Wedding Planning Online Workbook

Most of our services are in a package format with a set price.  We are not able to do this with the partial & full wedding planning.
The cost is 12% -15% of the total actual wedding cost of the professionals hired with the assistance of the planner.  So if you hire a professional on your own without the assistance of the planner, this does not count toward the payment to the planner.
(Percentage is determined by the overall need of the planner)
Partial is a minimum of $1500 (Venue is already contracted, just a need for other professionals)
Full is a minimum of $3000 (Venue needed and other professionals)
 
 
Sample of Assistance:
Meeting and greeting vendors
Ensuring vendors complete contracted services

Jeanne Stark and the team at Hudson Valley Ceremonies were incredible. Everything went smoothly because of them. They were somehow everywhere at once, but never felt in the way, and they really helped to keep things organized. They are friendly, efficient and very experienced. I highly recommend them for anyone needing a little (or a lot of) help with their wedding.

It scares me to think what would have happened if we hadn’t hired Jeanne from Hudson Valley Ceremonies. Even though she was technically only our “Day-of-Coordinator,” she really did so much more. Getting married at a private home was a lot of work, but Jeanne made is so much easier by being at the house when all of the rentals were delivered and coordinating their placement. She came to our rehearsal as well. And on the day of the wedding, she was the first one to arrive and the last one to leave….dealing with all the minor problems and making sure everyone was having a great time. For example, it wasn’t until an hour into our reception that I discovered that our valet parkers just hadn’t shown up – Jeanne took care of it without stressing me or the groom out. Hiring Jeanne was definitely the best decision we made during our whole wedding planning process!

    I am recently engaged, and just booked Diane Stredicke for our photography. She recommended we check you out for a wedding coordinator. We will be having our wedding on June 23, 2012 at my family’s horse farm in Lagrangeville, and are interested in seeing if your services are available. Thank you very much.
