What Affects the Price
Why two quotes can look so different.
Level of service
Day-of coordination is the most affordable; full planning covers months of work.
Guest count
Larger weddings mean more vendors, more setup, and more people to guide.
Number of events
Rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and brunches each add coordination.
Design & decor
Planners who also style and set up decor include that time in their price.
Venue logistics
Bring-your-own-vendor venues need more coordination than all-inclusive ones.
Timeline
Short timelines can mean more hands-on work in fewer weeks.
