Working with Nicole and the team at Mostest was an absolute pleasure. From the moment we first reached out, Nicole was communicative, prompt, and incredibly kind in her responses to all of our questions. Her expertise and easygoing, calm demeanor really put our Type A brains at ease throughout the planning process. Nicole was great at handling the day-before and day-of coordination between our bridal party, vendors, and the venue, ensuring everything ran smoothly. She even joined us on a few vendor calls, put together a realistic and well-organized timeline that we were able to stick to, and ran our rehearsal seamlessly. Nicole's knowledge, attention to detail, and overall professionalism made our special day truly perfect. We cannot recommend Mostest enough!

I've worked with many different wedding planners as a musician for weddings (pianist, arranger, music director). Haylie is so wonderful to work with! She makes the process so joyful, is thorough with the details, and a wonderful communicator. All of the advanced planned was a huge support, and the day-of was easeful, and a beautiful experience.

Knowing that no couple is the same, we cater to each unique vision and inspiration that they have to conceptualize all the details in order to make their dream wedding a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Joyfully Co was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were an absolute pleasure to work with—thoughtful, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. I had already secured most of my vendors when I reached out to them, and instead of trying to upsell me, they kindly recommended a more tailored package that better fit my needs and budget. That level of honesty and care really set the tone for the rest of our experience. Every meeting with them was encouraging and reassuring—I felt completely safe and supported in their hands. Having been a bridesmaid in weddings that left me physically and emotionally drained, my biggest goal for my own wedding was to feel calm and stress-free. Thanks to Joyfully Co, I actually got to *enjoy* my wedding day—and everything came together beautifully. We received so many compliments, and best of all, my husband and I were able to leave by 9:30 p.m. while their team took care of all the cleanup. It was such a gift. One of the things I appreciated most was how seamlessly they coordinated with all my vendors—many of whom they had worked with before. I never once worried that someone wouldn't show up or that something would fall through the cracks. As a Korean American, I also want to highlight how thoughtful they were in understanding and incorporating cultural details. They kept everything on schedule and consistently communicated with the bridal party throughout the day, which made a huge difference. The planning tools they provided were lifesavers. Their premade spreadsheets included everything: seating charts, tipping guides, vendor contact lists, timelines, packing lists—you name it. During our planning meetings, they reviewed the timeline well in advance and brought a calm confidence that really helped put me at ease. We also opted for the design package, which was such a game changer. While I could have tried to handle decor myself, having someone bring the vision to life—and then take it all down afterward—saved me an incredible amount of time and energy. They say you should feel like the guest of honor at your own wedding, and that’s exactly how my husband and I felt. Even more importantly, our loved ones were also able to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about logistics. I’ll always be grateful for Joyfully Co and can’t recommend them enough to other brides. They are truly a gift, and I’m cheering them on always!

Behind every wedding is team oso—a group of experienced planners who share our passion for seamless events and thoughtful execution. We bring a calm presence, deep expertise, and an obsession with making sure things run smoothly—so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with the Oso team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We actually hired them about 2 years in advance, so we got to work with them for a super long time! One of the biggest reasons that we wanted to hire Oso specifically was because of their decor inventory, which was 100% available to use at no additional cost with their full wedding planning package. Weddings can be extremely wasteful in terms of decor, so it was nice to be able to consciously be a bit more sustainable! We honestly ended up hiring Oso for so many other services as well — Michelle did an amazing job with our signage, they also have a great photobooth package, and Michelle’s sister owns Bobaholics so we were able to get a discounted rate for a boba bar! It really felt like a one-stop shop :) Michelle, Gen, Raymundo, and Gennie were all so helpful in coordinating with vendors and giving us wedding advice/guidance - working with them also gave us confidence that we weren’t missing any important steps or details of wedding planning. They were also available by text/email anytime, and they always responded extremely quickly, which I so appreciated! Talking to them felt more like talking to friends who were super passionate about wedding planning! On the actual day of the wedding, my husband and I felt so stress-free because of Oso - they seamlessly guided everyone to stay on schedule, had walkie talkies to communicate with each other, and constantly asked us if we needed any food/water/etc. They took care of passing out our vendor tips, and set up all of our decor with time to spare! When people ask us for wedding planning advice, we always say that hiring a planner was the best decision we made - specifically Oso Events! They are truly the best at what they do :) We could not be more grateful to them!

Lizzie jumped in as our wedding planner midway through the planning process and didn’t miss a beat! She made every part of the process so seamless. She really took the time to get to know us and our style/preferences and recommended vendors that fit our needs perfectly. Every request was met with a positive attitude and a willingness to make anything work. It was so nice to have a roadmap and to be able to focus on the big picture, knowing that all of the little details were being taken care of. The day of our wedding was totally stress-free and executed perfectly so that we were able to enjoy our time with loved ones. We didn’t even find out until after the event that our pizza order for the after-party had been cancelled! Lizzie somehow made sure it still showed up as expected.

She was truly on top of every detail, organized, calm under pressure and had an incredible way of connecting with the couple, their families, myself, and other vendors involved which made the day flow seamlessly! Her attention to detail ensured that nothing was overlooked. Her personality flowed perfectly with the day, vendors involved, and the couple. She was able to meet every question with a clear and confident answer which also helped the day run so smoothly. In this industry, it’s truly hard to find someone who can combine such perfect attention to detail with kindness and grace and I have to say The Southern Planner is just that!!

Wow. We truly can't recommend Demi, Delaney, Alyssa and the Wilder Mind team enough. They were absolutely amazing and truly contributed to the smoothness and ease of our wedding day. My husband and I typically consider ourselves to be a bit of control freaks, but working with Demi and Delaney we were able put our complete faith in them, let our guard down, and know that their team had it all covered. We used Wilder Mind's Day of wedding coordination services and they were on point from day one of working together pre wedding. The team was so experienced and proactive in the planning calls, thorough details, and overall organization. Having Wilder Mind cover all the minute details for the wedding and thinking of things we never would have thought to consider like ceremony seating, timeline details, and overall wedding etiquette was a huge comfort for us amidst the stress of wedding planning. We had our full trust in Demi that she would handle it, and handle it she did. Demi and Alyssa were thoughtful enough to even record 70 videos and photos for us throughout the night and shared them with us before they left, it was so nice to get to relive the beauty of such a special night after it had just flown by! Having the Wilder Mind team behind us took so much stress off our plates and the cherry on top was that they made us feel like celebrities throughout the night! At the end of the night, back in our hotel room, exhausted and deliriously happy - we both agreed, working with the WilderMind team was some of the best money we spent for our wedding.

My husband and I got married on 6/15/2024. I handled majority of our wedding planning, but as an OCD bride, my biggest anxiety was not being able to be hands on for the day of our wedding.

That’s when I knew I needed a day of coordinator. I came across Star Rose Creations and I’m SO happy that I did. Miranda and Kylie are absolutely gems!!

I’ve always been inspired by the strong, ambitious women in my life who built successful small businesses in the hospitality industry — from restaurant owners and bakers to caterers and florists. Growing up surrounded by their entrepreneurial spirit, I was motivated to follow my own path and create something meaningful in the world of events. ​ After spending two years working as a Wedding Coordinator at the Westin, the pandemic hit and forced a pause on hotel weddings. That unexpected turn of events only fueled my determination to turn my passion into a full-time business. And so, Kaci Danae Events was born.

We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.

Evviva made planning our wedding so easy. Kat and her team are so amazing to work with and made our day run seamlessly. We also had them do design and Kat totally brought my vision to life. Kat is so creative and made our wedding more beautiful than we could even imagine. She took my Pinterest inspo and thought of details that I never have come up with myself such as drink menus, a seating chart and beautiful invitations that matched my vision perfectly. I could not recommend Kat and her team enough. If you’re on the fence, hire them! It will be one of the best decisions you make in the wedding planning process.

My husband and I will never stop recommending BW Studio Events!!!! Blair is an absolute pro! She has a fool-proof strategy for wedding planning, a wealth of wedding knowledge and connections with the highest quality vendors, and a stunning vision and ability to understand the vision of others! The peace of mind Blair's expertise and communication brought to our planning process was PRICELESS. We knew no detail would be missed, and we were confident that Blair could handle any challenge that might come our way, whether it was on the day of or during planning. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and the way the vision in my head came to life in our venue surpassed my expectations! Meanwhile, I had the most chill, beautiful morning getting ready for the wedding, and I have her assistant Elly to thank for it! She was absolutely spectacular. She was present every moment we needed her and blended into the background while sneakily helping, like steaming our dresses and setting up the gifts for my ladies without us even knowing. She was like our secret fairy godmother! And when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and was feeling anxious, she was the most calm presence. She really helped me keep my composure. So so grateful for all she did for us! She made me feel so special :] Long story short, if you're wondering if hiring a wedding planner is worth it, I'm here to tell you THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

Working with Erika O'Brien Events as our wedding planner was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, Erika's communication style was laid-back yet professional, and she demonstrated an incredibly organized approach to planning our special day. Her attention to detail was excellent, and she executed flawlessly without any ego, working tirelessly before, during, and after our wedding to ensure everything ran smoothly. Although we hired Erika for month-of coordination, for the 9 months leading up to the wedding she was in doing checkins and helping us as needed. She helped wrangle vendors, create a detailed schedule, and handle all the little details so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Erika's expertise and calming presence were invaluable, and we highly recommend her services to any couple planning their wedding.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

About wedding planners

How much does a wedding planner cost?

On average, a full-service wedding planner can cost between $3,000 and $10,000. It depends on where you live and where you’re getting married. Planners in areas with high costs of living, like New York City and San Francisco, may charge upwards of $20,000. If you’re having a destination wedding, consider using a planner local to the area—you’ll avoid paying extra for travel, accommodations, and meals. Day-of coordinators cost less. They may have a flat fee between $1,000 and $5,000, or charge hourly. Always ask about pricing up front so nothing comes as a surprise later.

What do wedding planners do?

  Think of wedding planners as jack-of-all-trades experts when it comes to weddings. Many offer different levels of service to meet your needs. If you just want
  day-of coordination, for example, your planner will be there to make sure your ceremony and reception go off without a hitch. This may mean setting up vendors or directing your wedding party and guests to make sure everyone is where they need to be at the right time. On the other end of the spectrum, full-service planning may involve:
  <ul>
    <li>Starting the planning far in advance</li>
    <li>Budget management</li>
    <li>Coordinating with your venue</li>
    <li>Recommending vendors and negotiating contracts</li>
    <li>Staying on top of trends and making suggestions</li>
    <li>Ironing out all-important last-minute details</li>
    <li>Running interference with family members if conflict arises</li>
    <li>Making a schedule and ensuring everything runs smoothly</li>
    <li>Executing on your vision, from the rehearsal dinner to the reception</li>
  </ul>
  

Should we get a wedding planner?

Planners are great resources and can make planning your wedding much less stressful. If you’ve got the budget, a wedding planner is well worth the investment. Planners offer different service levels at varying price points. Choose the amount of help and cost that makes the most sense for you. At the bare minimum, you need someone (hired or delegated) to help manage the event day-of so you will be able to enjoy yourselves without worrying about too many logistics. If you decide to enlist a friend or family member to take on this role, keep in mind that this person will need to prioritize your needs over their own, and will no longer be attending or enjoying the wedding simply as a guest.
