However much of it you want us to carry
Four ways to work together, from the first idea to the last dance. If none of them fit exactly, tell us. We build around what you actually need.

Full-Service Planning
From the first idea to the last dance, we're beside you through every detail.
This is the whole thing, start to finish. You bring the two of you and the life you want to celebrate, and we handle the rest. We help you find the venue, build the budget, choose the vendors, shape the design, and carry every conversation from the first phone call through the last song of the night. It is the option for couples who want a planner, a designer, and a sounding board all at once.

Partial Planning
You've got the vision. We'll help bring the pieces together.
Some couples already know exactly what they want. Maybe the venue is booked and a few vendors are locked in, and what you actually need is someone to pick up the rest and carry it across the finish line. Partial planning is built around wherever you are. We step in, look at what is done, and take on the pieces that are still open.
What is included
- Planning kickoff and a review of everything booked so far
- Vendor recommendations for the roles still unfilled
- Vendor communication from the point we step in
- Design support and refinement of your existing vision
- Budget review
- Timeline building
- Rehearsal coordination
- Full wedding day management, setup, and breakdown

Month-of Coordination
You've planned the celebration. We'll make sure it all comes together seamlessly.
You have done the planning yourself, and you have done it well. What is left is the handoff. We come in roughly six weeks out, learn everything you have built, and take the logistics off your plate so the last month before your wedding feels like anticipation instead of admin.

Wedding Day Coordination
Your only job is to enjoy the day. We'll handle everything happening behind the scenes.
