Partial Planning

We understand that not every couple wants a full-time planner to take on the majority of the wedding planning. However, every couple needs a local professional to ask questions, bounce ideas off of, make vendor recommendations, and be on-site on the wedding day to ensure their wedding day is beautiful, low-stress, and fun.

Ensuring your wedding day goes smoothly is crucial to you enjoying your wedding. With our partial planning package, you receive help in the beginning stages of planning to help you get started booking the right vendors and at the end of planning to make sure no detail was missed.

“Booking Lovely Day Events was easily the best decision of our entire wedding experience. They made sure we were hitting all of our planning goals, and our check-ins were crucial to our wedding planning. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect due to Lindsey and her team. The professionalism, the know-how, and their relationship with the vendors, they were everything! Lovely Day Events made our wedding day absolutely perfect.” - Erik

This is perfect for you if:

  • You are looking for more help than a “day of” wedding planner or a “month of” wedding planner, but don’t need all the services of a full-service wedding planner

  • You have time to plan a wedding on the weekends, after work, and during the week

  • You’re ready to jump in, take action, and get things done

  • You want advice and guidance along the way so you don’t overlook something

  • You love to plan and are very organized. Maybe you plan detailed vacations involving spreadsheets with every activity down to the restaurant to eat at each night or maybe your day job involves project management

  • You want a wedding planner to manage the day so that you don’t have to worry about anything

  • You don’t want to be stressed out or overwhelmed in the month before your wedding. Spoiler alert: this is when all your wedding vendors want to wrap up details, and all your guests start to ask you questions like, “What time is the ceremony” even though you put all the important details on your wedding website

  • The month leading up to your wedding, you would rather focus on the personal wedding details, picking your first dance song, finalizing your ceremony with your officiant, making your seating chart, writing thank you notes, and pre-wedding pampering and would gladly hand off managing all the emails from your wedding vendors.

  • You want local vendor referrals that are vetted, reliable, professional, and will do a fantastic job

  • Investment - Since each wedding couple has different guest counts, unique needs, and their own visions for their wedding, we create custom packages after a quick call. The average investment for the Partial Planning package for a 100-person wedding is $10,500.
