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 where it matters and skip what it doesn't. You'll make smarter decisions with your budget from the start, avoid the costly mistakes most couples don't see coming, and walk away feeling good about where every dollar went.

What types of weddings do you plan?

Weddings that feel like the couple, not like a trend. If you want something personal, warm, and elevated without being overdone, you're in the right place. I work best with couples who have a clear sense of who they are and want their wedding to reflect that, not a Pinterest board that could belong to anyone.

What is the difference between the venue coordinator and a wedding planner?

Your venue coordinator is there to manage the venue. That means the property, the staff, the catering logistics, and making sure the building runs the way it's supposed to. They are really good at their job, and their job is the venue.

I manage everything else. Your full vendor team, your timeline, your personal details, your family dynamics, and every moving piece that exists outside those four walls. We work together on your wedding day, but we are doing completely different jobs. Having both means nothing falls through the cracks.

What do most planners charge for planning services and why?

In the greater Houston area, most professional planners range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on experience, scope, and service level. Full planning costs more than coordination because you're not just paying for time. You're investing in expertise, vendor relationships, and a process that protects you from the mistakes most couples don't know to avoid until it's too late.

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.
