    Mother of the Bride

    Diana and Jess are magical! My daughter’s wedding was absolutely perfect, and as the mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy every moment worry-free. Diana was wonderful about compiling details and information, keeping everything organized, and she and Jess directed everything down to the smallest detail on the wedding day. Thank you Diana and Jess for making everything come together so beautifully!

Our style is a blend of executive organization and boutique warmth. With over a decade of PNW expertise, we specialize in intentional celebrations that prioritize your experience over performance. As a mother-daughter team, we bring a unique multi-generational perspective; ensuring every detail is handled with confident poise and empathetic care. We love weddings rooted in timeless style and a strong sense of place. Our goal is to create a high-touch environment where you can remain entirely present as a guest at your own wedding.
Yes, we are a dedicated mother-daughter team. When you hire Hidden Hand Events, you gain two lead perspectives working in perfect harmony. While we utilize professional assistants for large-scale event execution, our core partnership ensures that your planning process is consistent, empathetic, and highly organized. We act as each other’s second set of eyes, providing a level of redundant support and confident leadership that single-planner firms simply cannot match.
We do. From rehearsal dinners to showers and everything in between, we are here to ensure every event tied to your wedding is beautifully executed and stress-free. If it needs a thoughtful timeline, attention to detail, and a calm, capable presence, we are your team. Our goal is to make your entire wedding planning experience seamless, joyful, and deeply memorable.
It really depends on the level of planning support you choose and how involved you would like to be in the process. Some couples prefer frequent check-ins and collaborative planning. Others are happy to hand off the details and let us take the lead. Either way, we will create a schedule that fits your needs and keeps everything on track. We value your time and make every meeting purposeful, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable.
We only take on one wedding per day to ensure our full attention is on you and your event. Every couple deserves our undivided focus, and we are committed to delivering a seamless experience from start to finish. If we book a weekend with multiple events, they are carefully timed and staffed so that each one receives the same level of care and detail. Quality always comes first.
To maintain the high-touch, empathetic service our couples deserve, we limit the number of events we accept each season. For Full-Service and Partial Planning, we recommend reaching out 12 to 18 months in advance to secure your date on our boutique calendar. For Wedding Management, 6 to 9 months is ideal. This ensures we have ample time to provide the meticulous, organized attention to detail that defines the Hidden Hand experience.
We believe the best plans include a confident strategy for the unexpected. Our role is to be the 'hidden hand' ensuring you never even know a challenge existed. We approach every event with a comprehensive Plan B and Plan C already in motion. From discreetly managing vendor pivots to adjusting timelines on the fly, we handle every detail with professional poise. We are your advocates and problem-solvers; protecting your peace of mind so that your celebration remains flawless, organized, and entirely stress-free.
Absolutely. One of the greatest values we provide is access to our curated network of top-tier PNW professionals. We don’t just provide a list; we offer organized introductions to vendors who align with your specific aesthetic, budget, and personality. From elite floral designers to sought-after photographers, we advocate for you to ensure your 'dream team' is as confident and professional as we are, resulting in a cohesive and flawless wedding day execution.
Our investment reflects the high-touch experience provided through our three signature offerings: The Full Management Suite; The Collaborative Partnership; and The Signature Management. We provide transparent starting rates for each level of service to ensure clarity from the start. Following a discovery call, we create a comprehensive, custom proposal tailored to the specific complexity and scale of your celebration. This ensures your investment is perfectly aligned with your needs; providing an organized and professional foundation for your wedding journey.
Definitely. We’re happy to collaborate with any vendors you’ve already booked. Our goal is to integrate seamlessly with your team, ensuring everyone communicates clearly and works toward the same vision.
We understand that life happens. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair and clear, with specific details outlined in our contract. We’ll always communicate openly to find the best solution if your plans change.
