Question 1

When should we hire a wedding planner?

Accepted Answer

The earlier, the better...but don't worry if you're already well into planning!If you're looking for full-service planning, many couples reach out shortly after booking their venue so I can help guide the rest of the process. If you're interested in wedding coordination, I recommend reaching out 6–12 months before your wedding to make sure we have plenty of time to get everything organized and reserve your date.No matter where you are in the planning process, I'd be happy to chat and see how I can help.

Question 2

Do you offer custom packages?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Every wedding is different, and I know one size doesn't fit all.While I've created planning packages to give you a clear starting point, I'll always recommend the level of support that makes the most sense for your wedding, your priorities and where you are in the planning process.If you need something a little different, we'll talk through it together and create a plan that fits.

Question 3

What's the difference between full-service planning and coordination?

Accepted Answer

It really comes down to when you want me to jump in.Full-service planning means I'm by your side from the early stages of planning. I'll help with everything from finding vendors and creating timelines to answering questions, making decisions and keeping everything organized along the way.Wedding coordination is for couples who have already planned most of the details but want someone to step in before the big day to organize everything, communicate with vendors and make sure the wedding day runs smoothly.No matter which option you choose, my goal is the same: to help you enjoy your wedding instead of managing it.

Question 4

Will you help us find vendors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!Finding the right vendors is one of the biggest parts of planning, and I'm here to make that process easier. I'll recommend professionals who fit your style, priorities and budget, help you compare your options, and coordinate with your vendor team throughout the planning process.My goal isn't to send you a long list of names...it's to help you build a team you can feel confident about.

Question 5

Do you attend the rehearsal and wedding day?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!If your package includes rehearsal coverage, I'll be there to help everyone understand where they need to be and what to expect before the big day.On your wedding day, I'll be behind the scenes keeping everything on track...from coordinating vendors and managing the timeline to handling the unexpected, so you can focus on celebrating with the people you love.

Question 6

How do we plan together throughout the process?

Accepted Answer

Planning doesn't have to feel overwhelming, and you don't have to figure everything out on your own.We'll stay connected through scheduled planning meetings, email and a shared planning portal where you'll have easy access to timelines, important documents and everything we need to keep your wedding on track.If you're a full-service planning client, you'll also receive a custom wedding planning guide designed to help you stay organized, make confident decisions and enjoy the process along the way.

Question 7

How many weddings do you take per year?

Question 8

Every couple deserves to feel seen, respected and excited about their wedding day...and that's exactly the experience I strive to provide.

Question 9

Will you create and manage our wedding website?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!If you'd like, I'll create and manage your wedding website so everything stays organized in one place for you and your guests. From travel details and hotel information to your registry, schedule and FAQs, I'll help make sure your website is easy to navigate, up to date and reflects your wedding style.It's one less thing for you to worry about, and one less source of questions from your guests.

Question 10

Do you travel for weddings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I love to travel, and I'd be honored to celebrate with you wherever your wedding takes you.While I'm based in Central Pennsylvania, I'm available for destination weddings and celebrations both near and far.

Question 11

Do you plan micro-weddings or elopements?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!Some of the most meaningful celebrations are the most intimate ones. Whether you're planning a private elopement or a small wedding surrounded by your closest family and friends, I'd love to help make the planning process feel easier and more enjoyable.Every celebration deserves the same care and attention, no matter the guest count.

Question 12

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.I know wedding planning comes with a lot of expenses, so payments are broken into manageable installments throughout the planning process. You'll receive your payment schedule up front, making it easy to plan ahead without any surprises.

Question 13

What happens if something goes wrong on the wedding day?

Accepted Answer

The truth is, little hiccups happen at almost every wedding.The difference is that you probably won't know about them.My job is to anticipate potential issues, solve problems behind the scenes and keep everything moving forward without interrupting your day. Whether it's a timeline adjustment, a vendor question or an unexpected surprise, I'll handle it so you can stay focused on celebrating.If I'm doing my job well, you'll probably never even know something needed my attention...and that's exactly how it should be.

Question 14

What if we don’t have a date or venue booked yet...can we still hire you?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely...and honestly, this is one of my favorite times to jump in!Starting before you've booked a venue gives us the opportunity to build a strong foundation from the very beginning. I'll help you narrow down your options, recommend venues that fit your style, guest count, and budget, coordinate tours and even join you for venue visits when possible.Once you've found the right fit, we'll keep the momentum going and build the rest of your wedding plans together...one step at a time.
