Planning Support
Planning support means having someone to turn to when questions come up, options feel overwhelming or plans change. The team helps you weigh choices, think through details and keep the bigger picture in view. Instead of researching every decision alone, you have an experienced partner to guide you through each stage.
Decision-Making Timelines
A wedding planning timeline sets out what needs to be decided and when. Decision-making timelines help you avoid last minute rushes, secure vendors before they book up and spread the work across the months before the wedding. Knowing what comes next makes the process feel manageable and keeps stress low.
Monthly To-Do's
Monthly to-do's break the planning process into clear, achievable steps. Each month, you know exactly what to focus on, from booking key vendors to finalizing details. This structure works well for busy hosts who want to make steady progress without the planning taking over evenings and weekends.
Vendor Sourcing and Scheduling
Vendor sourcing is one of the most time-consuming parts of wedding planning. The team helps identify vendors that suit your style and budget and handles scheduling, so meetings and tastings fit your calendar. Having a planner involved in vendor selection also helps ensure everyone works well together on the day.
Pricing
Partial wedding planning starts at $10,000, covering planning support, timelines, monthly to-do's and vendor sourcing and scheduling. The price shown is the vendor's published starting price; the final quote is confirmed with the vendor based on your date, guest count and details.
This price covers one event on a single day. The vendor has not published how many hours it includes, so the exact time is confirmed in your quote before you book. The vendor does not offer an hourly rate, and the package is customized to your needs.
A Custom Package
The team works with you to understand your needs and create a custom package. That means the support is shaped around what you have already done, what you want help with and how involved you want to be. Share your progress so far and your priorities, and the package can be built to fit.
Staying Involved
With partial planning, you remain the decision maker. The planner brings options, timelines and recommendations, and you choose what feels right. Many hosts find this balance ideal: they keep the creative control and personal touches they enjoy, while handing the research, scheduling and follow-up to someone who does it every day.
Who This Service Suits
This service suits hosts who want to stay hands-on but need structure, expert advice and help finding the right vendors. It fits hosts with busy careers, those planning from a distance and anyone who wants confidence that nothing is missed while still making the creative decisions themselves.
What to Ask Before You Book
Ask how the custom package is defined, how often you will meet or check in and how vendor recommendations are made. Confirm what support is available closer to the wedding and on the day itself. These answers help you understand where partial planning ends and where you take the lead.
How to Book
Send your wedding date, venue status, guest count and planning priorities through the booking request. Mention which vendors you have already booked. The team reviews your details, confirms availability and follows up to build your custom partial planning package.
