Planning happens before the plan is complete.
It's the research, decisions, conversations, organization, logistics, and problem-solving that take an idea and turn it into an event that's actually ready to happen.
A planning client may come to us with nothing more than a date and an inspiration board. Or you may already have your venue and a few vendors booked but need professional guidance getting everything else across the finish line.
Depending on the level of planning support you choose, we can help with budgeting, venue selection, vendor research, proposal comparisons, contracts, rentals, guest experience, logistics, floor plans, timelines, transportation, catering considerations, entertainment, accommodations, and the many decisions that happen along the way.
Most importantly, planning gives you someone to answer:
“What do we need to do next?”
Planning may be right for you if...
You're still making significant decisions.
You haven't hired all of your vendors.
You're unsure what should happen next.
You're worried you might be forgetting something.
You want professional recommendations and guidance.
You don't have the time—or desire—to manage the entire planning process yourself.
Or you've already started planning and simply want someone to help you finish it.
Planning can range from professional guidance and partial planning to comprehensive beginning-to-end support.
You don't have to know everything before you hire a planner. That's the point.
You've created the plan. We help make it happen.
Coordination begins from a very different place.
By the time we step into a coordination role, you've already done the planning.
You've chosen the venue, hired the vendors, made the major decisions, selected the details, and created the celebration you want.
What you don't want is to spend the final weeks—or the celebration itself—managing it.
That's where we come in.
We gather the information you've created, review your contracts and vendor details, identify any remaining logistical gaps, create or refine the master timeline, confirm final details with vendors, and prepare to take over execution.
Then, when the celebration arrives, we become the point people.
Vendors need direction? They come to us.
Something arrives late? We're following up.
The photographer needs five more minutes? We'll adjust.
Guests have questions? We'll help.
The timeline needs to shift? We're already working on it.
Something unexpected happens?
Our goal is for you to never know it did.
Coordination answers a completely different question:
“We've planned everything. Who is going to make sure it actually happens?”
Coordination may be right for you if...
You enjoy planning and want to remain in control of the process.
Most or all of your vendors are already hired.
The major decisions have already been made.
You feel comfortable managing the planning process leading up to the celebration.
But you absolutely do not want yourself, your family, or your friends working the event.
We help create the look, feel, and experience.
Design is about more than choosing pretty things.
It's about creating a visual story.
Your colors. Your textures. Your tables. Your florals. Your lighting. Your signage. Your stationery. Your décor. Your room layout. Your focal points. The details guests notice—and even some they don't consciously notice—that make everything feel intentional and connected.
Some clients arrive knowing exactly what they want but aren't sure how to bring it together.
Others tell us:
"I know how I want it to feel, but I have no idea what that looks like."
We love both.
Design & Styling can include creative direction, mood boards, color palettes, tablescape development, rental selections, décor sourcing, signage concepts, floral direction, floor-plan aesthetics, installation planning, styling, and the finishing touches that transform a space.
Design answers:
“How do we make this vision come to life?”
Design may be right for you if...
You have dozens of inspiration photos but aren't sure how to make them work together.
You know the feeling you want but need help defining the look.
You want your celebration to feel cohesive rather than simply decorated.
You need assistance selecting rentals, linens, décor, signage, tablescapes, or other visual elements.
You want someone thinking about the guest experience as well as the aesthetics.
Or you simply don't want to spend the weeks before your celebration ordering décor and figuring out where everything goes.
We don't want your celebration to look like someone else's Pinterest board. We want it to look like yours.
