Full Service Wedding Planning

Is it worth it? Long story, short; yes! Below are 4 reasons you need a full service planner:
#1 Foundations
When a new client books with us we always start with the foundations to planning any event: design, budget, and a planning checklist. Although these elements evolve somewhat throughout the planning process, we want to make sure we are all on the same page as we get started.
Design: We start with a design meeting to discuss the look, feel, style, colors, and formality level for the event.
Budget: Next, we discuss budget! What number are you aiming for? Is that realistic given the design you’re hoping to achieve? Who is contributing to the budget? What’s the guest count?
Planning checklist: After we have the design and budget worked out, we customize a planning checklist for you. This shows our to-dos and the dates we hope to complete them by. That way you’ll know where you’re at in the planning process at all times!
#2 Vendor Team Selection
Once we have laid a strong foundation, it’s time to start building your vendor team! We put industry knowledge to use, matching you with vendors who align with your design, budget, and personality. We take care of all the emails, phone calls, and administrative work behind the booking process.
#3 Extras
Aside from the design, budget, and vendor selection, there are lots of other odds and ends along the way. Things like: selecting and managing the wedding party attire, ordering stationery, creating a wedding website, all the way down to assembling welcome bags. We love taking those time-consuming tasks off your plate.
#4 Event production and management
And finally, we get to produce the event we’ve been planning for months (or years!) We draft the timeline, ceremony plan, inventory checklist, and floor plan. We handle all communication with vendors, making sure to coordinate delivery/pickup times, load-in, set-up, and load-out. And then when wedding weekend hits, we’re there to execute everything we’ve planned. We’ll guide you through each moment of the day!
We are so lucky to have worked with amazing couples over the years. Read what they have to say!

If you’re looking for a personalized and full service wedding planner, look no further. We cannot thank Rachel enough for bringing our wedding dream to life. From the first phone call, we felt genuinely cared for and heard. Amazingly, she was able to translate the jumbled vision we had into reality in the most elegant, magical way. She made the entire process so much less stressful with her care, support, and guidance. We felt like we were the only couple she was working with because she always gave us her full dedication and really got to know us to make our wedding uniquely us. She was organized and detail oriented so we knew we could trust her to ensure everything was taken care of and nothing was forgotten. On the day of the wedding Rachel was the go-to for so many people and ensured our day was smooth. Even our family members and friends were complimenting and thanking Rachel for how caring and helpful she was, and the incredible job she had done making our day special. We can’t imagine going through this journey without Rachel and would strongly recommend her!
