โ€œSo, I proposed. That was the easy part. Sheโ€™s all that and then some. I got blessed on this one. When she said yes, it wasnโ€™t just yes, it was ABSOLUTELY. Say less. Now hereโ€™s where it gets real. Iโ€™m not exactly the โ€œgo with the flowโ€ type, but somehow, some way, I ended up winning twice. She agreed to a destination wedding. Yeah, letโ€™s go ahead and call that what it is, a major victory. Enter Destify. Options on options. Locations everywhere. And people who actually get it. They understand weddings, they understand brides, and they even made space for a groom who wanted to be more than just โ€œshow up in the right color and smile.โ€ You know what I mean. From picking the date, to locking in the resort, to all the details in between, they made what could have been overwhelming feel smooth. Let me give credit where itโ€™s due: Jasmine โ€” the truth. Always had us. Never left us hanging. Tikva โ€” a special kind of patience (and we needed that). Michelle and Kiki โ€” thank you for getting us started the right way. And even the guy behind the website support, next level. Bottom line, most fellas set it, forget it, and show up. I wanted to be involved. And throughout this whole process, my fiancรฉe and I have felt supported, excited, and taken care of. Weโ€™re officially riding the Destify wave. And when we land on the shore of this marriage, best believe Iโ€™ll be back with another shout out.โ€

โ€œHaylie and her team are absolutely incredible to work with. I very quickly got overwhelmed with wedding planning and needed some extra help. Haylie was patient with me as we had several consult calls before we officially booked. She immediately felt like a friend and someone I could trust. I am a type A person and felt nervous to not have total control over the wedding planning process or day. Haylie followed up on every detail, question, and thought. She never let any email or message go unanswered and was attentive to every detail. I felt very secure with her. She allowed me to relax and focus on the fun parts of wedding planning and she handled vendor coordination, logistics, and other things I never even thought of. She was always available and flexible during the planning process. The day of the wedding, everything was so smooth and there were no issues or hiccups. I fully credit Haylie and her team for the seamless day. She went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect. She is amazing, her team is amazing, and if you want a beautiful, seamless, and low-stress wedding planning process and wedding day, Haylie is your girl!โ€

โ€œSo 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!

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! (The photo is one I snagged when the groomsmen were getting photos taken, they used the space super well!)โ€

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. The wedding itself was so beautiful, full of love and such fun energy from my vendors (that she helped me find!), and no stress or worries about logistics because I had the greatest planner in the area.

BW Studio+Events is a Chicago-based event coordination and planning group serving Chicagoland and surrounding suburbs.

Once she realized her knack for event organization and planning, the studio was quickly born.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œWorking with Blair was probably the best decision we made during the process of planning our wedding. My husband and I both work 9-5 corporate jobs, and we knew that we needed to bring someone onto our โ€œwedding teamโ€ that would help keep us on track with all of the milestones during the wedding planning process. From the get-go, over our 15-month planning period, Blair was always transparent about timing and was a master of following up regarding timelines, without ever badgering us or coming across as controlling. She spent over an hour discussing budgets with us and our families early on, to make sure that everything we planned stayed in the budget range that weโ€™d all agreed upon. This was especially helpful during our venue and vendor selection process. She helped us find that blew our socks off, and also found us the most wonderful florist (@thelocalpetaler) who was able to provide us way more bang for our buck than any florist weโ€™d be able to find on our own - a huge advantage. While we had our venue already picked out, Blair was able to recommend a food and beverage package with an available catering company that fell delivered us fantastic food and a premium beverage package that fit our budget. โ€จโ€จLeading up to the wedding, Blair was also a master in helping us coordinate our wedding day planning including family photos, transportation e.g. coordinating our bus between multiple hotels and the venue while making it easy for us to just focus on ourselves. The peace of mind that Blair brought us throughout the planning process, week of, and day of our wedding made having our wedding a cakewalk rather than a headache. Spending the money to hire Blair was the best decision we couldโ€™ve made for our wedding!โ€

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 didnโ€™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 wasnโ€™t, but she had my back always!).

โ€œSummer Gilliam made sure our wedding vision happened - she makes the perfect coordinator because she really exceeded at getting our goals met. When we started planning with her, we were overwhelmed by a lot of the logistical details, rentals, and basically making our wedding come to fruition. Not only did Summer make us feel confident with our decisions, she guided us through the process and allowed us to voice/change anything we needed to. She is a peopleโ€™s planner!! 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€

โ€œWe don't even know where to start - Crystal from CrystalRose Events is simply the best person we could have ever found to plan our wedding. The moment we got on our initial Zoom call, we immediately bonded with her, and that amazing connection lasted through the entire process. Crystal is everything you could ever dream of in a wedding planner: she is extremely patient, highly organized, deeply understanding, and completely transparent. It is incredibly clear that she has years of experience under her belt. She thought of countess details we never would have even considered, and her deep familiarity with venues across Southern California - including our venue, Rancho Las Lomas - was an absolute lifesaver. We were super picky with every single aspect of our day, and Crystal never once complained. If anything, she completely embraced and enjoyed our creativity! She is also incredibly crafty, generously offering to handle specific wedding items herself to help us cut some corners where we could. Her pricing is extremely fair for the world-class service she provides. Honestly, we were so sad when the wedding was over just because it meant our time working with her was coming to an endโ€”that is truly how much of an impression she left on our lives. We have total trust in her and her team, and we cannot wait to reach back out to her for future events. Thank you, thank you, Crystal! You are truly a blessing to us all.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€œI recently had the opportunity to work with Allie of OMGee Events on a wedding, and she was such a pleasure to work with! ย Everything felt smooth, organized, and stress-free from start to finish. ย  As a DJ, I really value great communication and a well-run timeline, and she made the entire experience easy for everyone involved. Her energy was cheerful, professional, and supportiveโ€”not just for the couple, but for the vendor team as well. The event was beautiful, and I would absolutely love to work together again!โ€

โ€œI 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 Iโ€™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 Iโ€™m most upset about is now that itโ€™s over I donโ€™t get to talk to her anymoreโ€” 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 weddingโ€” Mary Anna is your girl. She will stop at nothing to make sure your day is absolutely perfect and I canโ€™t recommend her enough! THANK YOU SO MUCH MARY ANNA!!โ€

โ€œI canโ€™t say enough good things about Eli and LSC Planning. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she held it all together for me from start to finish. She has an incredible attention to detail - months before the wedding she casually asked me my boba order, and then surprised me with that exact drink right after we walked down the aisle. Itโ€™s little things like that, combined with her calm presence and flawless coordination, that made the day so special. On the big day, I didnโ€™t have to worry about a single thing - she made sure everything ran smoothly so I could actually enjoy my wedding.

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.
