WELCOME TO YOUR CLIENT PORTAL , LIZZY & JOE!

We are so delighted to be your planners! Consider this portal your home for the season ahead, a single, considered space for your timeline, investment, creative partners, design brief, and every document in between.

We'll be tending to it as we move through the process together, so wander back whenever the mood strikes. And always, always reach out. A question, an idea, an inspiration photo at 11pm, we want it all.

We cannot wait to begin, and to bring your best day into being.

THE GENERAL ROAD AHEAD

A Season of Planning

  • The earliest season, wide open and full of possibility, where the shape of your celebration first comes into focus.

    1. Date, Investment & Guest List: Together, we land on your date, shape your investment, and begin drafting the guest list that will fill your celebration.

    2. Ceremony & Reception Venues: We source, tour, and secure the spaces that will hold your day; you simply choose the one that feels right.

    3. Gathering Inspiration: We begin curating your visual narrative, drawing from your Pinterest, your conversations with us, and the details only the two of you would think to mention.

    4. Engagement Ring Insurance: A small errand of your own. We're glad to point you toward a trusted resource.

  • The season where your vision sharpens, and your wedding begins to feel less like an idea and more like a place.

    • Theme & Color Story: We present a considered design direction, built entirely around your vision, for your review.

    • Save-the-Dates: Designed, ordered, and mailed with time to spare, so your guests can begin dreaming alongside you.

    • Rehearsal & Afterparty Venues: Sourced and secured on your behalf, with every alternative explored should the first not fit.

    • Wedding Party: Yours to choose. We simply ask to be looped in once your circle is set.

    • Attire: Your search begins here; we're happy to lend an eye if you'd like one.

    • Officiant: We help you find the right voice for your ceremony, or coordinate seamlessly with the one you've already chosen.

  • The season of gathering, as the people and craftspeople who will bring your day to life begin to fall into place.

    1. Catering & Entertainment: We manage every conversation, tasting, and negotiation, bringing you in only for the moments that matter most.

    2. Florist & Photography: Consultations and contracts are ours to handle; the final aesthetic decisions remain beautifully yours.

    3. Hair & Makeup: Trials scheduled once your artists are chosen from our curated recommendations.

    4. Transportation: Logistics considered and arranged as your day's rhythm comes into focus.

  • The season where the finer details step forward, and your celebration starts to feel unmistakably yours.

    1. Wedding Party & Parent Attire: Every detail communicated, so no one is left guessing what to wear.

    2. Hotel Room Blocks: Secured and managed for your traveling guests.

    3. Engagement Photos: Scheduled and coordinated on your behalf.

    4. Wedding Rings: A personal choice, with recommendations available should you want them.

    5. Wedding Website & Registry: Your website, designed and built by us; your registry, opened once invitations are on their way.

    6. Invitations & Favors: Designed, ordered, and timed to perfection.

    7. Cake & Celebrations: Your cake vendor sourced by us; your bachelor and bachelorette festivities left joyfully in your hands.

  • The season of small, personal touches, the ones only the two of you would think to include.

    1. Accessories: Veil, shoes, jewelry, entirely your own aesthetic to discover.

    2. Officiant Meeting: Coordinated to finalize every ceremonial detail.

    3. Menu: Final selections confirmed alongside your caterer.

    4. Guest Activities & Welcome Bags: Thoughtfully planned and assembled, true to your vision.

    5. Entertainment Playlist: Finalized in close coordination with your DJ or band.

  • The season where the plan sharpens into a true itinerary, precise and ready for the day ahead.

    1. Guest List & Seating: Finalized together once RSVPs have settled.

    2. MC Script & Rehearsal: Every word and moment mapped in advance.

    3. Day-of Timeline: Your full wedding day, and any following brunch, built minute by minute.

    4. Kid Activities: Considered and arranged, if little ones will be joining.

  • The final season, where anticipation gives way to readiness, and everything you've built together comes full circle.

    1. Wedding Party Gifts: A personal gesture. Ours to help brainstorm.

    2. Vendor Details & Parking: Every final thread confirmed on your behalf.

    3. Vows & Speeches: All yours to write, and ours to celebrate.

    4. Marriage License: One last errand for the two of you.

    5. Decor & Photo List: Finalized alongside your photographer.

    6. Final Stationery: Programs, menus, and every last paper detail, ordered and ready.
