Our services

Full Service Wedding Planning & Creative Direction

the total package

This package is best for couples that have not yet done any serious planning for their wedding, beyond choosing a date. This package is comprehensive, and with this selection we take on planning all elements of your wedding. We provide a structured planning system via AislePlanner to keep us on track with your budget and planning deadlines, and we also recommend vendors in each planning category. Outside of planning logistics, through our continuous conversations, we will narrow in on repeating design elements and inspirational imagery for your event. We will then create a design board presentation for every area of the wedding.

Typically this process begins at least one year prior to your wedding. We recommend booking this package prior to selecting your wedding venue(s) and creating your wedding budget.
