Tips for a Smooth Planning Journey

Book your coordinator 8–12 months before your date
Prepare a wishlist of must-have elements for your consult
Finalize guest count at least six weeks prior to lock in vendors
Share your style inspirations early to shape the design plan
Assign a day-of point person for vendor and guest questions

Questions To Ask

Are you available on our date, and will you personally lead our wedding; how many events do you handle that day?
Which package do you recommend—full, partial, or on the day—and what exactly is included and excluded?
What experience do you have with our venue and ceremony type, and are you familiar with curfew, corkage, and permit rules?
What are your fees and payment terms, and do you receive supplier commissions; how will you ensure transparent pricing?
What is your contingency plan for rain or typhoon, power issues, or supplier no-shows, and who decides when to activate Plan B?
