While we prefer to conduct during normal business hours, we understand sometimes it can be a challenge to meet during the day, so we do accept some after-hour client meetings. Some Saturdays are available, but we can never guarantee which Saturday. On occasion we may work a Sunday wedding, but we don’t make it a habit. We are closed Sundays and Mondays, allowing us to be our best for our clients.

Your wedding planning experience starts with your initial inquiry by completing our Inquiry Form. Once we move past the inquiry process, we schedule a consult where we will deep dive into your wedding vision and desires, along with your expectations.
We know wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful, yet exciting! We will go in-depth about your wedding experience and how we will navigate this journey together.

Most churches do prefer to handle the rehearsal and the ceremony and that is OK with us. We are very respectful of all houses of worship and would never impose on their rules. In these situations, we take a step back and adopt the supportive role. We still need to make sure the florist arrives, the musicians aren’t lost, etc. In addition, we will be checking in on both of you and pinning on flowers. Oh, and can we talk about the pre-ceremony shots?
We are there to ensure you guys don’t see each other beforehand, should that be the case! Should you decide you don’t want us at the ceremony at all, we completely understand. When you retain us, you are retaining us for your date, so the cost will not change either way.

Each of our planners manage anywhere from 7-10 weddings per year and only one wedding per weekend, allowing us to immerse ourselves completely into each of our couples’ wedding experiences.

In any industry, wedding-related or not, emergencies and turnover occur every day. As any good business, we have a Plan A, B and C for all events within our team! Rest assured your wedding day will be covered.

Absolutely, it’s one of our specialties! We love destination weddings, and they require a separate skill set than locally based events. Destination weddings demand a considerable amount of logistical planning and coordination, along with knowing and understanding culture, language, weather and legal differences. Planning a destination wedding requires seasoned experience, more than just a love of travel. Based in Houston, we plan events worldwide.
Our preferences and specialties lie in:
- Mexico
- Italy
- France
- England
- Spain
- The Caribbean
- South America
- and throughout the USA!
Our planners are also multi-lingual!

A resort planner and a wedding planner are both full time jobs. While each resort is different in what they will offer you, many will even go as far as to telling you “You don’t need to hire an outside planner.”
Hiring an experienced destination planner ensures you, your vendors and the details are taken care of on your BIG day. We value resort planners and have partnered with some amazing ones; they play an important role in the success of the day as we work together!
Rule of thumb: A resort planner works for the resort, your destination planner [that’s us], works for you.

As we plan and design your event, we meticulously assemble your vendor team to ensure you receive the highest level of quality and service you deserve.

Our fee structure is a two-part structure compensating us for the elements of what we are building for you over the course of your planning experience — planning, design + production and event management.

No. Our role is to plan, design and manage your event, overseeing everyone responsible for each aspect of your big day. All our couples are required to hire professionals and full-service vendors who will provide all installation and striking. In addition, our insurance will not cover our team members for any set-up or strike-down work. Now, we will most certainly assist with the distribution of guest favors and menu cards.

We invite you to check out our blog post which lists out these differences.
