Comprehensive planning, design and execution support.

Full Planning & Design

Weddings have what feels like a million moving parts that must come together seamlessly to create a magical, memorable day for you and your guests. From vendor selection, budgeting and design concept, to detailed timelines, invitation suites and even hors d'oeuvres selections there is A LOT of details to keep tabs on. In fact - the average wedding takes over 400 hours to plan. That is no small number. 

Maybe you just got engaged and are overwhelmed with where to begin. Maybe you know that you and your fiances’ busy schedules won’t allow for the time commitment. Or maybe you want to enjoy your engagement and not be constantly stressed with big decision making.

Our Full Planning & Design service is for the couple that wants an effortless planning experience. We provide professional, thoughtful and detailed guidance every step of the way - from selecting your venue to walking you down the aisle (literally if you need it - we’ve done it before!), to lighting the last sparkler for your end of the night send off.
