One of the biggest misconceptions about hiring a wedding planner is that it means you are no longer planning your own wedding. That could not be further from the truth. You are absolutely still planning your wedding, but with a planner by your side you gain the answers, the insider knowledge, and the advocacy you simply cannot find by Googling or scrolling.

What Couples Think vs. What Really Happens

Most couples think hiring a planner means giving up control. In reality, you are still making the decisions that matter most. You choose your vendors. You select your design direction. You decide how you want the day to feel. The difference is that we help you make those decisions smarter, faster, and with the full context of what things really cost and what actually works.

Over the last 17 wedding seasons we have worked with hundreds of vendors. We know who delivers, who struggles, and who fits specific budgets. That is information you cannot find on a search engine. It is the kind of insight that saves you time, stress, and disappointment.

Why Planners Matter

A good planner is your advocate. We are the sounding board who will tell you straight up why you cannot host a 150 person wedding for $50,000 and expect it to feel seamless. We are the ones making sure your investment in your venue, vendors, and design aligns with your priorities instead of blowing your budget before you begin.

Hiring a planner does not mean we take over your wedding. It means you have someone watching your back, keeping the big picture intact, and protecting your guest experience so you can stay present.

Flexible Options for Every Couple

We know every couple has different needs. That is why we offer packages from hourly consulting for quick, targeted advice, to day-of coordination, to full-service and destination planning. Whether you need a little guidance or full support, you are still planning your wedding, but with a professional by your side.

Pro Tip: You do not know what you do not know. That is exactly why you hire a planner.

Your wedding is one of the most meaningful investments you will ever make. Hiring a planner is not about giving up control, it is about making sure the money, time, and heart you put into your day actually deliver the experience you want.
