Signature services

Choose the level of support your day deserves

Every couple begins with a consultation so we can shape the right scope for your vision, guest count, and budget. Full-service is where most of our couples start.

Most requested

Full-Service Wedding Planning

Hand us the whole thing and go be the couple.

You just got engaged, and under the excitement there's already a quiet "what now." You can picture the day, but the road to it looks like a hundred decisions and a vendor inbox you don't have time for. This is where we step in and stay, from the first vision talk all the way to the last song of the night. We design the wedding and manage everyone who builds it, so the whole plan keeps moving without landing back on you. When the day comes, you get to be a guest inside your own wedding instead of the one running it.

  • You spend the day as the couple, not the coordinator.
  • Every vendor answers to us, not to you.
  • The decisions get handled without keeping you up at night.
  • If something goes sideways, you never hear about it.

Destination Weddings

Somewhere far from home, handled like we were next door.

You fell for a place that's nowhere near home, a stretch of coast or a town across the country, and now the dream comes with a knot in your stomach about pulling it off from a distance. You're picturing vendors you can't meet in person and logistics you'd have to juggle across time zones. We plan the whole thing from afar and then show up where you're getting married, so everything is handled on the ground. We book the local vendors you can actually trust and carry the travel side so it never falls to you. You land at your destination to a wedding that's already ready, and you get to simply be there for it.

  • The distance stops being your problem and becomes ours.
  • You trust the vendors because we already vetted them.
  • No planning by email at midnight across time zones.
  • You arrive as a guest, not the person setting it all up.
Request pricing

Partial Planning

You got it going. You don't have to finish it alone.

You started strong. You booked the venue, maybe locked in a vendor or two, and felt on top of it, and then the list kept growing until the whole thing felt heavier than fun. You don't need someone to redo your work, you need someone to pick up everything still open and carry it home. We step in right where you are and take over the pieces still hanging, the day itself included. By the time the wedding arrives, the parts you were dreading are handled, and you're free to enjoy the parts you were looking forward to.

  • The pieces you were dreading stop being yours to solve.
  • Nothing you already booked gets second-guessed.
  • The final stretch feels calm instead of frantic.
  • You show up to your wedding, not to a job.

Elevated Day-of Coordination

You did the work. Now go enjoy it.

You planned this yourself, every detail, over months, and it's going to be beautiful. But somewhere along the way it hit you that someone has to actually run the day, and it can't be you, or anyone you'd rather have standing beside you. In the final weeks we take the reins and turn everything you planned into a clear plan for how the day flows. On the wedding day we manage all of it, from the first delivery to the last exit, so no one you love is stuck working. You did the work, now you get to hand it off and stand in the middle of it, fully present.

  • You hand off the finish instead of working your own wedding.
  • The people you love stay guests, not staff.
  • Every vendor is confirmed and directed without you.
  • The day runs on a plan, even the parts you forgot to worry about.
Request pricing

Every wedding is quoted to its own size and setting. Share your date and vision and we'll build pricing around it. Travel fees apply outside the Jacksonville area.

Good to know

Questions couples ask us first

How much should we budget for a planner?

Most full-service couples invest a set portion of their overall wedding budget in planning and production. The best next step is a consultation, where we can give you a real figure built around your guest count, venue, and vision.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. We plan destination weddings and travel throughout Florida and beyond. Travel fees apply for weddings outside the Jacksonville area, and we handle the logistics so the distance never falls on you.

How far in advance should we book?

For full-service planning, the earlier the better, ideally nine to twelve months out. We take a limited number of weddings each season, so dates go quickly. Day-of coordination can begin closer to the wedding.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. We build a comfortable payment schedule into your agreement so your investment is spread out over the months leading up to the wedding.

What is the difference between full-service and partial?

Full-service makes us your partner from day one, handling everything from design through execution. Partial planning steps in when you have already made progress and want expert support to finish strong and run the day.
