Question 1

What is the difference between full-service, partial, and day-of coordination?

Accepted Answer

Full-service planning handles every detail from start to finish, including vendor selection, design, timelines, and wedding day execution. Partial planning is for couples who have started planning but need help finalizing details, coordinating vendors, and day-of logistics. Day-of coordination ensures your pre-planned wedding runs smoothly, with vendor management, timeline oversight, and problem-solving on your wedding day.

Question 2

How far in advance should we book your services?

Accepted Answer

For full-service planning, we recommend booking 9–18 months before your wedding. Partial planning typically begins 4–8 months out, and day-of coordination starts about 4–6 weeks prior. Destination weddings often require 12–18 months lead time.

Question 3

Do you help with wedding design and décor?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our packages can include event design, décor guidance, floor plans, color palettes, styling oversight, and vendor sourcing. We also offer design-only services for couples who just want help curating the aesthetic of their celebration.

Question 4

Do you work with vendors we’ve already booked?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We can coordinate with your existing vendors or recommend trusted partners if needed. Our goal is to make vendor management seamless and stress-free.

Question 5

How involved will we be in the planning process?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the package you choose. Full-service couples are guided at every step but remain in the loop for all major decisions. Partial planning clients stay involved for final decisions, while day-of coordination clients can relax knowing we handle all logistics and timelines.

Question 6

Do you travel for weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’re based in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and happily travel to Houston, New Orleans, and beyond. Travel fees may apply depending on location and logistics. Destination weddings are priced separately to account for travel, accommodations, and extended coordination.

Question 7

How do you make our wedding stress-free?

Accepted Answer

We treat every wedding as if it were our own, carefully planning schedules to avoid overlap and giving full attention to your day. From timeline creation to vendor management and day-of coordination, we handle the details so you can enjoy the celebration fully.

Question 8

Can you help with smaller weddings or elopements?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer tailored services for elopements and micro-weddings, including planning, design, vendor coordination, and day-of management for intimate celebrations of any size.

Question 9

Do you also plan other events, like showers or rehearsal dinners?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We love planning all the events that lead up to your wedding. From engagement parties and bridal showers to rehearsal dinners and bachelorette celebrations, we handle the details, design, and logistics so each event is seamless, stress-free, and memorable. Every celebration is treated with the same care and attention as your wedding day.

Question 10

How much time should we expect to spend with you?

Accepted Answer

The time you spend with us depends on the package you choose. Full-service couples typically meet monthly (more often as the wedding approaches), with additional calls and emails as needed. Partial planning clients usually have a few focused planning meetings and check-ins, while day-of coordination involves a final planning meeting 4–6 weeks before, communication/updates weekly (as needed) and full attention on your wedding day. Our goal is to provide as much support as you need while keeping the process stress-free.

Question 11

Do you take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend?

Accepted Answer

No. We take on only one wedding per day (and carefully limit weddings per weekend) so we can focus entirely on your celebration, giving every detail the attention it deserves.
