Planners
This Wine Country and Bay Area partial wedding planner package is built as an ongoing planning partnership, not a hand-off. The team comes in earlier in the engagement, contributes to design and vendor selection through the back half of the planning calendar, and stays through the rehearsal and the wedding day itself so the day actually lands the way you imagined it.
What's Included
- Monthly planning partnership calls across the engagement timeline
- Vendor outreach and selection guidance for any remaining bookings
- Verification of every booked vendor contract and payment schedule
- Two design consultations covering palette, rentals, florals, and styling
- Master production timeline and venue floor plan creation
- Rehearsal coordination the day or evening before the wedding
- Day-of event management with the lead planner and on-site team
- Final-week vendor confirmations and walk-through with each contractor
- Family and wedding-party movement management through the day
Who This Package Is For
Choose the partial coordination package if you have booked the venue and started on vendors but want a wedding planner as a real partner in the remaining design, vendor, and styling decisions rather than just a day-of coordinator. Common patterns include couples who locked the venue early, hired the photographer they already loved, and now want a planner for the florals, rentals, paper, and timeline. It is also a strong fit when one partner is doing most of the planning and wants a professional second pair of eyes through the back half of the engagement.
About Us
This is owner-run high-end wedding planning. The same senior planner you meet at the first call is the one writing your timeline, sitting in your vendor meetings, walking your venue, and pacing the rehearsal the night before. There is no account hand-off, no junior coordinator taking over after the deposit, and no template plan you wedge your event into. Every package is shaped to the actual event, the actual venue, and the actual guest list. Whether the engagement is a wedding planner role for a destination Wine Country couple or an event planner role for a multi-day destination celebration, the structure is the same: senior planner ownership, transparent wedding planner cost up front, and a written plan you can hold the team to.
Approach
The process starts with a complimentary discovery call to confirm fit and walk through the package most suited to the scope of your event. Once you book, you get a structured plan with milestone checkpoints, a shared timeline, a vendor short-list tailored to your budget and aesthetic, and direct access to the senior planner for questions between meetings. As the date approaches, the team builds the master production timeline, runs the rehearsal, and steps in as the on-the-ground point of contact so you, your family, and your wedding party do not have to manage a single vendor question on the day itself.
Credentials and Trust
The planning practice is consistently five-star rated across every public review channel, with more than one hundred twenty verified guest reviews and multiple years of industry award recognition. Couples describe the team in the same words across years of feedback: attentive listeners, calm under pressure, detail-oriented, design-driven, and able to take a vision that lives in your head and turn it into a real day that runs on time. The team operates from the Wine Country and travels across the wider region for destination events.
Travel and Logistics
Local coverage spans the Napa Valley, the Sonoma Valley, the greater San Francisco Bay Area, and the Pacific coast wedding corridor from Mendocino to Big Sur. Destination events outside these regions are taken case by case; travel and per-diem are quoted transparently in the proposal so there are no surprises in the final invoice.
Booking and Add-Ons
This partial coordination package is priced at a flat rate published in the pricing section above, and is most often booked anywhere from six months to eighteen months ahead of the event date, depending on the package. A signed planning agreement and a deposit reserve your date on the calendar; the balance is split into transparent milestone payments through the planning timeline. Custom add-ons such as additional design consultations, multi-day welcome event coordination, or additional staff for very large guest counts are quoted in writing before any work is added. Pricing is consistent regardless of channel: the same package priced anywhere is priced the same here.
