Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a wedding planner?
Because you deserve to actually enjoy your wedding - not manage it. I handle the chaos so you can soak up the magic.
Can a wedding planner really save me money?
Yes! A planner helps you spend smarter, avoid costly mistakes, and get the most out of every dollar - without losing the pretty.
What types of weddings do you plan?
From understated elegance to full-on glam, I plan weddings that feel effortless, that hit that sweet spot between relaxed and refined - whatever your version of “fancy” looks like.
My venue already has an onsite coordinator, how are they different than a planner?
Your venue coordinator manages the venue. I manage everything else. They handle the property, staff, and setup logistics. I handle your full vendor team, timeline, and every detail that makes the day run smoothly - we work together so you can just show up and enjoy it.
What do most planners charge for planning services and why?
In the greater Houston area, most professional planners range from $2,000–$8,000+, depending on experience, scope, and service level. Full planning (from start to finish) naturally costs more than coordination-only - because you’re not just paying for time, you’re investing in expertise, connections, and a smoother process from day one.
Do you receive "kick-backs" from wedding professionals?
Nope - never. I don’t take commissions or “kick-backs.” Any vendor I recommend is there because they’re talented, trustworthy, and the right fit for you, not for my wallet.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes! I accept credit cards, ACH transfers, and other secure online payments - whatever makes it easiest for you.
Do you charge for the initial consultation?
Nope - your initial consultation is complimentary. It’s our chance to connect, talk through your vision, and see if we’re the right fit.
How do you dress for my wedding?
Professionally and appropriately for your venue and vibe - polished, neutral, and never distracting. Think “part of the event team,” not “trying to be a guest.”
Why is it important that I hire a CERTIFIED planner?
Certification means you’re hiring a planner who’s trained, experienced, and committed to industry standards - not just someone who “loves weddings” (even though I DO!). It’s professionalism you can trust with one of the biggest days of your life.
