“Haylie and her team are absolutely incredible to work with. I very quickly got overwhelmed with wedding planning and needed some extra help. Haylie was patient with me as we had several consult calls before we officially booked. She immediately felt like a friend and someone I could trust. I am a type A person and felt nervous to not have total control over the wedding planning process or day. Haylie followed up on every detail, question, and thought. She never let any email or message go unanswered and was attentive to every detail. I felt very secure with her. She allowed me to relax and focus on the fun parts of wedding planning and she handled vendor coordination, logistics, and other things I never even thought of. She was always available and flexible during the planning process. The day of the wedding, everything was so smooth and there were no issues or hiccups. I fully credit Haylie and her team for the seamless day. She went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect. She is amazing, her team is amazing, and if you want a beautiful, seamless, and low-stress wedding planning process and wedding day, Haylie is your girl!”

“Anisha and the team at Mostest were an absolute joy to work with throughout our wedding planning process. Their communication style was funny, informative, quick, and concise, which was exactly what we needed as a scattered-brained couple planning a wedding in just 4.5 months. Anisha kept us task-oriented week by week, and her creative approach brought a ton of joy and laughter to the experience.

“We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.”

Imagine Thanksgiving. You're prepping the turkey, trying to find the fancy bowls, answering 1,000 questions from your fiance. Then the doorbell rings - you're letting in guests, taking their coats, trying to stop the dog from running out the door. Then SHOOT, the TURKEY! You sit down for dinner exhausted, you have one glass of wine, and then it's time to clean it all up. You realize you didn't even get to talk to your mom, or your brother you rarely see. Your wedding day shouldn't be like Thanksgiving. You should be able to enjoy every single second. With Complete, you CAN!

“Complete Weddings Events St. Louis made our wedding day feel effortless, even though we know how much work was happening behind the scenes. From start to finish, they communicated with us in a way that felt personal and fun, while also being incredibly thorough about every detail. On the day of, our coordinator wrangled so much to keep everything running smoothly and the staff weren't afraid to go with the flow when we needed them to. One of our favorite moments was watching our videographer take such good care of us—he even carried my plate at dinner so I could enjoy the moment without worrying about logistics. Their attention to detail and great vibes made our day really special, and we felt so supported the entire time. We'd recommend them in a heartbeat to any couple planning a wedding in St. Louis. The photographers and videographer were so fun when we were off doing our couple photos. The DJ and Photo Booth made the reception so much fun. It was such a great day! (The photo is one I snagged when the groomsmen were getting photos taken, they used the space super well!)”

“We selected Wilder Mind Events has our planners for our January 2026 wedding at Hotel Haya. Prior to this, I had been a quiet observer of their instagram account for nearly 5 years after sitting next to someone on a flight that recommended them. When my time finally came to plan a wedding, I knew without a question I wanted to go with Wilder Mind Events because I was constantly impressed with each wedding they shared on their account. After we finalized our venue and wedding date, I reached out and was elated they were available for our wedding date. For my review, (which is nothing but glowing) I’ll separate it into two parts: the first the pre-wedding and second the day of wedding. Pre-wedding: Having never planned a major event or wedding, I had no clue where to begin. We opted for the “Wilder” service which was the perfect amount of support we needed. Demi walked me through many check lists and helped me tailor my focus to bite size tasks to accomplish each month. As someone who easily gets overwhelmed, I appreciated having someone tell me what to prioritize. Another thing I found incredibly helpful was their creative vision. I could tell them bits and pieces of things I liked and didn’t like and they would steer me in a direction or help me narrow down options. When it came time to select the place settings, I was all over the place and terrified I would pick things that looked chaotic together and not have a cohesive look. Demi would thoughtfully lay options for me so I could get a sense of different options. It really helped me see things come together. Demi also helped us to maximize our budget, telling us that certain things weren’t necessary. For example, we didn’t need a fancy plate and a charger, but rather just the charger since we were having a plated meal. She had foresight of different things to think of that I would have never of known to do. They work with the best of the best and I knew if they were recommending a certain vendor, I knew they would be reliable, trustworthy, and also experts. Demi and Delaney were both enjoyable to work with and gave me a piece of mind and sense of ease throughout the entire planning process. I could not have done this without their support! Day of Wedding: My wedding day was absolutely perfect and this is largely because of Demi and the other assistants supporting her day of. The entire day went incredibly smooth from my perspective, but Demi was doing major behind the scenes work to coordinate a flawless execution. She dealt with our venue who only gave us 60 minutes to set up the entire event. Demi is very solution-oriented, so when she encountered setbacks, it never really seemed like a huge issue from my perspective. I appreciated this as I mentioned I tend to get overwhelmed. Some of my favorite details were: I always had a drink in my hand at the reception, my shoes and lipgloss were perfectly placed at our sweetheart table (I have no idea how they got them, but it was just the sweetest little thing that made me feel like a queen), they packed up all the personal items from the reception and had them stored in our room, and they even laid out flower petals on our bed for when we came back after the after party. They truly took care of every little detail. My wedding day was simply the best day of my life and while I don’t plan to get married again, if I would, I’d choose Wilder Mind Events again in a heart beat.”

“Working with Hannah was one of the best parts of our wedding planning experience. We hired her for partial planning, and from the very beginning, she made everything feel so manageable and stress-free. She really took the time to understand our preferences and helped us find the perfect vendors that matched our vision and vibe. Hannah was always organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was hopping on frequent Zoom calls, keeping us on track with timelines, or replying to texts with thoughtful advice (even for the tiniest of questions). Her calm and kind energy made the whole process not only smoother but also more fun. One huge bonus: her team also offers wedding rentals! We rented candles, décor, and a large seating chart from them, which was such a lifesaver. We didn’t want to deal with sourcing all of those items or figuring out what to do with them afterward, so being able to rent directly through her made everything so much easier. Our wedding day went so smoothly, nothing went wrong (or if it did, I had no idea, because Hannah was on top of everything!). I wouldn't change a single thing about it. It was truly perfect, and a big part of that is thanks to her. Now that the wedding is over, I honestly feel sad I won’t get to work with Hannah anymore! If you're even slightly on the fence about hiring a planner, do yourself a favor and reach out to Joyfully. They were such an essential part of making our day as amazing as it was.”

“Hiring a wedding planner is one of the first decisions we made during the wedding planning process. We needed a planner that knows how to stand on business and deal with logistics for a ginormous crowd (300), but also be someone that can vibe with us because they'll be dealing with all our shenanigans during the planning process on the day of the wedding. We went through a handful of wedding planner consultations before we met with Carina and after meeting her - it was definitely wedding-planner-love at first sight! And it was the best decision we made! During the year long planning process, Carina was able to lay out the whole process so we never felt rushed. She also designed our whole wedding beautifully, because neither I nor my now husband have a single artistic bone in our body. Aside from her impeccable planning skills, she is just a delightful person to be around who sincerely just loves what she does and bringing her couples vision to life (while staying reasonably under budget). She took what is usually a stressful process and made it as fun as you can make wedding planning. My now husband and I didn't think there was any way we could have our 300 Vietnamese wedding without any major bumps (just due to the sheer number of people), but thanks to Carina and her wedding magic, we had the most beautiful perfect day! We couldn't have had our perfect day without her!”

My favorite genres of music are disco, funk, & pop music. My spouse & I love to travel & have visited 9 countries so far. There's no such thing as too many house plants. I have a cat (Filly) & a dog (Finn). I can't wait to get to know you!

“When we stumbled upon Allie’s business card in our favorite local coffee shop, we had no idea we were finding a hidden gem. She and her team were absolutely incredible. Always patient, extremely organized, and solution oriented, they made sure our wedding went flawlessly. We, alongside our bridal party and family, cannot thank them enough. Always with a smile on her face and willing to help with anything Allie is amazing! She made our wedding planning and wedding weekend as stress free as possible, especially when we ran into some hiccups with one of our vendors the week before. Thank you again! We are forever grateful.”

“Summer Gilliam made sure our wedding vision happened - she makes the perfect coordinator because she really exceeded at getting our goals met. When we started planning with her, we were overwhelmed by a lot of the logistical details, rentals, and basically making our wedding come to fruition. Not only did Summer make us feel confident with our decisions, she guided us through the process and allowed us to voice/change anything we needed to. She is a people’s planner!! The day of - she had everything scheduled and was on top of everything - from last minute decorations, set up, working with all of the vendors, etc. She is fantastic. She is completely professional, courteous, and works well with everyone. We love Summer!!”

She set up all of our decor, packed everything up, made sure we were hydrated and fed. Not to mention all of the things she did behind the scenes that we may never know about.

She communicated what she needed from me and asked me what did I expect from her to help make the day absolutely perfect. I never felt like I had to chase her. She was always on top of things and makes sure you’re on top of things as well. Her number one concern is to make sure the bride doesn’t worry about anything and she did just that. Bell and her team were nothing short of professional, executing every detail I envisioned and so much more. She truly goes the extra mile, and the decor was beautiful! Before booking Bell, I thought I could plan my wedding myself, but I’m so glad that I didn’t, because my day would never have flowed as smoothly without her and her team.

“Loved working with Allie as part of her partial planning package. Leading up to our wedding, she was very dutiful in organizing (and staying on top of) our vendors to ensure everything was in order for our wedding at The Howey Mansion in Howey-in-the-hills, FL. She was very resourceful the day before our wedding, handling and transporting all of our intricate wedding details. She even went above and beyond in handling our signage with care, enough so that she had to fix a few things for us to ensure they were “show” ready. It was extremely appreciated and clear that she really cared about our big day and wanted it to be perfect. Something that really stood out to me was how she handled my anxieties, always keeping me at ease and letting me know that she had it under control. I can’t thank her enough for contributing to our special day.”

“Jennifer and her team were involved with our pre-wedding planning and handled coordination day-of, and I’m so glad we chose her for our special day. Jennifer was responsive, attentive, and wonderful to work with overall. We had over 170 guests with a large number of vendors, and just 8 months to plan everything. I’ll be honest, this event would not have been possible without her. She helped keep planning organized and on time, lead the charge on creating the timeline and coordinating scheduling with all the vendors, and was always there to answer questions, give recommendations, and handle last minute changes as they arose. On the day of the wedding, she and her team did a wonderful job setting up, coordinating with the venue/vendors, taking care of us and our guests, and keeping the event running smoothly and on time. One important note is her team stayed late to help with tear down, which is something they did not have to do but did anyway. We really appreciated that and it shows the dedication her and her team have for what they do. They were great to work with, highly competent, and I would highly recommend WBJF.”

“I would give 500 stars if I could!! Let me preface by saying I did not hire a planner so I was planning our wedding totally by myself. It was so hard and stressful until I met Mary Anna! She helped me SO much. I can without a doubt say I would not have had such a gorgeous and flawless wedding without her. Mary Anna single-handedly made sure our wedding day went by smoothly and perfectly!! Even when the inevitable things went wrong (as I’m sure they always do), she solved them quickly (and beautifully)! Mary Anna will do literally ANYTHING in her power to make sure your day ends up exactly as you want it! She is absolutely the person you want in your corner on your big day. I was so extremely stressed out the entire morning of and while she was busy literally putting the wedding together, she still found time to come up and check on me several times. She reminded me about important things I might forget, made sure we had drinks brought to us as soon as the ceremony was wrapped up, and somehow she wrangled all the rowdy groomsmen and got them in line! I think the thing I’m most upset about is now that it’s over I don’t get to talk to her anymore— I truly felt like she was my best friend! I could go on and on about how phenomenal she was but I will leave it at this: If you want someone who is truly in your corner and actually cares about you and your wedding— Mary Anna is your girl. She will stop at nothing to make sure your day is absolutely perfect and I can’t recommend her enough! THANK YOU SO MUCH MARY ANNA!!”

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.
