Frequently asked questions

How much does a wedding planner cost in Michigan?
Our planning packages start at $3,700 for partial planning and $5,000 for full planning. If you only need wedding-day support, our Day of Coordination packages start at $1,500.
What's the difference between partial and full planning?
Partial planning picks up wherever you are — we merge the work you've already begun with our planning and coordination. Full planning means we're with you from the start: vendor sourcing, budgeting, design, timelines, and complete coordination through your wedding day.
Will you work with vendors we've already booked?
Absolutely. We coordinate with your existing vendors, build them into your timeline, and manage all vendor communication in the lead-up and on the day.
