What planning services do you offer?

We offer three main planning packages: Full-Service Planning & Design, Partial Planning, and Month-Of Coordination. Each is tailored to meet you where you are in the planning process. We also offer optional add-ons like rehearsal dinner coordination, farewell brunches, and guest gifting.

What is your Full-Service package?

Our Full-Service package is a concierge-level experience. We guide you through every step—from venue scouting and budget creation to design, vendor curation, and full event execution. It’s perfect for couples who want a deeply personalized, hands-off planning experience.

When should we book your services?

We recommend booking Full-Service planning 9–18 months in advance. For Month-Of Coordination, we typically begin work 4–6 weeks before the wedding, but dates often book up early—especially for spring and fall weddings.

Do you work at venues you haven’t been to before?

Absolutely! We love discovering new venues. We’ll always do a site visit and coordinate closely with your venue’s team to ensure we understand every logistical detail.

How many weddings do you take on per weekend?

To ensure our full attention and care, we take on one wedding per weekend. You’ll never be competing with another event on your date.

Do you charge a percentage of the wedding budget?

No—we offer flat-rate packages, so your planning fee is transparent from the beginning. That said, we’re happy to help manage your overall wedding budget to ensure it’s aligned with your vision and priorities.

What happens if we need to cancel or postpone?

We understand that plans sometimes change. You can review our full cancellation and postponement policy [here] (or link to your contract summary). In general, if you cancel before the halfway point to your event, no additional payment is due. After that, the full balance is owed.

Will you be there on the wedding day?

Yes! Sarah will personally lead the planning and be on-site for your rehearsal and wedding day, alongside one or more assistants depending on your event size and complexity.

Do you offer destination or multi-day weddings?

Yes! Whether it’s a vineyard weekend in Virginia or a full celebration in D.C., we love multi-day events and destination weddings. These are typically custom-quoted based on travel and scope.

My venue already has a coordinator, so why do I need a planner?

A venue coordinator works for the venue—their job is to manage the space, staff, and policies. A wedding planner works for you, managing every detail to bring your vision to life. While a venue coordinator ensures the venue runs smoothly, a planner ensures your entire day does.

What’s the investment for your services?

We’ll create a custom proposal based on your needs and wedding scope. Couples spend between $2,500 and $8,500 for our services.

Will you be there the entire wedding day?

Yes! I’ll be on-site for up to 12 hours on your wedding day, along with an assistant planner. We handle setup, vendor management, timeline execution, styling details, and the little moments in between. You’ll be free to enjoy your day fully, without stress.

What happens if there’s an emergency or last-minute change?

We've got it handled. In case of an emergency or vendor delay, we’ll communicate directly with your team and keep things on track behind the scenes. If something requires your input, we’ll discreetly check in—otherwise, consider it taken care of.

Can we make changes to our package or add services later?

Absolutely. We offer a variety of enhancements you can add on at any point in the planning process. If your needs evolve, just let us know and we’ll send an updated proposal.
