The Questions
answered
The things couples ask most, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, ask it on the inquiry form and Brooklyn will answer it herself.
Do you offer customized packages?
Yes. We offer three core experiences: Full Planning, Partial Planning and Wedding Management. Every couple's needs are different, so the consultation is where we talk through what you have planned, what you still need and how involved you would like us to be. From there we recommend the level of support that fits, and add anything that would make the process easier.
Our goal is never to fit you into a package simply because it's a package. It's to make sure you feel supported, confident and fully present on your wedding day.
Our venue has a coordinator. Do we still need a wedding coordinator?
Yes. A venue coordinator works for the venue. A wedding coordinator works for you. The venue coordinator makes sure the venue runs well: the space, the staff and the venue's own responsibilities. Your wedding coordinator is your central point of communication, managing every vendor, the timeline, the ceremony, the reception and the hundred small details that have nothing to do with the building.
Your venue coordinator takes care of the venue. Your wedding coordinator takes care of your wedding.
How does payment work?
After the consultation you receive a proposal and a contract. Your date is reserved once the signed contract and a fifty percent deposit are received. The remaining balance is due thirty days before the wedding.
When is the best time to book?
The sooner the better. Dates fill, and the earlier we begin, the more of the planning we can carry for you. If your date is close, reach out anyway and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Do you travel?
Yes. Our home base is Fairhope, Alabama, and we plan and coordinate weddings along the Gulf Coast and beyond. Travel fees may apply depending on the location, and they are always discussed upfront, so there are no surprises.
What is the difference between Full Planning, Partial Planning and Wedding Management?
Full Planning is guidance from the very beginning: the vision, the budget, the venue and vendors, the design, the logistics and the day itself.
Partial Planning is for couples who have made the big decisions and want a planner's support from about six months out, pulling the rest together and seeing it through.
Wedding Management, often called day-of coordination, is for couples who have planned their wedding themselves. We take over about one month before: vendor communication, the timeline, the rehearsal and the wedding day.
Can family or the bridal party help on the day instead?
They can, but they shouldn't have to. Your mother should be with you while you get ready, not tracking down the florist. Your bridesmaids should be enjoying the day, not managing the timeline. Our role is to give your loved ones permission to simply be your family and friends.
Do you stay until the end of the night?
We stay until the celebration is over and you have made your exit. We do not tear down or clean up the venue, but we talk through your end-of-night needs ahead of time, so the right people are in place for them.
Do you help with setup and decorating?
We oversee and coordinate setup, and we place your personal décor: signage, place settings, favors, guest books, seating charts and the small details you have gathered. Large installations, florals and specialty rentals are set up by the vendors who provide them, and we coordinate their arrival and placement. We do not assemble DIY projects on the wedding day, so anything handmade should arrive ready to set out.
Do you attend the rehearsal?
Yes. Two hours of rehearsal coordination are included with every service. We run the processional and recessional, walk the wedding party through their places and cues, and answer every question, so the ceremony itself feels familiar.
Still not sure?
Let's *talk* it through
That's completely okay. Many couples sit between two levels of support, and the consultation is where we settle it together. Take the short quiz, or simply reach out and tell us where you are.
