Question 1

What’s included in your full-service planning packages?

Accepted Answer

Every client gets a custom planning roadmap, full-day on-site production, vendor coordination, design support, and personalized communication from start to finish. You’ll have a dedicated lead planner, access via email, text, and voice memo, and a process built to match your pace. Whether you want a fully guided experience or just a trusted co-pilot, both packages give you clarity, structure, and support through every step.

Question 2

What’s the difference between your packages?

Accepted Answer

All three are full-service planning experiences. The Full Edit is for clients who want us to lead from day one. The Select is for clients who want to stay involved in key areas while we handle structure and execution. The Capsule (NJ + NY only) is for couples getting married at full-service venues—we handle the planning, then hand off for day-of. Same polish, same peace of mind. Just different levels of “please take this off my plate.”

Question 3

Will I still make decisions, or do you take over everything?

Accepted Answer

You're always the decision-maker, we just make those decisions easier. With The Full Edit, we lead the process and bring you curated options to approve. The Select gives you more control in the areas you care about, with structure and support behind the scenes. The Capsule (NJ + NY only) is great if your venue handles execution. You’ll still get full planning help, then we hand off. Either way, you stay informed and in charge, without carrying the whole thing.

Question 4

How early should we reach out to book you?

Accepted Answer

We typically book 12–18 months out for weddings and 10–12 months for other events. If you’re even thinking about hiring a planner, it’s worth reaching out now. We’ll walk you through your options, answer questions, and hold your hand through the decision if you need it. Early contact = better planning and less stress later.

Question 5

Do you help with design, or do I need a separate designer?

Accepted Answer

You already know what looks good. Our role is to understand your style, help you refine the vision, and connect you with the right creative vendors to bring it to life. No upsells, no pressure, no forcing you to pick between ivory and ecru (unless you just found out you’re an autumn...then, ecru, obviously). We make sure your event feels as good as it looks. Beautiful doesn’t matter if it doesn’t run well. We deliver both.

Question 6

What kinds of events do you plan?

Accepted Answer

We plan weddings, mitzvahs, milestone celebrations, and corporate events across NJ, NY and NC. We also handle rehearsal dinners, after-parties, welcome events—if it’s part of your celebration weekend or needs structure and style, we’re in.

Question 7

What makes your planning process different from other planners?

Accepted Answer

We combine structure with intuition. From day one, you get a lead planner who’s backed by our full team, so things never fall through the cracks. We’re emotionally intelligent, highly organized, and focused on making planning work with your life, not take it over. Our process is clear, calm, and collaborative. No chaos. No chasing updates. Just smart decisions and a steady pace.

Question 8

Do you work with specific venues or vendor teams?

Accepted Answer

We work across a wide range of venues in NJ, NYC, the Hudson Valley, and Upstate NY. We don’t push preferred lists, we build teams based on your vibe, priorities, and budget. We’ll connect you with vendors we trust and manage all communication to keep things smooth.

Question 9

What if I’ve already booked a venue or some vendors?

Accepted Answer

Totally fine. Many of our clients come to us mid-way through planning. Whether you’ve booked a few vendors or haven’t started at all, we’ll meet you where you are, assess what’s been done, and build a strategy to carry it through. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just the right team to figure it out with.

Question 10

Do you plan weddings in North Carolina?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’re based in both Jersey City, NJ and Wilmington, NC. We plan full-service weddings throughout North Carolina, including Wilmington, Raleigh, and Charlotte. Our team works with couples who want a high level of support, wherever they are in the process. While The Capsule is only available in NJ + NY, The Full Edit and The Select are offered in all our service areas, including NC.

Question 11

Do you work in multiple states?

Accepted Answer

Yes—we’re based in Jersey City, NJ and Wilmington, NC, and plan weddings throughout New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina. Our work in North Carolina spans Wilmington, Raleigh, and Charlotte, and we’re familiar with both local venues and destination-style logistics. Whether you live in the area or are planning from afar, we’ll build the right support around you. The Full Edit and The Select are available in all three states.

Question 12

Do you work with couples who live out of state?

Accepted Answer

Yes—many of our clients live outside the area where they’re getting married. Whether you’re planning in NJ, NY, or NC from across the country (or overseas), we’ve got you. Our process is built for remote collaboration: clear communication, easy-to-use tools, and a team that keeps things moving so you don’t have to fly in for every meeting.

Question 13

Do you work with local vendors in North Carolina?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We’ve built strong relationships with trusted NC vendors across Wilmington, Raleigh, and Charlotte—from caterers and florists to tenting teams and rentals. We’ll connect you with the right creative partners based on your priorities, style, and budget.

Question 14

What’s it like to get married in Wilmington, NC?

Accepted Answer

Wilmington is where coastal charm meets modern celebration. Whether you’re planning a weekend near Wrightsville Beach or something downtown along the Cape Fear, Wilmington offers great venues, a relaxed pace, and that sweet spot between destination and local. We’re based here, so we know the landscape well—and how to make it work for you.

	Full-service planning	Event design
Description	We offer three full-service planning experiences: one for couples who want us to lead the entire process, one for those who prefer to stay involved with structure and support, and one designed for venue-led weddings that need smart planning up front. All include timelines, vendor management, and design support, so your day feels personal, polished, and exceptionally well-run.	Design is included in every package—help refining your vision, reviewing creative proposals, and connecting you with vendors who fit. But for couples who want a more hands-on approach, we offer a design add-on. It includes a custom vision board, rental and decor sourcing, and creative direction across all the visual details. We’ll help shape the look, name the vibe, and keep everything cohesive from start to finish.
