The Experience
Many wedding planners refer to this level as service as "Day of" Planning or "Month of" planning, but I prefer the term "Wedding Management" because I am available to you from the moment you decide that I am the planner for you!
I use Aisle Planner, a collaborative online tool that allows me to track your progress while planning your wedding! If you have questions at any point in your planning process, I am here to help!
I will start the majority of my help about two-months prior to your wedding. We will have an in-depth meeting to walk through your wedding day flow, chat about details, and make sure that your vendor team is in place!
I handle the final vendor confirmations and timeline creation so that you are able to relax prior to your wedding. On the day of your wedding, I will check in with you to make sure that hair and makeup is off to a smooth start and then arrive at your venue as soon as it opens for set up! I will be helping organize and direct each stage of the day, from the start of set up to the end of breakdown!
