What Full-Service Planning Covers
- A wedding planner involved from the early planning stages
- Guidance on budget, priorities and planning timeline
- Help selecting and coordinating your vendor team
- Wedding day management so hosts and families can be present
- One point of contact for vendors throughout the process
Why Hosts Choose Full-Service Planning
Weddings in wine regions often involve estates, vineyards or private properties that require rentals, permits and careful logistics. Hosts traveling in for a destination wedding also benefit from someone local who knows the vendors and the venues. Full wedding planning gives you that partner from the beginning instead of scrambling near the end.
Hourly Help Versus Full Planning
The planner also lists an hourly rate of $300 for hosts who need targeted help rather than a full planning engagement. If you want consistent guidance from start to finish, full-service planning is usually the better value, because the planner learns your priorities once and carries them through every decision.
Who This Is For
- Hosts planning a wedding alongside a demanding job
- Families coordinating guests who are traveling in
- Hosts who want one trusted contact for every vendor
- Weddings with several events across a weekend
Before the Event
Before your first call, gather a rough budget, a guest count estimate, a few dates that would work and any venues you already love. Even a short list of priorities, such as food, music or photography, helps the planner understand where to focus effort and how to shape a plan that matches the wedding you picture.
Pricing and What to Expect
Full wedding planning starts at $14,000 for one wedding, with the final scope shaped by guest count, the number of events and the complexity of the venue. 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. Ask the planner how early in your engagement full-service planning begins.
Questions to Ask Before You Book
- How many planning meetings or check-ins are part of this service
- When the planner starts working with you, and how often you will hear from them
- Whether the planner is on site on the wedding day, alone or with an assistant
- How vendor recommendations, contracts and payments are handled
- What is confirmed in writing before you sign
How Booking Works
Booking through Events in Minutes keeps the planning conversation in one place. Send your date, venue and guest count, describe how much support you want, and the planner replies with a quote that confirms scope and price. Messages, changes and confirmations stay attached to the booking, so nothing gets lost between the first inquiry and the wedding day.
Why Book Through Events in Minutes
Events in Minutes lists vetted vendors with published starting prices so you can compare options before you reach out. You send one inquiry with your details, receive a written quote from the vendor and keep every message and confirmation in your account. Payment and booking happen on the platform, which keeps the process clear for hosts and vendors alike.
Plan Your Date
Full-service planners take a limited number of weddings each year, so reach out as soon as you have a date range. Send your date, venue status and guest count through Events in Minutes to check availability and receive a written quote for full-service wedding planning tailored to your celebration.
