Frequently Asked Questions About Event Planning
Clients often come to their first consultation with uncertainty about what to expect. Below are direct answers to the things people ask us about event planning:

Smaller events may start in the low thousands, while major productions may require budgets into the tens of thousands. Our team offers transparent estimates during the initial consultation so there are complete transparency throughout the process.
Should I hire a full planner or just a day-of coordinator?A comprehensive event planner is involved from start to finish — logistics, creative direction, timelines — starting long before your event. A day-of coordinator steps in closer to the event to execute an already-planned event. The right choice depends on your situation — our team will recommend what approach makes the most sense for your event.

More intimate gatherings can typically be planned in a few months, though earlier is always preferable. In busy periods, the best vendors book fast, so getting the conversation started is always wise.
