FULL SERVICE

WEDDING  PLANNING

Advanced planning and prioritizing is key to a genuinely stress-free day. Not into details and logistics? Don’t worry, we love this stuff! Full wedding planning projects are our favorite!


Full planning happens in phases. Think of it as a marathon that’s actually fun from start to finish, for real! You can trust that we’re taking care of everything, from “I’m not sure what to do” all the way through “I do.”

  • Everything + The Kitchen Sink! We get involved early to help you kick start the process, map out your budget, and develop your design concept. Then we dive head first into venue selection and finding the perfect vendor team. It’s a phased based process, so we will keep you on the straight and narrow to a fun and relaxing planning process! Our team is with you every step of the way.

  • A quick view into our phased based process!

    Phase 1: Planning

    We begin by discussing your budget and identifying the wedding elements that hold the most significance for both of you and assembling an exceptional base vendor team.

    Phase 2: Design

    Now, we dive into aesthetics! During this phase, our focus shifts to the visual aspects of your big day. We work on defining the overall look and feel you wish to achieve.

    Phase 3: Logistics

    This phase is all about making sure every piece of the puzzle fits perfectly. (Also, BW’s favorite phase!!)

    Phase 4: Wedding Day Execution

    The moment you've been waiting for has arrived! It's time to witness all the hard work come together in one magical day.

  • Full Wedding Planning packages will start around $8,550 & Partial Wedding Planning packages start at $5,550.

    If you already have your date and venue selected, Partial Planning may be a good fit for you! - Inquire below!

LEAD-UP AND DAY-OF

WEDDING  COORDINATOR

The phrase “day-of coordination” is pretty misleading since we’ll be with you long before the big day. If you prefer to take the lead planning your perfect event, (we love that) we’re here to manage it for you.

You deserve to be fully immersed, entranced in the world of your wedding. We'll make sure everything happens around you just the way you want it to, without getting in your way.

  • Maybe you already have your vendors selected, but you're wondering who is going to make sure the DJ knows when to start playing music or who is going to ensure your dessert table is laid out the way you planned. There are 1001 details to every special occasion and it is the Studio's responsibility to make sure they are all perfect!

    Take the stress off yourself, (and your loved ones) so you can relish in the moment.

  • We start off with a kick off meeting to find out where you're at in the planning process.

    From there we have a handful of standardized meetings to keep you on track the final months leading up to your event (not just the “month-of” like some coordinators do). Our team is always available for questions or concerns along the way!

  • Wedding Coordinator packages start at $3,600 and will be customized to suit the needs of your specific day. We also have lots of fun add-ons to consider if you're interested.

  • There's a difference between what you have to do and a million things you could do to craft a beautiful guest experience. We’ll help you navigate the wedding waters to plan and execute an event that feels perfectly you.

    Get in touch - we’d love to hear about your event and help in any way we can!

  • We typically recommend that we start working together 12+ months out for full and partial planning packages, and at least 90 days out for event management. Private events can be planned in 4-8 weeks.

    The best way to know exactly when we should begin is to chat about your exact event needs! Reach out via our contact page to get the ball rolling.

in case you’re wondering

  • We reeeeally get to know you! When the big day arrives, we'll have such a firm grasp on your likes, dislikes, passions and priorities that we can basically read your mind.

  • Our systems are simple, our events are not. We provide streamlined tools to take the guesswork out of the planning process.

    Our communication schedule is designed to provide the right level of support at the right times. You'll never be stuck wondering what you should be doing or when you'll hear from us next.

  • Absolutely every proposal is a custom combination of the exact support you need. We don't do standard packages because we don't do standard events.

    We work within many budgets, and you can view pricing guidelines by clicking “investment” on the packages listed above. Reach out to discuss your custom quote!
