Planning Wrap-up + Wedding Management
(aka Day-of Services)

Please Note: This package is only available for booking 8 months out from wedding day or less.

I still affectionately refer to this as our “day-of” package, but really, that term is a misnomer. No coordinator can just show up on the day of your wedding and make things run smoothly. Providing this valuable service requires several weeks of gathering information, tying up loose ends, and coordinating with your vendors to make sure your day is stress-free. Because really, that’s what I’m offering you here: a stress-free wedding day for everyone.

  • Services available beginning 8 weeks out with Pre-wedding Planning Meeting

  • Available for unlimited emails/phone calls beginning 8 weeks out

  • Comprehensive day-of timeline for vendors/wedding party

  • Finalize details with vendors and serve as point of contact

  • Facilitate ceremony rehearsal with officiant and venue coordinator

  • Provide coordination hours on wedding day beginning 1 hour prior to photography start time through reception end time

  • Direct vendors, wedding party, and families

  • Oversee set up / tear down at venues as needed

  • Manage last-minute changes and special needs

  • Provide 1 assistant coordinator as needed

Investment - $3200

35 hours of Consulting, Planning Wrap-up + Wedding Management
(aka Partial Planning)

What the heck does ‘partial planning’ mean? It’s basically a fancy way of saying you get help from a pro when you need it, but not when you don’t. It’s literally 35 hours of my time for you to use in whatever capacity you need.

The Process

First things first: We start off with your Initial Planning Meeting to determine where your mindset and expectations are for each aspect of your wedding. Once I have a peek inside your vision, I put together a customized planning checklist that’s available via a personalized online portal, along with other useful planning tools. This meeting does not count against your 35 hours.

Next things next: You’re in the driver’s seat here. Since this package is limited on consulting hours, we work together to determine where you need my assistance and where you’re good on your own. Most couples use their hours for vendor referrals, event design, check-in meetings, and general questions/guidance. My only requirement is to attend your tasting and final venue walk-through.

Final things last: About two months out from wedding day, we have your Pre-wedding Planning Meeting to work through all the nitty gritty details of wedding day and map out final planning pieces. From the time we have this meeting through wedding weekend, you have unlimited consulting time with me to help wrap-up planning. I finalize details with all vendors and provide full coordination/management of the ceremony rehearsal and entire wedding day to keep the stress off you and your VIPs.

Investment

Your flat-fee investment includes planning support and management/coordination of ceremony rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. Planning support and management of other events, such as rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and brunch may require an additional fee, depending on scope of event.

Unlimited Planning Support + Wedding Management
(aka Full Service)

Having a wedding sound like a dream? Is actually planning it turning out a bit more like a nightmare? Well, then you’re exactly where you need to be, especially if you’re super busy and important (no, seriously) or the whole process just seems so very daunting.

Got control issues? No worries. My consulting-based style ensures that you’re always in control of the process. I can be hands-on and proactive, but am happy to take a step back when you’re on a roll. You get a pro when you need one, and not when you don’t.

The Process

First things first: We start off with your Initial Planning Meeting to determine where your mindset and expectations are for each aspect of your wedding. Once I have a peek inside your vision, I put together a customized planning checklist that’s available via a personalized online portal, along with other useful planning tools.

Next things next: We start chipping away at the big ol’ checklist, with me providing reminders and support at key intervals, including regular check-in meetings, unlimited communication, vendor recommendations + booking/liaising, reception tasting, venue walkthroughs, initial event design, and more. Remember, I’m only in it as much as you need – happy to hold your hand the whole time or wait until you say the word.

Final things last: About two months out from wedding day, we have your Pre-wedding Planning Meeting to work through all the nitty gritty details of wedding day and map out final planning pieces.

A Bride's Ally | St. Louis Wedding Planner
 

I love working with brides and grooms from all walks of life, styles, and budgets. After almost a decade of working with engaged couples, I've fine-tuned the above packages to meet the needs of brides and grooms across all planning styles and needs.

My weddings generally take place in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Franklin County, Jefferson County, St. Clair County, and Madison County. I’m happy to support weddings outside these areas, but travel fees may apply.

If your wedding is on private property: Please know that the nature of how I provide my services is not a good fit for weddings taking place on private property or any other location that does not have a history of being used for weddings. I’m happy to provide recommendations for other planners better suited for these types of events.
