Here's a breakdown of what each service includes:
1. Full-Service Wedding Planning:
This is a comprehensive service that covers every aspect of the wedding, from start to finish. Here’s what I can help with in full-service wedding planning:
Initial Consultation: Understanding your vision, preferences, and budget to create a personalized plan.
Venue Selection: Assisting in finding and booking the perfect venue based on your wedding style, size, and location.
Vendor Management: Helping you find and book trusted vendors such as photographers, florists, caterers, DJs, hair and makeup artists, and more.
Budget Management: Creating and managing your wedding budget to ensure everything stays within your limits while still delivering your dream wedding.
Timeline Creation: Developing a detailed wedding timeline, from the pre-wedding events to the big day, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Design & Theme Coordination: Helping you choose the wedding theme, décor, floral arrangements, color scheme, and any special touches that reflect your style.
Guest List & RSVP Management: Assisting with tracking guest RSVPs and making seating arrangements.
Accommodation & Travel Coordination: Organizing travel, transportation, and accommodations for guests, especially for destination weddings.
Pre-Wedding Events: Planning engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, or any other pre-wedding events.
Wedding Day Execution: Overseeing all logistics to ensure everything runs according to plan (more on this below).
2. Day-Of Wedding Coordination:
If you prefer to handle the planning yourself but need someone to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day of your wedding, day-of coordination is the right option. Here's what I can help with:
Final Timeline Creation: Reviewing and finalizing your wedding day timeline, making sure everything is organized down to the minute.
Vendor Coordination: Communicating with all vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure they’re on schedule, setting up their services, and managing any last-minute details.
Venue Coordination: Overseeing the setup and breakdown at the wedding venue, ensuring all elements (e.g., decorations, seating, and catering) are in place as planned.
Guest Management: Helping guests with seating, directions, and any special requests.
Problem-Solving: Taking care of any issues that might arise, so you and your family can enjoy the day without stress.
Rehearsal Coordination: Ensuring the rehearsal runs smoothly and everyone knows their roles, whether it's the bridal party, officiant, or other key participants.
Ceremony & Reception Flow: Managing the flow of events, like the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, and the first dance.
Which Service Is Best for You?
Full-Service Planning is ideal if you want someone to take care of everything from start to finish, allowing you to focus on enjoying the journey to your wedding day.
Day-of Coordination is best if you have already planned the majority of your wedding but want an expert to ensure everything runs smoothly on the big day.
