How can a wedding planner or wedding coordinator help me?
Planning a wedding involves many moving parts. A planner helps you make sense of everything, guiding you through decisions, structuring timelines, and ensuring nothing is overlooked.
​
A coordinator will come into the picture when you want to be fully present on your wedding day. On the wedding day, you should not be managing people, timelines, or issues. Our role is to hold everything together so you can experience the day as it unfolds.

What are the differences between your services?
We have one coordination service and three tiers of planning services.
​
Month-of Coordination
For couples who have completed their planning and require support in the final stretch. We will provide structured handover templates, followed by a detailed run-through approximately four weeks before your wedding to align on timelines, vendors, and key details. On the actual day, we manage the full execution from venue set-up and vendor coordination to programme overall flow, ensuring everything runs smoothly so you can enjoy your day without worry.
​
Basic Planning
For couples who have secured their venue and vendors, and are looking for guidance through the planning process. We support you by refining key details, identifying gaps, and thoughtfully crafting your wedding day programme. Throughout, we remain available to advise and ensure everything is aligned. In the final month, we take over vendor communications, allowing you to step back and focus on what truly matters.
​​
Partial Planning
For couples who have secured their venue and bridal studio. You value guidance in the overall direction, with someone to lead the process. We take on the complexities of planning, sourcing and curating the remaining vendors, managing your budget, and developing a cohesive wedding concept that brings clarity to your vision. This allows you to focus on the meaningful and enjoyable decisions, while we lead and ensure everything is thoughtfully aligned from start to finish.
​
Bespoke Planning
For couples who would like a fully guided experience, with us leading every phase of the wedding journey from venue selection to the final moments of your celebration. We provide a comprehensive suite of services, including venue site visits, vendor curation aligned with your vision, budget management, RSVP concierge, and logistical planning and execution. With a strong creative direction, we ensure every detail is cohesive and thoughtfully considered.
This is a fully managed experience where we take care of the complexities so you can enjoy the process, and your wedding day with complete ease.
