What services do you offer for wedding planning?

We offer a range of wedding planning services to cater to your unique needs. Our specialty is full-service wedding planning, where we take care of every aspect of your celebration, from initial concept design to final execution. We work closely with you to bring your vision to life and handle all the details, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.

In addition to full-service planning, we also offer partial planning and month-of coordination options. Our partial planning service is ideal for couples who have already started the planning process but need assistance with specific areas or vendors. Our month-of coordination service is perfect for couples who have planned their wedding but need professional coordination and management on the day of the event.

With our comprehensive range of services, we can customize our offerings to fit your specific requirements and provide you with the level of assistance that best suits your needs. Many of our services are available as à la carte add-ons, as well. Our goal is to make your wedding planning experience enjoyable, stress-free, and memorable, regardless of the level of service you choose.

Do you plan other events and gatherings, besides weddings?

Certainly! As nontraditional event planners, we go beyond the ordinary and love curating unique and unconventional celebrations. Whether it's an intimate gathering, an offbeat event, or a non-traditional soiree, we specialize in creating one-of-a-kind experiences that break away from the norm. From dreamy elopements in breathtaking locations to whimsical birthday bashes with unexpected touches, we're here to bring your vision to life. Our event planning services extend beyond weddings and encompass a wide array of nontraditional events and gatherings, tailored to your distinct style and preferences. Let us work our magic to make your special occasion an extraordinary and unforgettable experience.

How far in advance should I book your services for my wedding?

We recommend booking our services as soon as you have confirmed your wedding date. Wedding planning timelines can vary depending on various factors such as the size and complexity of your wedding, availability of preferred vendors, and personal preferences. However, as a general guideline, we suggest booking our services at least 6-12 months prior to your wedding date to ensure availability and ample time for us to provide you with exceptional service.

Booking early allows us to work closely with you from the early stages of wedding planning, helping you establish a solid foundation for your wedding vision and providing expert guidance throughout the planning process. It also allows us to secure preferred vendors, negotiate contracts, and manage all the intricate details of your wedding with meticulous care.

That being said, we understand that some couples may have shorter timelines or last-minute planning needs, and we will do our best to accommodate your unique requirements whenever possible. However, to ensure the best experience and availability of our services, we recommend booking as early as possible.
