My #1 Service:
Unlimited Communication
All of my packages include unlimited communication with me, whether it's via email, text, phone call or even carrier pigeon! Ha!
To be honest, this is a HUGE value that not everyone provides. I want to be available to you so you can ask questions like -
- Should I really do a seating chart?
- How do I deal with a stepparent/future-in-law/nosy friend, etc?
- It might rain this weekend! AHH! How do I create a backup plan?
- Should I do a signature cocktail, or just beer and wine?
- Why should I go with floor-length tablecloths?
- Should I buy real candles or fake ones?
- How much food or booze do I order?
- How can I save money when I buy my florals?
I want to be someone you can get solid advice from, like a next-door neighbor or a big sister.
Someone who becomes a good friend and your personal cheerleader by the time we wrap up.
- Should I really do a seating chart?
Packages
Package #1 - Essential Coordination - $700
Perfect for month-of coordination, day-of coordination and those on a budget!
Prior to your big day, I am available for any questions, tips, advice and suggestions. I will also review any timelines given to you by your photographer, caterer or DJ to make sure they are realistic and flow together. If you would like me to create a timeline for you, with all of your vendor information, this is available as an add-on to your package.
On the day of your wedding, I will be at your venue for five hours total. I can help with a little bit of setup, check in with your vendors and prep your wedding party to walk down the aisle. I will be there to transition you and your guests into the reception, as well as assisting your vendors with the traditional reception activities.
Package #2 - Premium Coordination - $1,500
This is my most popular package! Great for more assistance with planning, but still under your direction.
This package is a great choice if you have time to communicate with all of your vendors throughout the planning process. I can send you advice, tips and suggestions on booking and working with vendors, as well as tips to make their job a little easier with you! I will create, edit and maintain a day-of timeline for you and all of your vendors.
The day before your wedding, I will manage a short rehearsal with you and anyone in the wedding. On the big day, I will be at your venue for eight hours total. I can help with setup, delegate tasks to your helpers, greet and work with your vendors, help you down the aisle and take care of most of the important stuff at the reception. I will leave the venue before cleanup time, usually in the hands of a good DJ!
Package #3 - Elite Coordination - $2,000
Ideal for newly engaged couples just starting the planning process, couples who feel overwhelmed by planning, or couples who lack time to plan.
With this package, I'll be taking care of most of the research and planning for you, with your guidance and decision making. We will have frequent check-ins via video chat, phone calls, and/or in person. I can assist with the theme or style of your wedding, finding and booking all of your vendors, keeping you on track with progress, maintaining communication with the vendors you book and more. I am happy to recommend my favorite vendors! I will create, edit and maintain a day-of timeline for you and all of your vendors.
The day before your wedding, I will manage a short rehearsal with you and anyone in the wedding. On the wedding day, I will be on site and coordinating all the things for up to 12 hours. This includes all of the tasks with the Premium Coordination plan, but I will stay later to help clean up the ceremony site (if applicable) and the reception venue.
Let's Talk Details
All of my packages include the following:
- Unlimited communication, via email, phone, text, video chat and/or in-person meetings
- Advice, tips and suggestions on anything wedding related
- Review or create your day-of timeline, depending on which package you choose
- Assistance with setup of decor, flowers, ceremony area, food and drink areas, and reception areas
My contract & payment process
Once we've settled on a package that fits your needs, here's how you pay:
- I'll send you a contract that lists the details of your package. You review and sign. A contract serves both of us!
- Next, you'll get an invoice with the total payment listed. Your first payment is a retainer of $300 that reserves your date on my calendar and pays me for initial work.
- You start asking questions, we start planning together and I start working on background planning.
- For the remaining balance, I can take payments either by month or by quarter, or a payment in full.
Travel Fees
With my Essential Package of wedding coordinating, I have time to travel to your wedding site on the same day as your wedding. I also have time to drive home afterward.
However, with the Premium and Elite Packages, these require me to stay on site for more hours, as well as run a rehearsal the evening before. Because of that, I will need to stay overnight near your wedding venue. If the location of your wedding is farther than about 2 hours away from my home base of Eugene/Springfield, then a $200 travel fee will be added to the package you choose. This helps me cover a hotel room for one or two nights, as well as some gas.
The package cost is for my planning and on-site work for you. I could add the travel fee to my packages, but I like to be transparent about them so you know the complexities behind my work. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions about this if you have them!
