From start to finish, Helen was professional and genuinely dedicated to making our day special.

When I used to think of wedding planners, I pictured the movie version — someone with a headset, barking orders, and obsessing over every tiny detail (I've never been married, so I literally had no idea what to expect!!) But oh boy, was I wrong. I’m not the type of bride who grew up pinning wedding ideas or dreaming about dresses. When I got engaged, I just knew I wanted to celebrate that year, especially since my parents have health challenges and I wanted them to be part of something truly special. But once you start planning a wedding, you realize how overwhelming it all is — the costs, the choices, the emotions. I’m a TV producer, so I know what it takes to plan a big event, but wedding planning is its own beast. It takes people like Haylie and Becca to make it all come to life. Becca, in particular, was like an extension of me. She was funny, caring, and endlessly patient. She offered thoughtful advice when I had no clue what I was doing, and she made sure everything ran smoothly even when I was emotionally overloaded. She’s also incredibly creative — she even hand-made beautiful pieces for me that made the day feel so personal. Haylie and Heirloom Event Co made sure my wedding wasn’t just organized, but deeply special. They’re not the stereotypical “crazy planners with headsets” — they’re a compassionate, talented team who balance professionalism with heart. They understand what matters most: letting you actually be present with your partner, your family, and your friends. My day was better than I could have ever imagined, and I’ll forever be grateful for them.

Working with Nicole and the team at Mostest was an absolute pleasure. From the moment we first reached out, Nicole was communicative, prompt, and incredibly kind in her responses to all of our questions. Her expertise and easygoing, calm demeanor really put our Type A brains at ease throughout the planning process. Nicole was great at handling the day-before and day-of coordination between our bridal party, vendors, and the venue, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

Our wedding was 4.27.25. Katy and Cayla are amazing! They did my sister's wedding 4 years ago and then mine this year! Thank you so much. They went above and beyond from helping with little details (like reviewing reception games) all the way to the big things like building décor the day before and day of. Both were proactive about issues and always had solutions. Without them my husband and I would not have been able to be guests at our own wedding. You can tell they have been doing this a long time because they are circumspect. Thank you both so much for supporting our big day. Great job Katy and Cayla!

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!

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.

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!)

Hiring Hannah was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding (other than marrying each other). We had a very DIY, non-traditional wedding at a summer camp, with a lot of moving pieces, and she somehow made the entire weekend feel seamless—even when there was plenty of chaos happening behind the scenes! From the moment our guests started arriving Friday, she was there. She stayed overnight at camp, helped with our rehearsal, welcomed and coordinated arriving guests, and made sure everyone knew where they needed to be. Before the wedding, she communicated with all of our vendors, connected everyone with the timeline and important details, and made sure everyone was on the same page before the weekend even began. On the wedding day, she was absolutely invaluable. She helped bring together all of the DIY pieces we had planned, from getting the dining hall set up and keeping the event flowing to coordinating vendors and making sure the timeline stayed on track. She was organized, flexible, incredibly calm under pressure, and always seemed to have a solution before we even realized there was a problem. And there were definitely problems! We had a significant catering issue that could have easily disrupted the evening, but she handled it completely behind the scenes. We had no idea the extent of what she was dealing with until later because she protected us from the stress and let us keep enjoying our wedding. That alone was worth its weight in gold. She was also just fun to have around. She brought great ideas, communicated clearly, adapted to whatever we threw her way, and had the kind of wedding expertise that immediately puts you at ease. Her ability to keep everyone calm, even when things were moving quickly, was incredibly impressive. Our wedding looked like a beautiful, effortless celebration—but there was a LOT happening behind the scenes to make it that way, and she was the person holding it all together. Hannah was worth every penny—and honestly, probably worth even more. We would 100% recommend her to any couple, especially anyone planning a DIY, unconventional, or complicated wedding. If you want to actually enjoy your wedding instead of worrying about logistics, hire her. You will not regret it!

Hiring Gina to be our planner was the first wedding decision we made and the best one! I cannot recommend working with her enough! Gina helped us put together a dream team of vendors, she was there for every question, every step of the way and most importantly helped us put on the MOST INCREDIBLE WEDDING EVERRRRR! We worked with Gina for a little over a year in our planning process and she was consistently on her game and just a pleasure to have in our lives. Gina made sure we were staying on task getting things done so we never felt overwhelmed. She took the pressure off by helping to narrow down vendors, setting up appointments, giving recs and just cut down on the hundreds of hours of research this would've taken on our own to do. She was clearly known and trusted by other vendors in the community and they all raved about working with her. When it came time for the wedding itself, Gina knocked it out of the park. She also brought Alexis as a day of coordinator to help who was fantastic to work with. Alexis made sure our rehearsal went off so smoothly and efficiently and was a reliable second set of hands on the wedding day. Throughout our time together, Gina made sure to get to know us as a couple, what made us comfortable, what our vibe was and that was so clear on our big day. Rain caused us to have a last minute change of our ceremony from outside to inside and she helped all the vendors to flip the space in record time. She decided what questions needed to come to me and which ones I didn't need to be bothered with because it would unnecessarily stress me out. As a bride, this was so important. We told Gina we wanted our wedding to be a giant dance party start to finish and her creative ideas and timeline helped us deliver just that. Gina went above and beyond, helping one of my bridesmaid's fix her hair at the last minute, finding us the most unique props for our dance floor (hello robot dinosaurs!) and even helped us to quietly remove a guest from the party who had had too much. Gina is THAT GIRL that every couple should have by their side at the wedding. She is so versatile, working with couples with a variety of tastes and styles and can fit in with any group. Our friends and family were all raving about her and we want to have another wedding, just to work with her again!

Connie & Justine were so incredibly helpful. In the beginning, I was crazy enough to think I may not need a DOC until I had my first phone call with Connie. You think you have everything together but they TRULY do. They do not miss a detail. From the beginning, they schedule your meetings together and give you an outline of what to work on and guide you on the goal timeframe to have certain things done. They give great recommendations when you feel lost or overwhelmed. We had a rehearsal the day before our wedding to set up decor and do a mock ceremony. They were there before us, already setting up decor and getting everything organized. They did great directing everyone & keeping the focus of a large wedding party. I also can’t say how amazing it is that they have decor you can rent for booking with them. That is UNHEARD of with all of the coordinators I looked at. Even the night before the wedding they were able to get last minute details that I had forgotten. The day of, Justine did amazing. She made sure to let you enjoy your day but also check in to make sure everything was running smoothly. I truly did not have a single thing go wrong the day of the wedding. And if something did, I’m sure Justine took care of it without me ever knowing. I also have to say that Connie worked closely with me even while her husband was battling a severe illness in the hospital. That type of dedication is truly admirable and there is no question that I could have had such a great day without them. Thank you ladies!! P.S.

Grace from SEG was such a pleasure to work with! Crazy to think we only met her twice in person. She was super helpful in communicating with vendors, sending over final floor plans and guest lists, and ensuring our vendors had everything they needed, as well as ensuring our actual wedding day went smoothly. We had absolutely zero snafus and loved how the venue was set up when we got there. She kept the night on track, always asked us what she could get us if she saw us empty-handed, herded the cats (aka our families), and ensured all our personal items got back to us. Thank you so much, Grace!

We booked Felic Events For our Content Creation and Photo Booth on our wedding day & I honestly wish we had came across them way earlier in our planning process because we would have 1000% booked them to be our planners for the entire wedding as well. Not only were they extremely professional, exceptional service and skill, but they were the sweetest and most intentional people throughout the planning process and especially on the big day. Natalie was with me and my bridesmaids most of the time while Hector was tending to the groomsmen which allowed them to not miss a special moment for either of us. They made sure we were hydrated, and constantly helping with literally anything we needed. Natalie truly helped me feel beautiful, calm and taken care of in the most otherwise chaotic moments. I could go on for DAYS about how amazing they are but if you want to have the most enjoyable wedding planning and wedding day, I truly recommend not waiting any longer and booking them now. It will likely be the best investment in your most special day!

Crystal and her team were phenomenal.  My wife Sara and I could go on and talk about their professionalism, attention to detail, responsiveness and problem solving all day long but I won’t drag the review on into an essay.  The fact of the matter is we came into our wedding day with an 80% solution to achieve our wedding goals and with the help of Crystal Rose Events (and the help of a few friends of ours) we were able to get to 100%.  And if I’m being honest we actually went over our actual guest list count so in reality we got 110% out of our wedding day!  Thank you for helping us make our special day a little bit more smooth!  - Krishn and Sara

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!

If I could leave O.M.Gee Events a 1000000 star review, I would! Allie and the team were amazing during the wedding planning process, for rehearsal, and on wedding day. Allie was there for my husband and I at every step. Allie made sure our day ran smoothly and helped us solve every obstacle! From meeting with each vendor, setting up and breaking down decor, and creating an awesome timeline, Allie and the team exceeded all expectations! I truly cannot imagine having a successful wedding without O.M.Gee Events. Thank you so much to Allie and the O.M.Gee team! We love you!!!

Working with Mary was an incredible experience from start to finish. She guided my wife and me through the entire wedding planning process with ease, answering every question we had (and there were a lot!). Her experience and expertise were evident in every step, and her advice helped us navigate areas we hadn’t even thought about. The month-to-month timelines she provided were a lifesaver. They were always well-paced and never overwhelming, giving us just the right amount of tasks to focus on each month. With me working full-time and my wife starting grad school and a part-time job, her timelines made everything so much more manageable. The website portal and her clear, consistent communication were also invaluable tools throughout the process. She always went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Beyond her professionalism, she is incredibly kind, supportive, and a true joy to work with. She was fantastic at coordinating with everyone involved, making sure every detail was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator and are so grateful for her help in making our day unforgettable. Highly recommend her to anyone planning their big day!

I honestly had the best day of my life because of Eli! From the very beginning, she made everything feel so easy and stress-free, which meant I could actually enjoy being a bride and soak in every moment of the process. She kept us on track without ever making things feel overwhelming, was super mindful of our budget, and always helped us through decisions when we felt unsure. We trusted her completely, her vision, her recommendations, and her team, and she truly delivered the most perfect wedding day for us. Beyond being an incredible planner, she’s someone we genuinely feel lucky to have met. It felt less like working with a vendor and more like having a friend by my side through it all. I can’t recommend LSC enough. Eli completely changed my perspective, having a wedding planner is a must, but having Eli is everything.

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.
