Yes — our Essential Planning package functions as a refined, more supportive version of partial planning. It’s designed for couples who value professional guidance, curated recommendations, monthly check-ins, and help navigating logistics and vendor communication.

Wedding Day Management begins closer to the wedding (typically 8–12 weeks out) and focuses on event-day execution, vendor confirmations, and timeline management.

Essential Planning begins earlier in the process and includes:

• Vendor recommendations

• Monthly check-ins

• Guidance with logistics and communication

• Budget guidance

• Planning tools and checklists

• Early involvement from our team

With Essential Planning, you benefit from ongoing support throughout your engagement.

It all begins with an initial consultation where we learn more about your vision and share how our team can best support you. After choosing a package, you’ll receive your proposal, contract, and first invoice. Once confirmed, we open your planning portal and begin crafting your dream wedding team and design.

We begin planning as soon as your contract and initial payment are received. Typically, we start with a welcome meeting, timeline overview, and initial vendor or design tasks depending on your package.
