Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Mostest for Day of Coordination and Something Borrowed Blooms Management. We chose our coordinator a month before our wedding and started working with her about 3 weeks ahead of the big day. We had an 87-person restaurant wedding at American Brass in LIC. Our DoC, Tea Shepherd, was incredible and picked up seamlessly all the things we planned for the wedding. I had put together most of the plans ahead of time, but she came in with suggestions and perfected all the details. I trusted her completely to run the day and also do all the decor setup. She made the venue looks so beautiful without much input from us as we trusted her vision. She coordinated with all the vendors before the wedding and during and they all had very positive things to say about her. She was so thoughtful with the preparations for the wedding and attentive to our needs. She checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we had a drink and anything else while also making sure ran smoothly. Our coordinator for SBB, Fiona, received and dropped off all of the packages and communicated quickly and we’re very happy how all of that was handled.

We couldn't have made a better choice in using Heirloom Event Company to help us plan our wedding. Our planning timeline was only about 5 months, My husband and I lived in different countries and had to deal with the added stress of immigration visas on top of wedding planning. We wanted a planner who would understand our needs and someone we could trust to listen to our vision for the day and make it happen. Haylie was so easy to work with, always on top of deadlines and keeping us on track in the all stages of planning. She listened to our ideas and dreams and found vendors that suited and fit within budget. She found us an amazing coffee cart vendor after i said coffee would be awesome to have. We dreamed of it being a fairytale/ hobbiton vibes in the music, she found us a music duo who hit the brief perfectly. She helped us surprise each other the morning of and throughout the day. She communicated with vendors, understood the fine print in the contracts and would let us know what our responsibility was. She was so supportive throughout the whole planning stage, any questions we had she answered and even after the wedding, answering questions that only come up after the event has happened. Haylie was intentional, thoughtful and she helped us be at ease leading up to the wedding and day of. With family travelling from outside of the country, she made a simple document we could give to them to have all the info needed so they didn't ask us the day of. Haylie went above and beyond to make our wedding day our dream day and we cant thank her enough.

Joyfully Co. was founded with the heart and mission to serve every bride and groom joyfully as they plan for the one of the biggest transitions of their life. With event design, styling, and coordination as our forte, we provide our services to make the planning process as smooth and painless as possible for our couples. Knowing that no couple is the same, we cater to each unique vision and inspiration that they have to conceptualize all the details in order to make their dream wedding a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Joyfully Co was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were an absolute pleasure to work with—thoughtful, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. I had already secured most of my vendors when I reached out to them, and instead of trying to upsell me, they kindly recommended a more tailored package that better fit my needs and budget. That level of honesty and care really set the tone for the rest of our experience. Every meeting with them was encouraging and reassuring—I felt completely safe and supported in their hands. Having been a bridesmaid in weddings that left me physically and emotionally drained, my biggest goal for my own wedding was to feel calm and stress-free. Thanks to Joyfully Co, I actually got to *enjoy* my wedding day—and everything came together beautifully. We received so many compliments, and best of all, my husband and I were able to leave by 9:30 p.m. while their team took care of all the cleanup. It was such a gift. One of the things I appreciated most was how seamlessly they coordinated with all my vendors—many of whom they had worked with before. I never once worried that someone wouldn't show up or that something would fall through the cracks. As a Korean American, I also want to highlight how thoughtful they were in understanding and incorporating cultural details. They kept everything on schedule and consistently communicated with the bridal party throughout the day, which made a huge difference. The planning tools they provided were lifesavers. Their premade spreadsheets included everything: seating charts, tipping guides, vendor contact lists, timelines, packing lists—you name it. During our planning meetings, they reviewed the timeline well in advance and brought a calm confidence that really helped put me at ease. We also opted for the design package, which was such a game changer. While I could have tried to handle decor myself, having someone bring the vision to life—and then take it all down afterward—saved me an incredible amount of time and energy. They say you should feel like the guest of honor at your own wedding, and that’s exactly how my husband and I felt. Even more importantly, our loved ones were also able to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about logistics. I’ll always be grateful for Joyfully Co and can’t recommend them enough to other brides. They are truly a gift, and I’m cheering them on always!

Working with Hanh from the Simply Elegant Group was simply the best decision we could have made for planning our son's wedding.  When my son asked me to help he and his partner plan their wedding, I started researching and was immediately overwhelmed.  From the first call with Simply Elegant Group to the last dance at the wedding, Hanh helped us find the very best vendors, saved us money and took all of the stress of planning and organizing off of our shoulders.  Hanh was professional, experienced, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.  Hanh's work and attention to detail made it "the best wedding ever" according to all of our guests.  I would absolutely recommend the Simply Elegant Group if you want to get the best value, the best ideas, the best vendors and enjoy your wedding.

The Get Together Events Co.

Madison, TN
  • Offers 2 services

The Get Together Events Co. is your month-of wedding and event coordination company, offering affordable planning services, peace of mind and damn good times to New York, Nashville, Chicago and beyond. No two events are the same, so the The Get Together Events Co. process is uniquely crafted to suit each of our client’s needs…

The Get Together Events Co. (TGT) was the easiest and best (after saying 'yes'!) decision of our wedding planning process. We worked closely with Lauren (founder) until she did the "official hand-off" with our onsite manager, Kate, a couple of days before our wedding once all final details were in place. Kate had been included in all communications leading up to this and she didn't miss a beat. The hand-off was seamless! The spreadsheets, checklists, vendor emails and phone calls—everything generated by TGT—was so incredibly helpful in keeping us on track and not overwhelmed. They really helped us to be able to enjoy the last few weeks before our wedding by managing all of the vendor questions and final set-up details. Lauren's upbeat, friendly personality was wonderful as well! she could always put a smile on my face and made us laugh. On wedding day, Kate was our manager and Kristen her coordinator. There could not have been 2 more wonderful, sweet, attentive, helpful, thorough and just plain awesome people to be there overseeing everything like the magical angels that they are. They were both so helpful to my husband and me separately in the morning while getting ready, all through the day and night with making sure everything made it back to our hotel room...including packaging up food for a late night snack! They managed running our rehearsal with military precision and kept us on track time-wise throughout the wedding. We have no idea if there were mishaps "behind the curtain" as everything appeared to run seamlessly. I could list 1,001 other things they took care of for us. Our wedding was simply the best day of our lives (it's cliche for a reason!), and I'm confident in saying that it was so because TGT was there by our sides. Lauren, Kate, Kristen and TGT will always hold a special place in our hearts as we are so, so thankful for them. We cannot recommend The Get Together Events Co. highly enough. Thank you, TGT!

Lizzie jumped in as our wedding planner midway through the planning process and didn’t miss a beat! She made every part of the process so seamless. She really took the time to get to know us and our style/preferences and recommended vendors that fit our needs perfectly. Every request was met with a positive attitude and a willingness to make anything work. It was so nice to have a roadmap and to be able to focus on the big picture, knowing that all of the little details were being taken care of.

We bring a calm presence, deep expertise, and an obsession with making sure things run smoothly—so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with the Oso team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We actually hired them about 2 years in advance, so we got to work with them for a super long time! One of the biggest reasons that we wanted to hire Oso specifically was because of their decor inventory, which was 100% available to use at no additional cost with their full wedding planning package. Weddings can be extremely wasteful in terms of decor, so it was nice to be able to consciously be a bit more sustainable! We honestly ended up hiring Oso for so many other services as well — Michelle did an amazing job with our signage, they also have a great photobooth package, and Michelle’s sister owns Bobaholics so we were able to get a discounted rate for a boba bar! It really felt like a one-stop shop :) Michelle, Gen, Raymundo, and Gennie were all so helpful in coordinating with vendors and giving us wedding advice/guidance - working with them also gave us confidence that we weren’t missing any important steps or details of wedding planning. They were also available by text/email anytime, and they always responded extremely quickly, which I so appreciated! Talking to them felt more like talking to friends who were super passionate about wedding planning! On the actual day of the wedding, my husband and I felt so stress-free because of Oso - they seamlessly guided everyone to stay on schedule, had walkie talkies to communicate with each other, and constantly asked us if we needed any food/water/etc. They took care of passing out our vendor tips, and set up all of our decor with time to spare! When people ask us for wedding planning advice, we always say that hiring a planner was the best decision we made - specifically Oso Events! They are truly the best at what they do :) We could not be more grateful to them!

Evviva made planning our wedding so easy. Kat and her team are so amazing to work with and made our day run seamlessly. We also had them do design and Kat totally brought my vision to life. Kat is so creative and made our wedding more beautiful than we could even imagine. She took my Pinterest inspo and thought of details that I never have come up with myself such as drink menus, a seating chart and beautiful invitations that matched my vision perfectly. I could not recommend Kat and her team enough. If you’re on the fence, hire them! It will be one of the best decisions you make in the wedding planning process.

Miranda and Ariel were absolutely incredible! I hired Miranda as my day-of coordinator, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment I shared my vision and all the little details I had dreamed of, she brought everything to life exactly as I had imagined. I simply provided my ideas, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was by my side the entire day calm, attentive, organized, and always one step ahead. Her presence alone brought me so much peace and allowed me to truly enjoy every moment of my wedding. Nothing was overlooked, and every detail was executed beautifully. Miranda’s professionalism, kindness, and dedication are unmatched. I truly could not be happier with how everything turned out.

They are worth every penny, and I am forever grateful for everything they did to make our day so perfect!

I hired Katie as my assistant planner for an August wedding. This is our second time working together on a wedding. She is easy to work with and is on her A game. Her emergency kit saved the entire day. Hiring Katie is a must, and she loves color as I do when planning events. We actually have another wedding booked together in October, and I am looking forward to the next time I work with her.

Kaci Danae Events

San Jose, CA
  • Offers 5 services

I’ve always been inspired by the strong, ambitious women in my life who built successful small businesses in the hospitality industry — from restaurant owners and bakers to caterers and florists. Growing up surrounded by their entrepreneurial spirit, I was motivated to follow my own path and create something meaningful in the world of events. ​ After spending two years working as a Wedding Coordinator at the Westin, the pandemic hit and forced a pause on hotel weddings. That unexpected turn of events only fueled my determination to turn my passion into a full-time business. And so, Kaci Danae Events was born.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaci is an angel! She checks every box you could want in a wedding coordinator. She is communicative, thoughtful, organized, and experienced. More than that, she is warm, understanding, and reassuring. When our work became very stressful before our wedding, she took over and reassured us we were on track. When we were missing a few last-minute details, she handled them (even picking up our cakes from Whole Foods, day-of). Our other vendors were telling us how impressed they were by her and her great communication. She was our best wedding vendor decision, 6/5 stars, look no further for a wedding coordinator!

BW Studio+Events is a Chicago-based event coordination and planning group serving Chicagoland and surrounding suburbs. The Studio focuses on intimate weddings with unique flair and lots of personal touches. Blair founded BW Studio after hosting a number of non-profit events and finding herself completely immersed in the process. Once she realized her knack for event organization and planning, the studio was quickly born.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Blair was probably the best decision we made during the process of planning our wedding. My husband and I both work 9-5 corporate jobs, and we knew that we needed to bring someone onto our “wedding team” that would help keep us on track with all of the milestones during the wedding planning process. From the get-go, over our 15-month planning period, Blair was always transparent about timing and was a master of following up regarding timelines, without ever badgering us or coming across as controlling. She spent over an hour discussing budgets with us and our families early on, to make sure that everything we planned stayed in the budget range that we’d all agreed upon. This was especially helpful during our venue and vendor selection process. She helped us find that blew our socks off, and also found us the most wonderful florist (@thelocalpetaler) who was able to provide us way more bang for our buck than any florist we’d be able to find on our own - a huge advantage. While we had our venue already picked out, Blair was able to recommend a food and beverage package with an available catering company that fell delivered us fantastic food and a premium beverage package that fit our budget. 

Leading up to the wedding, Blair was also a master in helping us coordinate our wedding day planning including family photos, transportation e.g. coordinating our bus between multiple hotels and the venue while making it easy for us to just focus on ourselves. The peace of mind that Blair brought us throughout the planning process, week of, and day of our wedding made having our wedding a cakewalk rather than a headache. Spending the money to hire Blair was the best decision we could’ve made for our wedding!

So thankful to have worked with Ceremonies by Chrissy! I feel that any wedding will have its fair share of hiccups, but having a strong coordinator will be what makes the difference between a smooth or stressful day! She knew all my wants, she understood my vision, and we pivoted throughout the day as needed. But she always checked in with me and kept it REAL when I asked for it! She is organized, and provides you with everything you need to stay on track while planning wedding details. We had numerous phone calls, and a final review of everything 2 weeks before the wedding. She was always open to texting about any small details that came up or if i wanted to run ideas by her. She truly is the best! I needed a day of coordinator so that things would not fall on the responsibility of my family - and I'm happy to say that they were able to enjoy my wedding as much as anyone else did! Chrissy ran our rehearsal smoothly, which means our bridal party was prepared and everyone understood there marks - which helped tremendously! On the day of it's super important to have someone communicating with venue staff while keeping things on track - and she still made sure that we ate along with our guests and kept our signature drinks full the entire time! My family planned a surprise mariachi band - and this was only possible with her help! I knew how every detail and every moment was lined up for the day, so I'm surprised they were able to get this done without me knowing. But I do love that she made it all possible! Thank you for EVERYTHING Chrissy! 3

From the moment we booked Fresh Capsule Vibes LLC for photography and day-of coordination, Jess became our go-to person for everything, keeping us updated constantly and handling all vendor communication so we didn't have to worry. Her team showed up on our wedding day ready to tackle anything that came our way—when our DJ arrived unprepared, they jumped in and fixed it, and when our venue coordinator kept pushing unapproved changes, they found creative solutions without missing a beat. What really stood out was how her entire team became like family to us, celebrating the good moments and working through the obstacles with genuine care.

About wedding planners

How much does a wedding planner cost?

On average, a full-service wedding planner can cost between $3,000 and $10,000. It depends on where you live and where you’re getting married. Planners in areas with high costs of living, like New York City and San Francisco, may charge upwards of $20,000. If you’re having a destination wedding, consider using a planner local to the area—you’ll avoid paying extra for travel, accommodations, and meals. Day-of coordinators cost less. They may have a flat fee between $1,000 and $5,000, or charge hourly. Always ask about pricing up front so nothing comes as a surprise later.

What do wedding planners do?

Think of wedding planners as jack-of-all-trades experts when it comes to weddings. Many offer different levels of service to meet your needs. If you just want day-of coordination, for example, your planner will be there to make sure your ceremony and reception go off without a hitch. This may mean setting up vendors or directing your wedding party and guests to make sure everyone is where they need to be at the right time. On the other end of the spectrum, full-service planning may involve:

  • Starting the planning far in advance
  • Budget management
  • Coordinating with your venue
  • Recommending vendors and negotiating contracts
  • Staying on top of trends and making suggestions
  • Ironing out all-important last-minute details
  • Running interference with family members if conflict arises
  • Making a schedule and ensuring everything runs smoothly
  • Executing on your vision, from the rehearsal dinner to the reception

Should we get a wedding planner?

Planners are great resources and can make planning your wedding much less stressful. If you’ve got the budget, a wedding planner is well worth the investment. Planners offer different service levels at varying price points. Choose the amount of help and cost that makes the most sense for you. At the bare minimum, you need someone (hired or delegated) to help manage the event day-of so you will be able to enjoy yourselves without worrying about too many logistics. If you decide to enlist a friend or family member to take on this role, keep in mind that this person will need to prioritize your needs over their own, and will no longer be attending or enjoying the wedding simply as a guest.
