THE WEDDING PROCESS: TWO MAIN PARTS

Written By Jenna Campbell-Rockett

Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, but it can also feel like a lot to juggle. That’s why we break it down into two main parts:
1) Planning + Design and 2) Event Management
Understanding these can help you decide if you’re ready to tackle it all yourself—or if having a trusted planner by your side might be the best decision yet.

Planning + Design

Planning and design go hand in hand—they’re the foundation of your wedding day! From creating a cohesive vision to coordinating vendors, these two elements ensure every detail comes together beautifully.

What does this involve? Think of Planning + Design as the “big picture”. This includes everything from developing your wedding day vision, researching vendors, managing communication, tracking logistics, managing budget, & making sure everything aligns with your style, story, timeline, & budget.

How we make it happen:

  • Personalized Planning: There’s no such thing as a cookie cutter wedding. Every couple is unique and your planning process should be tailored to reflect that. Your wants, needs, budget, vision, and love story steer our planning ship! I spend time getting to know you, your partner and your priorities and create a planning process to you.

  • Modern Design: Long are the days of doing something because our parents did it! We want your design to feel like YOU! Our goal is to creating intentional, meaningful details that resonate with today's couples.

If the thought of juggling all the details and keeping everything organized makes your head spin, one of our Planning Packages might be a good fit!

Event Management

Once all the pre-planning is done, the real magic happens during Event Management. This is when we bring all those months of planning to life and make sure everything flows seamlessly.

What does this involve? Event Management is about transforming plans into action. It includes building detailed timelines, finalizing checklists, coordinating with vendors, and managing the final logistics on your wedding day to keep everything running smoothly.

How we make it happen:

  • Vendor Coordination: We handle communication with all your vendors leading up to the big day to confirm key details like arrival and setup times, strike schedules, set up needs, and service specifics

  • Timeline Management: We build a comprehensive timeline that ensures every moment and detail is noted and organized to keep the day running smoothly

  • Logistics & Problem Solving: We’re there to managing your guests, your vendors, and every detail you’ve thoughtfully planned out. If unexpected hiccups arise (and they usually do!), we handle them discreetly and efficiently, ensuring you and your guests never notice a thing

If you're confident in managing the planning & design aspects but just need someone to execute your final plan, one of our Coordination Packages would be the perfect fit!

Take a moment to think about how much time, energy, and know-how you can realistically dedicate to your wedding. Planning and design require creativity, research, and organization. Event management demands attention to detail, precise timing, and confidence in handling curveballs.

Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to step in and make your wedding experience as seamless and joyful as it should be!
