02Approach

Calm leadership, clear budgets, one timeline

Vestry Rose Weddings takes a small number of weddings a year on purpose, so every couple has a planner who knows them. Your lead planner builds the master production schedule, vets every vendor contract in writing, leads the rehearsal and manages each transition on the day. The studio never takes vendor kickbacks or commissions, so every recommendation is made for your budget alone.

06Questions

Common questions about planning

How far in advance should we book a wedding planner?

For full-service planning and venue scouting, most couples get in touch 10 to 16 months before the date, especially for spring and autumn Saturdays. For ceremony or reception coordination, 4 to 8 months ahead secures the date; the intensive work then begins six to eight weeks before the celebration.

Do you take a percentage of our budget or vendor commissions?

Never. Every package is a flat fee or an itemised scope agreed in writing before you commit. The studio accepts no referral fees from venues or suppliers, so its recommendations stay unbiased and any trade discount goes straight back into your budget.

What should we bring to our first consultation?

No finished binder needed. Vestry Rose Weddings takes twelve weddings a year and holds one consultation open each week, so bring a rough season or date range, an approximate guest count and an honest budget range. A venue contract or a few inspiration photos help too, if you have them.

How do date holds and payments work?

After your consultation the studio places a complimentary fourteen-day courtesy hold on your date alongside a written proposal. A signed agreement and an initial retainer secure the date, and the remaining payments follow in simple milestones. Nothing is charged for the hold.
