partial planning complements the progress you’ve made, while full planning handles every aspect from start to finish.

What is the average cost of a wedding?

Weddings can vary significantly depending on factors like location, guest count, and the level of luxury you want. Our average wedding starts at $50,000. For personal elopements and smaller affairs, please get in touch with us for pricing details.

What happens during the initial consultation?

The initial consultation is a chance for us to get to know you and your vision for your event. We’ll discuss your style, priorities, budget, and how involved you’d like us to be. It’s a no-pressure opportunity to see if we’re the right fit for your needs.

How involved will we need to be in the process?

That’s entirely up to you! We can take the lead and handle all the details, or we can work closely with you for a more hands-on approach. Our goal is to make the process stress-free and enjoyable for you.

Do you have rentals?

We have a selection of curated items that are exclusive to our clients.

When do we sign the contract & pay the deposit?

Once you decide to work with us, we’ll provide a contract outlining services, terms, and payment details. A 50% deposit is required upon signing to secure your date, and this allows us to start planning right away!

Is the deposit refundable?
Deposits are typically non-refundable as they reserve your date. Specific terms regarding cancellations or rescheduling will be outlined in the contract.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we often accommodate installment payments and work with clients on a case-by-case basis to ensure planning your wedding doesn’t disrupt your daily life.

What if we need to reschedule?
