In this post, we’ll explain the differences between full wedding planning, partial wedding planning, and day-of wedding management packages, and explore the benefits of each so that you can choose the best option for your needs.

Full Wedding Planning

A full wedding planning package encompasses all aspects of the wedding planning process, from the initial consultation to the final send-off. With this package, the wedding planner takes care of every detail, including creating a vision for the wedding and executing it flawlessly on the big day. It’s the perfect choice for couples seeking a stress-free planning experience and who are willing to invest more time and money into their wedding day.

With Full Wedding planning, you can also expect your wedding planner to offer advice and assistance for other wedding functions. Including things such as the rehearsal dinner and hotel accommodations in Atlanta. Ordering custom-designed menus, setting up wedding favors, keeping up with RSVPs, cueing the DJ, coordinating with your photographer to capture essential shots, and the list goes on with Full Wedding Planning. No rock is left unturned from creating a wedding vision to ensuring a slice of cake is waiting for you in your room at the end of the night, because who doesn’t want a late-night slice of wedding cake? 

The main benefits of full wedding planning include but are not limited to: 

• Stress-free planning with the assistance of a dedicated wedding planner from conception to execution.
• Expert guidance for choosing the right vendors, theme, and all other aspects you need assistance with deciding for your wedding.
• Fine-tuned attention to detail for every aspect of your wedding from invitations to wedding favors.

Partial Wedding Planning

A partial wedding planning package strikes a balance between full-service wedding planning and day-of coordination. This package is perfect for couples who have already begun planning their wedding but could use some assistance with certain aspects or vendors. With this package, a professional wedding planner steps in to provide support and guidance where needed. The planner can help with tasks such as venue selection, vendor referrals, and contract review. making the planning process smoother. By choosing a partial wedding planning package, couples can save time and reduce stress, while still ensuring that their wedding reflects their unique style.

This package allows couples to work with a wedding planner on a limited basis, saving them money compared to a full-service planning package. A partial planning package is customizable to the couple’s needs and preferences. Couples can work with a wedding planner to determine which specific aspects of the planning process they need assistance with. With the support of a wedding planner, couples can reduce their workload and stress as they delegate specific tasks to their planner. 

Partial Wedding Planning is a good fit if you… 

• Are a couple who enjoys the wedding planning process but could use some help with vendor selection, design elements, or other key aspects.
• Have already started your planning process such as booking vendors and are feeling overwhelmed and could benefit from expert guidance.
• Want both a cost-effective and beautifully executed wedding.

Day-of Coordination

Day-of-wedding management is a service that allows couples to enjoy their wedding day without having to worry about the logistics. This package is perfect for couples who have already planned their wedding but want to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day of the event. With day-of coordination, a professional wedding planner will take over and oversee the final details, ensuring that everything goes according to plan. Your day-of wedding coordinator steps in around 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding day. In doing so they create the final timeline, join you on your final venue walkthrough and communicate with vendors. Keep in mind that most venues require at a minimum a “Day-of Wedding Planner” to assist you with executing the last few weeks leading up to the wedding as well as the wedding day.

Another benefit of a day-of wedding coordinator is that they can help ensure that your wedding runs on schedule. From the ceremony to the reception, a day-of coordinator can keep everything running smoothly and ensure that you stay on track with your timeline. This can be especially helpful if you have a tight schedule or if you’re trying to fit a lot into your wedding day.

What are some things you can expect from your day of wedding coordinator?

• A stress-free wedding day as your wedding coordinator will troubleshoot issues that may arise.
• Vendor coordination to ensure the timeline is executed and on schedule
• A point of contact for guest communications or questions.
