โ€œWe couldn't have made a better choice in using Heirloom Event Company to help us plan our wedding. Our planning timeline was only about 5 months, My husband and I lived in different countries and had to deal with the added stress of immigration visas on top of wedding planning. We wanted a planner who would understand our needs and someone we could trust to listen to our vision for the day and make it happen. Haylie was so easy to work with, always on top of deadlines and keeping us on track in the all stages of planning. She listened to our ideas and dreams and found vendors that suited and fit within budget. She found us an amazing coffee cart vendor after i said coffee would be awesome to have. We dreamed of it being a fairytale/ hobbiton vibes in the music, she found us a music duo who hit the brief perfectly. She helped us surprise each other the morning of and throughout the day. She communicated with vendors, understood the fine print in the contracts and would let us know what our responsibility was. She was so supportive throughout the whole planning stage, any questions we had she answered and even after the wedding, answering questions that only come up after the event has happened. Haylie was intentional, thoughtful and she helped us be at ease leading up to the wedding and day of. With family travelling from outside of the country, she made a simple document we could give to them to have all the info needed so they didn't ask us the day of. Haylie went above and beyond to make our wedding day our dream day and we cant thank her enough.โ€

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œI am so happy that I used Mostest to help me with my wedding. If you are on the fence about a day of coordinator, PLEASE make sure that you get one. Weeks leading up to my wedding I was becoming burnt out. My amazing coordinator, Arianna, did such an amazing job taking charge of getting my ducks in a row and also keeping everything running smoothly during my wedding day. I appreciate her so much! I also had an amazing content creator, Nicolette, who was so sweet and was able to pull together content through her own creative lense while still understanding my vision. I opted for a content creator instead of a videographer, and donโ€™t regret this decision at all. I was elated to receive my reels the next evening, and have watched them every day since. They are so good, and highlighted all of the happiest and most beautiful moments. Lastly, thank you to Katherine for her help with my SBB floral set up and return. Iโ€™m so pleased with Mostest. My best friend will also trust Mostest with her upcoming wedding this year, after seeing such a positive outcome.โ€

โ€œWe cannot recommend Katy and Coastal Coordinating enough! Looking back, I am SO glad we found them. They played such a huge role in making our wedding everything we dreamed of, and I truly donโ€™t know how we could have done it without them. We opted for month-of coordination, which really kicked off about two months before the wedding, and Katy was amazing every step of the way. We had some vendors selected already but for the few we had remaining, her team provided preferred vendors that really helped narrow down the search. Katy was incredible with communication, providing checklists and keeping us on track while always making us feel comfortable reaching out with any questions. As we got closer to the wedding, she took over vendor communication, finalized timeline details, coordinated insurance requirements, and handled all the little things that can easily fall through the cracks. As a pretty Type A person, I needed someone I could trust to bring my vision to life, especially with all the DIY details I put together. Katy created an easy-to-follow timeline for the weekend and helped with some of the last minute creative details as well. I went into our wedding feeling completely confident that she and her team understood my vision and had everything under control. On the wedding day, Katy and her team were incredible. They coordinated all our vendors, kept everything on schedule, and handled every detail seamlessly. Seeing our ceremony and reception spaces come to life was amazing, and knowing the team handled everything behind the scenes allowed us to enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. Katy and her team were also so reassuring and easy to communicate with throughout the process. From our rehearsal to checking on us while we were getting ready, she made us feel taken care of every step of the way. Because of her and her team, I was able to completely unplug from the planning and hosting responsibilities and truly enjoy being the bride. Hiring Coastal Coordinating was honestly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Katy brought my vision to life even better than I could have imagined, and I am so grateful for everything she and her team did. If youโ€™re considering them, BOOK THEM! I truly cannot imagine having anyone else coordinate our wedding. Thank you, Katy, for helping make our day so special!โ€

โ€œHiring Hannah as our day-of-coordinator was hands down the best vendor decision we made and the top piece of advice weโ€™ll be giving any friends planning a wedding. We were honestly on the fence about whether we even needed a coordinator, but after our first call with Hannah, we felt totally affirmed in our decision to hire her. Sheโ€™s so easy to talk to- friendly, quick, responsive, and just on top of it. She helped us iron out our timeline, calmed any logistical worries, and gave us the space to actually enjoy the week leading up to the wedding (and the day of!). I loved that she came to the rehearsal so our friends and family could put a face to her name too. She had thoughtful suggestions, executed everything perfectly, and kept our reception running on time seamlessly. And the little things made such a big difference- she brought food from our cocktail hour while we were taking photos, made sure we got our dinner served first, and even kept drinks coming to us. 10/10 recommend- Hannah is a total pro and weโ€™re so thankful we had her!โ€

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!

โ€œComplete 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 usโ€”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 our very first call, to some exciting design meetings, to many many emails, ending in our perfect day full of magic, we were truly in the best hands. She and her team will help you uncover your vision, and send you to people they trust to help make it real. The sooner you book, the easier your wedding planning will be! They have vetted some amazing vendors, and won't suggest ones to you that aren't the vibe/budget/etc that you are going for. You don't have to guess, or consult with multiple wrong choices just trying to narrow down your options! And when hiccups inevitably arise, they are in your corner and fighting as hard as is necessary. Between 2 hurricanes and venues not having power, the stress was real leading up to our day. Delaney helped me navigate all of it confidently, and handled everything I couldn't.

I think one of the most unique things about Carina is how she puts her EVERYTHING into making your vision come true. She sat down and HAND-WROTE every single name card (200!!!) because I liked an idea she had. She showed up to my rehearsal dinner with a bouquet for me that she stopped and made herself just so I could have something for that night. Day of was no different, honestly it was almost sad because I knew I wouldn't get to have my fun meetings with her anymore (luckily we are now good friends so I get to do that either way!!)

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!!โ€

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!

โ€œO.M.Gee Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding.

The quality of their work and value was top-notch - they were extremely professional, paid close attention to every detail, and ensured everything was executed quickly and to the highest standard. Allie in particular made our day absolutely perfect, taking care of all the important things so we could just enjoy ourselves. We couldn't have done it without her, and everything was executed exactly how we had dreamed. We are so grateful to the O.M.Gee Events team for making our special day truly unforgettable.โ€

โ€œLoved 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 โ€œshowโ€ 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 canโ€™t thank her enough for contributing to our special day.โ€

Working out of Arlington, VA, the Coordinated Collective provides day-of coordination for couples who have otherwise organized their own wedding. Aiding couples in the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, the women of this company have a wealth of knowledge and experience organizing weddings in all sorts of venues and design. Owned by Jaโ€™el Mendez, this team of experts brings the final touch needed to make sure you get hitched without a glitch! The initial planning is done by the clients, meaning that couples choose their own vendors and have the freedom to design their own wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œHiring The Coordinated Collective was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Every single person we interacted with was incredible, starting with Jaโ€™el the owner, who was amazing from start to finish. She is warm, organized, thoughtful, and we felt see was genuinely invested in us. From our first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. Our day-of coordinators, Liz and Blair, were absolute stars. They just got us. Throughout the planning process, they provided steady guidance, answered every question, andโ€”when we had concerns about potential issues with other vendorsโ€”gave us thoughtful, grounded advice and real encouragement. As we approached the wedding, Liz and Blair stepped in to manage the scheduling of the countless moving parts of our wedding day. They helped address issues before they became problems, and resolved most problems before they became crises. Their communication and stress management were unparalleled. They kept us informed whenever we needed to know something and shielded us from anything we didnโ€™t need to be bothered with. I referred back to Blairโ€™s meticulously documented recap emails from our planning meetings so many times during planning - no idea how anything would have gotten done without those! We always felt like they were firmly on our team. Their presence throughout those final weeks kept us calm and confidentโ€ฆ despite the best attempts of some of our vendors and family! And then the wedding day itselfโ€ฆ flawless. Truly flawless. They executed the day with precision, grace, and warmth. They handled countless details behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. At one point during dinner, I (the bride) leaned over to my mom to ask if she had floss because I had food stuck in my teeth, and before I could finish my sentence, Liz promptly whisked me away to a back room where I found myself suddenly in front of a mirror with a toothpick in hand! The level of support and preparation during the pre-wedding stages was above and beyond what we ever expected. Our families and friends are still raving about how fantastic they were on the day-of. We also decided to add on content creation with Teri late in the process, and we are SO glad we did. She was amazingโ€”funny, kind, unobtrusive, and everywhere at once without ever feeling like a camera was in our faces. A couple of days after the wedding, we received our raw video dump, and it is worth every single penny. Iโ€™ve spent hours reliving the day through all the behind-the-scenes moments she captured with our guests, family, and wedding party. She didnโ€™t miss a thing. We canโ€™t wait to see the short-form content she creates, but honestly, the raw footage alone already exceeded our hopes. We are genuinely obsessed with this team. The Coordinated Collective is thoughtful, professional, communicative, creative, and deeply committed to making your wedding experience exceptional from beginning to end. If youโ€™re considering hiring them, donโ€™t hesitate for a second. They were truly the best decision we made, and we are endlessly grateful.โ€

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 youโ€™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 youโ€™re having a destination wedding, consider using a planner local to the areaโ€”youโ€™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 youโ€™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.
