Why should i hire a wedding planner?

Hiring a wedding planner reduces stress, saves time, and allows couples to make smart, strategic financial decisions. We manage logistics, design unique experiences, troubleshoot issues, and bring your dream wedding to life all while you enjoy the process.

What is the difference between a wedding planner, wedding coordinator, and wedding designer?

A wedding planner assists with the entire planning process, from budgeting, vendor selection, design, and execution. A wedding coordinator (also known as a day-of coordinator) focuses on managing wedding-day logistics 30-60 days out from the wedding day, they do not book vendors or design the event. A wedding designer specializes in the aesthetics, décor, and overall theme of the event, they do not manage the logistics of the event.
