โ€œDestify had great communication and helped facilitate finding which resorts we could use. They found something that was in our price range and exactly where we wanted it to be. The resort we ended up using was fantastic at helping coordinate the whole wedding and took a lot of pressure off planning the wedding. Maybe Iโ€™m biased but honestly, it was the most fun wedding Iโ€™ve ever been to.โ€

โ€œMy husband and I cannot recommend Haylie enough. Seriously โ€“ if you are getting married, do yourself a favor and book her. She made the entire wedding planning process so smooth and enjoyable. We were really able to enjoy our engagement because of her guidance and support โ€“ and that's a gift we will always treasure. Our wedding day was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. Again, because everything had been planned so thoughtfully and meticulously, we were able to truly live every minute of the best day of our lives. We will always be so so grateful to her and will recommend her to every couple who gets engaged โ€“ and maybe even just random strangers on the street!โ€

โ€œWe worked with Valerie as our coordinator for the 30-days leading up to our wedding, and on the day-of. From the very first call she put our minds at ease about where things stood, and made sure to take as much off of our plates as she could so we could enjoy the lead up to the wedding. She was proactive about communicating with the rest of our vendor team, and everything worked out so perfectly because of her help. And on the day of our reception and ceremony spaces looked more gorgeous than we could have imagined thanks to her attention to detail and hard work setting everything up. We'd recommend working with Val 100 times over to any couple!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€

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!

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!

โ€œWe selected Wilder Mind Events has our planners for our January 2026 wedding at Hotel Haya. Prior to this, I had been a quiet observer of their instagram account for nearly 5 years after sitting next to someone on a flight that recommended them. When my time finally came to plan a wedding, I knew without a question I wanted to go with Wilder Mind Events because I was constantly impressed with each wedding they shared on their account. After we finalized our venue and wedding date, I reached out and was elated they were available for our wedding date. For my review, (which is nothing but glowing) Iโ€™ll separate it into two parts: the first the pre-wedding and second the day of wedding. Pre-wedding: Having never planned a major event or wedding, I had no clue where to begin. We opted for the โ€œWilderโ€ service which was the perfect amount of support we needed. Demi walked me through many check lists and helped me tailor my focus to bite size tasks to accomplish each month. As someone who easily gets overwhelmed, I appreciated having someone tell me what to prioritize. Another thing I found incredibly helpful was their creative vision. I could tell them bits and pieces of things I liked and didnโ€™t like and they would steer me in a direction or help me narrow down options. When it came time to select the place settings, I was all over the place and terrified I would pick things that looked chaotic together and not have a cohesive look. Demi would thoughtfully lay options for me so I could get a sense of different options. It really helped me see things come together. Demi also helped us to maximize our budget, telling us that certain things werenโ€™t necessary. For example, we didnโ€™t need a fancy plate and a charger, but rather just the charger since we were having a plated meal. She had foresight of different things to think of that I would have never of known to do. They work with the best of the best and I knew if they were recommending a certain vendor, I knew they would be reliable, trustworthy, and also experts. Demi and Delaney were both enjoyable to work with and gave me a piece of mind and sense of ease throughout the entire planning process. I could not have done this without their support! Day of Wedding: My wedding day was absolutely perfect and this is largely because of Demi and the other assistants supporting her day of. The entire day went incredibly smooth from my perspective, but Demi was doing major behind the scenes work to coordinate a flawless execution. She dealt with our venue who only gave us 60 minutes to set up the entire event. Demi is very solution-oriented, so when she encountered setbacks, it never really seemed like a huge issue from my perspective. I appreciated this as I mentioned I tend to get overwhelmed. Some of my favorite details were: I always had a drink in my hand at the reception, my shoes and lipgloss were perfectly placed at our sweetheart table (I have no idea how they got them, but it was just the sweetest little thing that made me feel like a queen), they packed up all the personal items from the reception and had them stored in our room, and they even laid out flower petals on our bed for when we came back after the after party. They truly took care of every little detail. My wedding day was simply the best day of my life and while I donโ€™t plan to get married again, if I would, Iโ€™d choose Wilder Mind Events again in a heart beat.โ€

โ€œHiring 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!โ€

She was such a great help for myself, a DIY bride, be more organized and less stressed with the entire process.

โ€œSimply Elegant Group was by far my favorite vendor! Every single person we talked to from Lindsay Mackey, their amazing manger and our first contact to the hotel-block assistant was a joy to work with, communicative and helpful. The workbook, spreadsheets, and connections with other coordinators and vendors made the whole wedding planning process more enjoyable and streamlined. We chose the Day of Coordination and are very grateful to have had Hanh as our wedding coordinator! Hanh is worth her weight in gold! With Day of Coordination we received not only ten hours of custom coordination from the wonderfully efficient and empathic Hanh, we also had the help of her assistant. This was perfect because someone was by my and my husbandโ€™s throughout the day. I loved that with SEG we had a whole team of magnifically organized, thorough and compassionate individuals to support us in executing our dream wedding. Once we had submitted our information Lindsay contacted us to go over all of the things included in wedding planning. She created a rough draft of our day of timeline and gave us access to our Wedding Workbook. They have templates for everything you will need for organizing your wedding and making sure you do not miss out on important, but often overlooked details. Two months before our wedding date we were connected with Hanh. From our first meeting throughout the whole time before the wedding and for the duration of our wedding itself Hanh was both our wedding angel and ninja rolled all into one. I had done a lot of the initial setting up vendors, but as soon as she could she took over as my contact person. This meant the vendors had to email/reach out to Hanh and left me feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. From this point on I started to enjoy wedding planning.I love that she reached out to not only myself, but included my now husband and daughter in on a meeting. If there were any hiccups leading up to the wedding I did not know until they were already handled. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly for my husband and I and our family.Again if there were any mishaps my husband and I were oblivious of them and we had the best wedding ever! Hanh was ready for anything, made sure we were treated like royalty and also took some amazing pictures! Thank you to Hanh and Simply Elegant Group for making our dream wedding come true!

โ€œIf youโ€™re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, this is your sign: DO IT. Youโ€™ll thank yourself later! From our first call, Carinaโ€™s warmth and skill shined through. She asked such intentional questions to get to know me, my fiancรฉ, and our vision for the wedding. It was clear from the start that she had this incredible balance of being kind and approachable while also professional, organized, and proactive. One of my biggest priorities was making sure my mom, who lives out of state, could stay involved in the planning process. Carina handled this seamlessly. She coordinated virtual meetings with my mom and me, facilitated in-person meetings when my mom was in town, and kept us all on the same page with regular updates through her planning platform, emails, and check-ins. Everything felt smooth, and no detail was overlooked. Her vendor recommendations were another highlight. She had options for everything we needed, often at different price points, and always kept our budget and vision in mind. I appreciated how she kept things manageable and made sure we stayed true to what we wanted without feeling overwhelmed. When I started to second-guess decisions, Carina was there with honest, supportive advice that helped me move forward with confidence. What made her even more special was how much she genuinely cared. Every meeting or call started with her checking in on how we were doingโ€”not just with wedding stuff, but personally. That kind of thoughtfulness made such a difference during a busy and emotional time. When the wedding weekend came, Carina and Ally went above and beyond. They handled all the logistics, coordinated with vendors, and made sure my family and wedding party had clear timelines and everything they needed. My fiancรฉ and I didnโ€™t have to worry about a thing, which let us stay fully present and enjoy the day with the people we love. In hindsight, hiring Carina was the best decision we madeโ€”she turned what could have been overwhelming into an enjoyable, seamless experience, exceeding every expectation along the way.

โ€œHave you ever been in a high stress situation and thought yourself man I wish I just had somebody that could read my mind and handle it for me? Well, that is exactly what it feels like to have Connie as your coordinator. I first hired Connie in January 2025 and I was not married until December 31 of 2025 throughout the entire process not only was Connie professional, but she asked so many questions that I had never even thought of. She had numerous family obligations and a very stressful personal life. However, I had no idea any of it was going on because that is how professional she remained on our calls. When it came to wedding set up Connie showed up and knew exactly where everything went. She never asked me a single question unless it was for pertinent information and she truly made my vision come to life. She was kind to all of my family members which I think is so important especially on a day as big as that, and she did everything in a timely, discreet manner. As the bride, I had no idea if something did or did not go right on my wedding day because I never had to deal with it nor was I told about it. Connie truly is a mind reader and was able to make the entire day go smoothly. Hiring Connie is not a want for your wedding day. It is an absolute need. I can sit here a week after I am married and say with a confident face that she is truly the reason why my day was able to go so smooth. I got numerous compliments on how well it was set up and how well it was ran, and this was all due to Connie. My entire family is thankful for her. Sincerely, A 2025 brideโ€

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€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.

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€

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.
