Hudson Valley Wedding Planners: 4 Main Types
Planning a wedding can be exhilarating yet daunting, especially when navigating the myriad of planning services available. As a venue committed to making your special day unforgettable, we understand the importance of choosing the right planning service that aligns with your needs and budget. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the various types of wedding planning services to help you make an informed decision:
1. Day-of Coordination:
Day-of coordination, often referred to as wedding day management, is ideal for couples who enjoy planning but need assistance executing their vision on the day of the wedding. Services typically include finalizing timelines, coordinating with vendors, and managing the flow of events on the wedding day itself.
Given the amount of details that are required to be decided, finalized and submitted >30 days out, most venues, including Stonehill’s, do not allow day-of coordination.
Estimated Cost: $1,500 - $3,500
2. Month-of Coordination:
Month-of coordination services are designed for couples who have already made most of their wedding arrangements but need professional assistance in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. This includes finalizing details, confirming vendors, and ensuring everything runs smoothly in the weeks leading up to the wedding day.
Estimated Cost: $3,500 - $5,000
3. Partial Planning:
Partial planning services cater to couples who have started planning but require more extensive assistance throughout the process. This may include assistance with vendor selection, budget management, and overall coordination of details leading up to the wedding day. Partial planners provide guidance and support tailored to the specific needs of the couple.
Estimated Cost: $5,500 - $8,500+
4. Full Planning:
Full planning services offer comprehensive assistance from start to finish, covering every aspect of wedding planning. This includes budget creation and management, venue selection, vendor coordination, design and décor, timeline creation, and overseeing all details on the wedding day. Full planners are involved in every decision to ensure a seamless and stress-free planning experience.
Estimated Cost: $8,500 - $25,000+
Choosing the Right Service:
When deciding on the type of planning service that best suits your needs, consider factors such as your budget, time available for planning, and the level of involvement you desire. Day-of and month-of coordination are great options for couples who prefer hands-on planning with professional oversight closer to the wedding day. Partial and full planning services are ideal for couples who want comprehensive support and guidance throughout the entire planning process.
