โ€œWorking with Destify was a game-changer for our destination wedding. From day one, Alexandra Garcia made us feel heard and supported through every decision, even stepping up to help us navigate late cancelations with grace and compensation that showed they truly cared about our experience. Her recommendations led us to The Hard Rock Los Cabos, a stunning venue that exceeded our wildest expectations and gave our celebration the luxury backdrop we'd dreamed of. Alexandra and the entire Destify team stayed in constant touch leading up to the big day, catching details we would've missed and ensuring everything ran smoothly.

โ€œHaylie with Heirloom Event Company was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized and consistently thought of details we never would have considered on our own. Leading up to our November 2025 wedding, we met weekly, and Haylie made sure we had everything in place to create the wedding of our dreams. I had a clear vision of what I wanted our wedding day to look like, and Haylie went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was executed perfectly. There is truly no way we could have done this ourselves, especially during the week of and the day of the wedding. Haylie coordinated all of our vendors, set up the decor, and made sure I was taken care of throughout the entire day. As a bride, having that level of support made the experience so much calmer and more enjoyable. Our guests are still talking about how beautifully everything flowed and how perfectly executed the day was. That would not have been possible without Haylie and her incredible team. There is no way I could have planned or had the wedding of my dreams without Heirloom Event Company, and I cannot recommend them enough.โ€

โ€œWe had the absolute pleasure of working with Jillian Bartel as our wedding coordinator at the Ace Hotel in Brooklyn in October 2025, and she was incredible from start to finish. Jillian was attentive, organized, and always on top of every detail, making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the entire day.

Hello there! My name is JayLynn. I am a romantic at heart, a lover of LOVE and a collector of daydreams. My journey in this one of a kind industry started a decade ago.

My versatile background empowers me to be a knowledgeable resource and to add value to my clients experience through all stages of the planning process. I am a licensed, certified and insured event planner with coordination experience across all industries- Weddings have just captured my heart!

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œJaylynn is a superwoman. No task is too small for her, and no idea is too big to execute. Her partial planning services were invaluable in the year leading up to our wedding โ€” she helped us find the right vendors, talked through every decision with us, and made the whole process feel manageable. On the day itself, she ran our logistical nightmare of a wedding (20 vendors!) like a well-oiled machine, handling all vendor communication and keeping everyone on timeline without breaking a sweat. When our rentals arrived late, she resolved it calmly and efficiently โ€” I didn't even stress. Her assistant Diana personally escorted me and my father to the aisle, and at our Chinese tea ceremony the day before, Jaylynn was right there pouring tea and setting up the stage. We are endlessly grateful and will be singing her praises for the rest of our lives.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! (The photo is one I snagged when the groomsmen were getting photos taken, they used the space super well!)โ€

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

Blair founded BW Studio after hosting a number of non-profit events and finding herself completely immersed in the process. 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€

โ€œWorking with Hannah was one of the best parts of our wedding planning experience. We hired her for partial planning, and from the very beginning, she made everything feel so manageable and stress-free. She really took the time to understand our preferences and helped us find the perfect vendors that matched our vision and vibe. Hannah was always organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was hopping on frequent Zoom calls, keeping us on track with timelines, or replying to texts with thoughtful advice (even for the tiniest of questions). Her calm and kind energy made the whole process not only smoother but also more fun. One huge bonus: her team also offers wedding rentals! We rented candles, dรฉcor, and a large seating chart from them, which was such a lifesaver. We didnโ€™t want to deal with sourcing all of those items or figuring out what to do with them afterward, so being able to rent directly through her made everything so much easier. Our wedding day went so smoothly, nothing went wrong (or if it did, I had no idea, because Hannah was on top of everything!). I wouldn't change a single thing about it. It was truly perfect, and a big part of that is thanks to her. Now that the wedding is over, I honestly feel sad I wonโ€™t get to work with Hannah anymore! If you're even slightly on the fence about hiring a planner, do yourself a favor and reach out to Joyfully. They were such an essential part of making our day as amazing as it was.โ€

โ€œHiring Natalie as our month-of coordinator was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My only regret is not bringing her on for partial planning, because she was that incredible. I was extremely stressed throughout the planning process, but once we hit that one-month mark, Natalie completely transformed the experience. She consistently checked in when I fell behind on responses, took the lead in every vendor meeting, and offered thoughtful suggestions for our timeline and all the little details that truly matter. She is so sweet, friendly, and unbelievably on top of everything. I think she could sense how stressed I was about timing, and she constantly reassured me throughout the day that we were right on schedule, which I appreciated more than she knows. She followed every direction perfectly when setting up our dรฉcor and made sure the entire day ran SO smoothly. At the end of the night all our things were packed, organized and ready to be loaded in the car by my family. Natalie was the best addition to our day, and I am endlessly grateful we found her. 1000/10. Do yourself a favor and hire her! You will not regret it.โ€

โ€œMy fiance (now husband) and I worked with Tara for partial planning from March 2024-June 2025. We spoke with Tara early in the planning process and immediately knew she was the perfect planner for us! For starters, Tara is possibly the friendliest person you will ever meet. We could tell from our initial conversation that she knows her stuff - stuff we definitely would not have thought of or been prepared for. She answered every question we had throughout the planning process and helped us understand not only what would be the best decision for our guests, but what would help us keep our wedding authentic to us as a couple. When it looked like we would need to pivot on several things (umbrellas, rain plan, etc.) the week/day of our wedding, Tara kept us informed and kept us calm. From the first phone call we had with her to our grand exit, Tara handled everything with grace and ease. To put it plainly, Tara was the perfect fit for our wedding in every way. Working with Tara was by far the best decision we made throughout wedding planning. We are so grateful to her and the rest of the Premier Party Planners team for executing the best day of our lives. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, you do. If you think you want anyone other than Tara and Premier Party Planners, you don't!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€œFor my wedding, our venue required a day-of coordinator, which was the best thing that happened, because it allowed me to meet Mary Anna! When I met her on Zoom, I knew she was the right fit for us. Her kindness, her responsiveness, and her ability to answer any question you have (and there are so many!) make the overwhelming process of planning a wedding so much easier. I cannot recommend her enough, and would highly suggest hiring her for month-of coordination, as that last 30 days was such a whirlwind, and Mary Anna's constant communication - with me and with all our vendors - was priceless. She was an invaluable resource for all the questions I had throughout the planning process, she has experience with so many different vendors and venues, and she was a great support when things get stressful, as they inevitably do! On our wedding day, she was on top of everything; I literally could just get ready and be excited to get married, knowing everything was in her hands and taken care of. She is super smart, capable, organized, and the kindest person you'll meet. I don't know what I would have done without her; I know she probably had other weddings she was working on, but you would never know it - she will make you feel like you and your wedding is her top priority, because that's how she approaches her work. Our day went off without a hitch, and that is all due to Mary Anna's planning and organization. I can't thank her enough for all her hard work - she is amazing!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.
