Full planning: since we help organize your budget, select your vendors and build your design, we should absolutely be one of the first vendors you book

What is Wedding Management?
Wedding Management is our take on what some people refer to as “Day-of Coordination.” It’s a service designed for couples who have planned their wedding but need a professional to bring all the details together. We step in several weeks before the big day to finalize logistics, confirm vendor details, create a timeline, and ensure everything goes off without a hitch.
How is Wedding Management different from Day-of Coordination?
"Day-of Coordination" is a popular term, but it’s a bit misleading. There’s no such thing as just showing up on the wedding day and magically making everything run smoothly. True coordination requires time, planning, and communication in the weeks leading up to your wedding. That’s what Wedding Management is—thorough preparation and support so your big day is flawless.
