PLANNING PHILOSOPHY
Wedding Planning That Lets You Stay in the Moment.
Your wedding deserves your attention for all the right reasons.
Weddings By Melissa E offers thoughtful planning and experienced support for couples who want to enjoy the process, feel confident in their decisions and be fully present when the day finally arrives.
Whether you want someone beside you from the beginning, need help bringing plans together, or simply want to hand over the details before the celebration begins, there is a level of support designed to meet you where you are.
PLANNING SERVICES
Three ways to be supported, start to finish
Every wedding is different, so I offer three levels of involvement depending on how much guidance you want along the way.
Full Planning
Starting at $4,000
The right fit for couples who want me involved from the very first decision through the rehearsal and wedding day, handling timelines, vendors and design details along the way.
Partial Planning
Starting at $3,000
For couples who have already started planning but want an experienced eye to organize decisions, fill gaps and pull everything together before the big day.
Wedding Day Coordination
Starting at $2,000
For couples who planned it all themselves and want a professional to step in near the wedding, finalize details, run the rehearsal and manage the wedding day.
Process
What working together looks like
01
Start with a conversation
Tell Melissa about your wedding, what you have planned so far and what matters most to you.
02
Create a clearer path forward
Together, you will determine the level of planning support that fits where you are now and where you want help.
03
Planning & Preparation
You will have an experienced professional helping you stay focused on what matters instead of feeling buried by every detail.
04
Be present for your wedding
When the day arrives, the goal is for you to experience it as the couple getting married, not as the people managing the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wedding Planning FAQs
When should I hire a wedding planner?
Earlier is usually better if you know you want professional planning support, especially for Full Planning. If you are already partway through the process, that does not mean you are too late. Partial Planning or Wedding Day Coordination may be a better fit depending on what you have already completed.
What's the difference between Full Planning and Partial Planning?
Full Planning is intended for couples who want the most comprehensive level of support throughout the planning process.
Partial Planning is better suited for couples who have already started planning and want professional guidance helping bring the remaining pieces together.
What if I've already planned most of my wedding?
Wedding Day Coordination may be the best place to start. It is designed for couples who are comfortable handling much of the planning themselves but do not want to manage everything once the wedding day arrives.
How much do wedding planning services cost?
Current starting investments are:
Full Planning: Starting at $4,000
Partial Planning: Starting at $3,000
Wedding Day Coordination: Starting at $2,000
