THE COST OF YOUR EVENT

My portfolio represents weddings and events at a variety of price points.

But what will your wedding cost? The truth is, I don't know.  It is impossible to determine the cost of an experience that has not been designed yet.  Your wedding or event will be tailored precisely to your desires, and its cost will be aligned with the resources we need to bring our vision to life.

Beginning at $2,500 per person, an event for 100 guests has a starting budget of $250,000. The final cost, however, is shaped by your selections, with some couples spending a bit less and others investing significantly more. The average wedding you see and love on this page and my social media account will be between $3500 and $5000 per person.

The wedding budget is influenced by location, floral designs, audiovisual needs, and more. We meticulously account for food, beverages, rentals, entertainment, services, and my expertise. Together, we'll craft a detailed estimate that ensures an unparalleled experience for you and your guests.

Ultimately, however, we are not driven by numbers because this isn’t about the stuff—it’s about how the stuff makes you feel.

Where do we begin with such a wide spectrum of options and price ranges?  Some of my clients have the freedom to dream and explore boundlessly, with no financial limitations. Others approach me with a predetermined budget in mind. In such cases, I strive to design within those boundaries, always infusing the day with customized touches, elevating the experience above the ordinary while honoring the investment parameters. As always, we'll ensure the optimal use of resources to manifest your dream event. I want to spend a dollar and make it look as if we spent two…

Once we begin working together, I will present you with three budget projections outlining the various ways you can allocate your funds. This allows us the opportunity to delve into the business side of things before making definitive choices. You are encouraged to ask questions and inquire about all things. You must have a profound understanding of where the money will flow and the value that your investment will bring to your experience.  We will spend whatever it takes to create the experience you want, but never more than is necessary.   

Crafting a wedding is a major investment, one that I shall oversee with the utmost care, treating your financial outlay as if it were my very own.

WHAT DOES PLANNING COST

Pricing is meticulously tailored to the magnitude of work required. A general rule of thumb is that wedding planning and design will make up 17% - 20% of your total budget.

Travel expenses, administrative fees, and minimums may apply and will be disclosed for your approval in advance. 

MONEY SHOULD BE DISCUSSED

I believe that you make your best decisions when you have all of the information.  Let's have a direct conversation about your financial investment.  I'll assess what you need, develop an overall budget, and provide you with a custom quote.  And remember, we're just talking.
