FAQs
Traditional wedding planners often work within tiered packages (day of, month of, partial, full) or percentage-based pricing (10%-20% of wedding budget), requiring couples to commit to services before knowing what they’ll actually need. We take a different approach. Our planning begins with a foundational package at a fixed rate that covers the critical planning components and sets the wedding up for success from the moment couples book. From there, services can be added as planning evolves—allowing control over both the experience and the budget, while still benefiting from expert strategy and execution.
We begin working with couples the moment they book—not weeks before the wedding, when it’s often too late to make meaningful changes. Our approach offers early strategy, ongoing availability, and the flexibility to add services as planning evolves. Rather than paying for unnecessary inclusions—or missing out on the support that matters most—couples build a planning experience tailored to their needs. It’s ideal for those who value choice, transparency, and expert guidance at every stage, without the full-planning price tag.
Fixed pricing removes guesswork and incentives. Our fees are not tied to vendor commissions or percentages, which means recommendations are based solely on what’s right for you—not what benefits the planner. Couples receive honest guidance, clear pricing, and full transparency.
What to expect? Hear from our previous clients!
Every call had a detailed agenda, and she provided recap emails so we always left knowing what she needed from us and we received an outline of what tasks she would be tackling next. Her proactive approach made it feel like she was anticipating our needs, which completely diminished our stress.

Despite a shorter timeline, Mailyse helped us make everything we wanted come true. She helped with the parts we didn't know we wanted -- she was patient and never flustered at our many moments of indecisiveness, even creating beautiful mood boards and concepts for us to choose from to help visualize
