FAQ
Questions couples ask before booking
- How far in advance should we book a planner?
- For full planning, twelve to eighteen months before your date, since that gives us time to secure the venue and vendors you want rather than whoever still has your date open. Partial planning works with six to twelve months. Month-of coordination can be booked as late as sixty days out, though we book up early — Fridays and Saturdays in spring and fall tend to go first.
- We've already booked some vendors ourselves. Can you still help?
- Yes — that's partial planning. We take over managing the vendors you've already booked, fill in whatever's left, build the timeline and run the wedding day. You don't lose any of the deposits or relationships you've already put down.
- Do you plan small weddings or elopements?
- We don't run a separate elopement package, but a small wedding is welcome under any of our three tiers — most often month-of coordination, since a guest list under thirty usually means the couple has already handled the planning and just needs someone running the day.
- Do we meet you before we sign anything?
- Always. Every inquiry starts with a call or a video meeting, at no cost, before any contract exists. It's how you find out whether you want to spend the next year working with us, and how we find out whether your date and vision fit what we do well.
- What's the difference between a wedding planner and a venue coordinator?
- A venue coordinator works for the venue and manages what the venue provides — the room, the tables it owns, its own staff. A planner works for you, across every vendor you hire: florist, caterer, photographer, band, rentals and the venue itself. If something goes wrong with your florist at 4pm on your wedding day, a venue coordinator isn't the person who fixes it. We are.
