What it means for LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned and describes celebrating love in all its forms, working with interfaith, non-religious and LGBTQ+ couples. If you want a planner who treats your wedding as ordinary business and keeps the focus on your comfort, that is a good sign. Be direct about family dynamics, guest lists and vendors you want to avoid.

Planning options

  • Full planning from the first decisions through the reception
  • Partial planning when you have done some of the work
  • Day-of coordination so you can relax on the wedding day
  • A consultation to talk through tastes and preferences

Working with a planner in New York

New York weddings often involve tight venues, loading rules and permits, so ask early how the planner handles logistics. Bring your rough budget, guest count and date range. Decide which tasks you want to keep, such as choosing the menu, and which you would gladly hand over.

Ask how often you will speak, who your contact is during the week of the wedding and which vendors the planner already knows. Request a clear scope in writing so everyone understands what is included.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hire a planner for the final weeks only?

Day-of coordination is one of the options offered, and partial planning can also cover a shorter window. Ask which fits your timeline.

How do I start?

Book a consultation. The planner uses it to learn about your tastes and what you want the experience to feel like.
