FAQs

  • It depends on what type of planning you are looking for.

    If you are looking for day of wedding coordination I recommend booking with me at least a month out from your wedding day.

    For partial planning I would recommend at least 6 months out from the wedding.

    For full service wedding planning, booking soon after your engagement is recommended to ensure we can help you through the entire process start to finish.
