Level 1 package:
Day of Coordination
A Wedding Day Coordinator is a necessity so that everyone, especially you, the bride and groom can relax and enjoy the most precious moments you've been looking forward to. Also known as "Month-of" Coordination, this service begins 4-6 weeks prior to your wedding date and is available to secure your date 4 months in advance. At the 4-month mark (or as soon as you book), I can give you vendor recommendations for anything you've not secured yet. With our checklist in-hand, you'll be ready to complete your final tasks. We'll re-group for a Detail Planning Meeting, where we put together your wedding timeline, ceremony logistics, and more! In the final month, I fully take over vendor communication and tie up loose ends. I then conduct your rehearsal and wedding day from start to finish, Emergency Kit in hand!
Level 2 package:
Partial Wedding Planning + Day of Coordination
With our Partial Wedding Planning, I act as your support system. Service begins right away and we secure your date up to 18 months out. You'll be given a detailed wedding Task List and Budget Spreadsheet. I hold you accountable for tasks and help you set the overall budget. Using my spreadsheets, you can monitor your payments and progress. As your Lead Wedding Planner, I will hand-pick all vendor recommendations, based on your unique wedding style and budget, and help set meetings, review contracts and get them booked. I also happily answer any and all questions throughout the planning process. Wedding Day Coordination included (see above for details).

Marriage Advice from 1886
“Let your love be stronger than your hate and anger. Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break. Believe the best rather than the worst. People have a way of living up or down to your opinion of them. Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship. The person you choose to marry is deserving of the courtesies and kindnesses you bestow on your friends. Please hand this down to your children and your children’s children: The more things change the more they are the same.” - Jane Wells (1886)
