Wedding Planning Pricing – 20% of total wedding budget ($3,500 minimum)
Wedding planning services are typically based on a percentage of your overall budget. Industry average is about 20% of the total wedding budget. For example, a $40,000 wedding generally equates to around an $8,000 planning investment.
We’ll tailor our proposal to your specific needs, guest count, and complexity of design. This approach keeps pricing transparent while ensuring your planning support scales appropriately to the scope of your celebration. During your consult, we’ll provide a customized quote after understanding your goals, priorities, and vision.
