From day one, the team at Destify destination wedding specialists communicated well and responded quickly to all of my questions and concerns. They truly listened to my wants, needs, and priorities, and delivered a high-end, transparent experience that ensured the best care for my wedding day. Destify made it easy for my guests to book and pay slowly with zero interest, which was a huge help.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Your experience with Mostest will highly depend on your assigned planner. Fortunately Mostest allows you to request a switch if it’s not a fit. I was originally paired with a coordinator who was not as proactive/did not project confidence and ability to guide. Mostest was super accommodating with getting me reassigned, replacing my original planner with Lanise within a day of me contacting them. Everything was smooth sailing from there on out! If you’re in Houston I highly recommend Lanise as a month-of coordinator! She consistently went above and beyond leading up to and on the day of my wedding. She is professional, organized, confident, and creative. I am a very Type A person, so it was important to me to have someone I could really trust with the details. Lanise sent detailed recaps with action items after each of our weekly meetings, was available over text when I had questions, smoothly handled vendor communications and even some family coordination for speeches, conducted venue visits, and did an AMAZING job decorating and keeping things moving on the day of. I came in with a pretty detailed vision and provided mockups of my table settings and special decor, but Lanise truly understood the assignment and executed it with such care and precision. I was blown away when I walked into the venue. She did not miss a detail! She was also just a fun and reliable presence throughout the night and even took what ended up being some of our favorite photos for us on her phone. Highly recommend!!!

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!

Natalia was our month-of coordinator and she did SUCH a great job! A couple weeks before our 1-month mark, she took over all of the coordination, which took a lot of stress off of our plate. She was super communicative and reassuring while we were panicking about potential inclement weather. She also did an amazing job setting up our tables and decor, and was so on top of things the whole time.

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. That tells me one thing that is most important for any planner to have with couples…Trust! Every couple knows undoubtedly that their day is in great hands with Marryment!

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!)

I truly can’t recommend Hannah enough! From start to finish, she made sure every detail of our wedding day was handled seamlessly. I planned the wedding myself and originally debated whether a day of coordinator was necessary—but looking back, I genuinely can’t imagine doing it without one… especially Hannah. What stood out most was how she never made us feel like just another client. She treated our wedding day with so much care and intention, as if it mattered just as much to her as it did to us. She also thoughtfully included our key family members throughout the process (while always respecting our preferences and boundaries), which made everything feel even more personal and special. One of the sweetest surprises was receiving a gallery of candid photos she captured throughout the day—little moments we otherwise would have missed. If you’re considering booking Hannah, do it. You’ll be in the absolute best hands. — Sincerely, a 2026 Bride

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married at Mill Pond Estate last month (March 2026), with our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Hotel Haya. I feel like the only two absolute necessities for your wedding weekend are the person you’re in love with and Wilder Mind Events. I cannot imagine planning and having a wedding without them. When we first got engaged, I was extremely intimidated at the idea of planning a wedding for 120-150 people and had no idea how to make it all come together. There are so many moving parts and options, and you just want everything to be perfect, it’s very overwhelming. For a stressy girl like myself, I needed a team I could trust completely, and that is what I got. Demi was a godsend for keeping us on track with booking vendors and putting things on our radar that we didn’t even know we needed. The day of the wedding she was like a fairy god mother getting me anything I needed and making sure the timeline stayed perfectly on track. Delaney is an absolute pro at bringing a cohesive look together across the whole venue. It’s like she reaches into your brain and pulls out a vision you want but can’t properly describe with words, then brings it to life on your special day. Everything turned out even more beautiful in real life than I was imagining it. We took every recommendation they provided for vendors, and ended up being SO happy with every single one. It felt like they all were part of a single company how seamlessly they all worked together. I couldn’t believe how many people came up to me towards the end of the night or the next day and told me that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Like, when one person says that you think they’re being nice or maybe they haven’t been to a lot of weddings but SO many people told us that. I was like wait… did we just throw the best wedding ever?? WME crafted the most beautiful, fun, organized, well-planned day for us and our guests. 11/10 recommend if you want to have a wedding day you will actually enjoy instead of stress over.

Choosing Joyfully Co. for our wedding planning services was the BEST decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning. Blaire was a phenomenal wedding planner in that she was incredibly flexible, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. My husband and I changed our minds about a hundred times on hotel venue vs small elopement and even went back and forth between several venues. Blaire was never impatient with us and truly wanted us to have the best day. The wedding day itself was perfect. I could not have hoped for a more organized, effortless, and stress-free experience. Throughout the day, Blaire and Sharon checked up on all of our guests and made sure their needs were met. They checked on us and asked if we needed anything, they handled all minor issues flawlessly and kept us informed so we felt none of the stress.

We had Justine for the day of, but a mix of Connie and Justine throughout the planning process. We thoroughly appreciate how much care, detail, and thought went into the planning calls with us up until the wedding. We had Connie for our rehearsal and it went so smoothly that we ended the rehearsal time earlier than expected. We were able use that time to get ahead of decorating! Then, the day of, Justine was able to execute our vision perfectly and made sure everything (in our eyes) ran smoothly. Even the things she didn't have direction on (which was my bad), she knew exactly what to do with. She also was able to calm me (the bride) down when we had a group of unexpected visitors to the property we rented. When one of our other vendors fell short on delivering what was promised, Justine stepped in and took care of business herself. We could not have asked for a better wedding day, or a better experience with wedding coordinators. Thank you so much for everything, Connie and Justine!!!

Hiring 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 décor 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.

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!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Allie of OMGee Events on a wedding, and she was such a pleasure to work with!  Everything felt smooth, organized, and stress-free from start to finish.   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 supportive—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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough positive things about Mary Anna. Starting the wedding planning process, my husband and I were unsure if we really wanted a coordinator as we both work in the hospitality industry and have planned many events ourselves, but took the jump and hired Mary Anna as our coordinator. Now that the day has passed, I can say with 100% certainty our wedding would not have been what it was without her. She worked so hard the entire day. An unfortunate series of events (Texas weather) caused chaos that could not have been planned for but this girl handled it like a champ. She jumped in and quite literally saved the day and she did it all with the biggest smile on her face. My husband and I along with our family and friends could not have been more impressed. If you are debating whether to hire Mary Anna as your planner, do not hesitate. She will be the best thing you could’ve done for yourselves! We love you and will be forever grateful to you!!

I'm a photographer and have been working with Rachel and her team for a couple of years now. She is the calmest, sweetest and most detail oriented planner that I've worked with in the past 20 years.

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.
