“We cannot recommend Valerie enough! She was such a delight to work with, so kind and easy going while still being on top of everything. We weren’t sure what to expect in the planning process and instantly felt at ease with her. She was ahead of everything on our to-do list and thought of a million things we didn’t consider. On our wedding day, we didn’t lift a finger and Val ran everything so smoothly. They say something always goes wrong at a wedding, but in our case everything went even better than we’d hoped. If you’re looking for a planner/coordinator, Val is absolutely it!”

“Denise and her team were such a pleasure to work with! As a photographer I’m able to almost go on autopilot when working with Marryment because I know they are on top of every small detail! From the flatlay, to the dress, the fine details of the timeline, etc. This might be an overstatement, but it also seems that Marryment has a huge following from word of mouth and not from a bunch of mindless advertising.

My name is Jennette and I would love to be a part of your special day! I got into wedding coordinating on accident!

My company is named after my beloved doggie, Lilo. She is a boxer mix hound, and she is surely a sassy one! She is lively, fierce and isn't afraid to have a good time.

“Jennette is amazing! If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who truly understands both Vietnamese and American weddings—or weddings in general—don't hesitate to work with her. We booked her 2 Months of Coordination package, and she went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly. She was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and help us solve any problems along the way. She understood how stressful wedding planning can be and made us feel supported every step of the process. Jennette also provided rental décor and tea ceremony decorations, which were a huge help for our Vietnamese tea ceremony. Her experience with multicultural weddings made everything so much easier. She is incredibly organized and detail-oriented (definitely Type A!), which was exactly what we needed. My husband and I planned our wedding in just 4–5 months, and we truly couldn't have done it without her guidance. A special thank you to her assistant, Lucia, as well. Jennette and Lucia worked so well together, and their teamwork made our wedding day feel seamless. Their entire team was professional, organized, and always one step ahead, allowing us and our families to truly enjoy the day without worrying about the details. We highly recommend Jennette and her team to anyone looking for a coordinator who will keep your wedding organized, stress-free, and running seamlessly. Booking her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!”

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!

From the first meeting she was so fun, organized, efficient and asked questions I would have never thought to ask myself. She is THE reason the day kept moving as it should. She communicated with vendors so I didn’t have to which was such a weight lifted at the 60 day mark with so much going on. All of the vendors commented about how wonderful she was. She also has the perfect personality for this job- so incredibly nice but would also keep a friend or family member in line if it was needed (it wasn’t, but she had my back always!).

“I cannot recommend Gina enough! She was so on top of everything. She regularly checked in with us and made sure we were on schedule for an entire year leading up to our wedding, and I oftentimes forgot she had clients other than us because she was so attentive. Any time there was a problem with a vendor, Gina was swooping in to save the day. She got us upgrades with our hotel and truly had our best interest in mind throughout this entire process. I cannot imagine planning a wedding without her, she was such a huge help. I remember as I was arm and arm with my father, about to walk down the aisle I heard a baby start screaming (despite instructing guests that this was a child-free wedding). It was my turn to walk and I said, "Gina wait! there's a baby crying" and I'll never forget, she said "Don't worry, I put it in the elevator! You're good!"

“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!”

Hi! My name is Allie Gee and I am the owner of OMGee Events. Since we will be spending a lot of time talking and getting to know each other, I thought I would start by sharing some info about me: I'm a retired professional dancer & current dance teacher. I also modeled & have walked in NYBFW. I'm came out as queer later in life & have been loving every minute of it. I love dyeing my hair different colors. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
“My spouse and I had a weekend glamping wedding in Everett, PA. We started working with Allie only about 6 months before the event, so it was a quick turnaround for a lot planning, and we were SO impressed with how efficient she was. She understood our vision immediately (vibe, décor, etc.) and was so helpful in executing it. She handled all of the vendor contract/communication with ease (and there were a lot of them)! As a queer couple we felt SO comfortable with her and her gender-neutral approach (with terminology, making sure vendors are queer-friendly, etc.) in what is typically a pretty gendered industry. Over the weekend we had: a rehearsal dinner, a picnic softball game, a welcome party, the full wedding day/reception AND an after party silent disco, with hotels/shuttles/etc. All went off without a hitch thanks to Allie. We thrifted our dinnerware and had a U-Haul worth of DIY décor, which certainly didn’t make anyone’s lives easier, but again Allie saw the vision and managed it all with care. She even found some of our thrifted pieces while she was out thrifting herself. She was communicative and accessible throughout the entire planning process, even our guests complimented how on top of things Allie was. We really expected the weekend to be a little stressful (just inevitably due to it being our wedding), but the second Allie & Alyssa arrived onsite, neither of us was stressed the entire weekend. Even when things had to pivot quickly (rain caused us to have to move cocktail hour with live musicians indoors), it felt seamless. We also really appreciated how she made sure we had water, ate, had bathroom breaks and little moments for a breather throughout the wedding day. SO glad Allie was a part of the best weekend of our lives, we’d work with her again in a heartbeat and HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a planner!”

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. We could never thank her enough for all of the hard work she put into our day. She truly was a blessing!!!”

“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.
