I hear about wedding planners helping with the timeline of planning a wedding and assisting in things. But I don’t want to make decisions. I’ve never been to an ugly wedding and after discussing my vision and vibe I trust a professional to do it. Maybe give me two options and I’ll pick one here and there. Is this possible? Do wedding planners do this? I’m really not interested in doing the planning - I’m an over thinker and feel planning a wedding will kill me lol.

I’m doing the full service yes.
She’s brought me inspiration photos to start and asked me specific questions about each (eg do you like candles or high centerpieces, etc) and then brought me back 3 options for everything. I told her I didn’t want more than that 😂

I think it’s incredibly dependent on where in the country you are. I was quoted $10k for an NYC wedding, but we’re paying just under $5k at an extremely popular wedding city

Yes. This is called “full service planning”. It will cost you $ but you won’t have to make any design decisions

As others have said, look for full service planning or wedding designer and planners. A friend of mine does this and runs about 10k at a minimum her services, just FYI

I went with full service and it was $10k. Worth every penny.

The quote I got for full service was $12-14k, also have seen a flat fee like $5k and then 5-10% charge on top of anything they book you (eg if the florist is $5k you’d pay the florist and then pay the planner $500)

I’m using a full service planner in a small city and they are about 2 years old and it’s costing 3500$

It was sold to me as “you basically just show up to your own wedding”

It’s a tiny bit more than that but overall I’m so happy I did it

“They” as in the business is two years old.

Mine is I’m a developing country so it doesn’t make sense to quote in dollars. But about 10% of the overall cost of the wedding

I have a partial planner and she gave me 4-8 options for each vendor and I just reached out to the ones I like and booked them. Mine cost $2,250 for this.

Need some advice! Should we update our wedding start time to 4pm so we can have our after party 10pm-1am instead of 5pm wedding start and 11pm-1am after party?

We can realistically contact all who RSVPd yes to let them know AND a 4pm start time means we still have daylight (it’s a winter wedding).
