Question 1

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

For full-service weddings, twelve to eighteen months is ideal, though I occasionally have room for shorter timelines. Showers, birthdays, and corporate events are usually booked three to six months out. If your date is close, ask anyway — I keep a small number of dates open each season.

Question 2

Where do you work?

Accepted Answer

I plan events throughout the South and travel regularly for destination celebrations. Travel beyond a two-hour radius is quoted separately and always disclosed in your proposal.

Question 3

What is the difference between full-service planning and day-of coordination?

Accepted Answer

Full-service planning means I'm with you from the beginning — design, budget, vendors, logistics, and the weekend itself. Day-of coordination is for clients who have planned the details themselves; I take the handoff about eight weeks out, confirm every vendor, build the timeline, and run the event.

Question 4

Do you provide florals and rentals?

Accepted Answer

I design the floral and décor plan and manage trusted florists, rental houses, and lighting partners on your behalf. Those goods are contracted through the vendors so you always see exactly what you're paying for.

Question 5

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Each package has a starting investment, and your final quote reflects guest count, event complexity, and how many days I'm on-site. Nothing is billed without your written approval, and you'll receive a clear payment schedule after booking.

Question 6

Do you help with our budget?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Budget building is one of the most valuable parts of the process. I'll show you realistic ranges for your region and guest count, then track every line item so there are no unpleasant surprises.

Question 7

Can I use my own vendors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. I'm happy to work with vendors you love and will fold them into the plan just as I would my own. Where you need recommendations, I'll offer several options at different price points.

Question 8

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We build the rain plan alongside the main plan — tent holds, indoor layouts, timing shifts, and a decision deadline. You'll know exactly what happens before the forecast ever becomes stressful.

Question 9

How do we begin?

Accepted Answer

Send an inquiry through the contact page with your date, venue, and vision. I'll reply personally to schedule a consultation, then follow up with a tailored proposal and agreement.
