Not every couple needs full coordination—but sometimes a second set of professional eyes makes all the difference.
Hourly consultations are available for focused support, including timeline review, logistics troubleshooting, vendor questions, or walking through specific planning decisions with clarity and confidence.
We review what you have planned, bring the final logistics together, and lead the wedding day. Onboarding begins at booking, vendor outreach at 90 days, and primary vendor coordination at 30 days.
Final investment reflects your venue, location, guest count, coverage, and production needs. Travel and additional services are quoted separately.
