Types of planners
Day of Wedding Planner
A Day of wedding planner are there to assist you on the day to ensure your wedding day runs smooth. Coordinating the final walk-through, finalize your day-of timeline, organize your floor plans and guest count, work with your vendor team, along with the rehearsal.
Partial Wedding Planner
Once you have chosen/booked your 4 major vendors (venue, caterer, alcohol, décor, etc) They are there to make sure your vision is executed, you’re on task all the up until your big day. You do the contacting, negotiating and managing, but your planner is there to provide design support and on-site execution.
