Wedding planning and design services

Every service has a written scope and a flat fee, never a percentage of the wedding budget. Where a price reads “from”, it becomes a fixed figure in the written estimate before any date is held.

Calm leadership, clear budgets, one timeline

The office takes one wedding to a date, so the planner who meets you at the consultation is the planner who runs the day. Suppliers are vetted and recommended, never resold: no commission is taken from a florist, a caterer or a band, and every contract is signed between the couple and the supplier directly. Nothing is held until the scope, the schedule and the fee are agreed in writing.

Cakes, settings and ceremony details

The small details a design scheme has to settle: the cake, the place setting and the shape of the ceremony. The full gallery has rooms and tables as well.

Meet the planners

Four specialists share one timeline: planning, design, production and the day itself. A preferred planner can be named on the contact form, and availability is confirmed separately.

  • A long table under a white cloth with blush napkins, gold chairs and table number one on a turned wooden stand.

    Certified Floral Designer (CFD) and Accredited Event Designer (AED). Shapes ceremony installations, seasonal floral recipes, linen palettes and candlelit tablescapes, all drawn to the measured room and costed before anyone falls in love with them.

    Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) with seven years in venue operations and contract negotiation. Leads venue visits, checks rain-backup capacity, power and noise rules, holds the supplier contracts and re-confirms every booking in writing eight weeks out.

    Emmett Sorensen

    Coordination lead

    Certified Food and Beverage Executive and ServSafe Manager, with nine years in fine-dining banquet operations. Leads the two coordinators on the day, keeping catering, bar service and dinner pacing in step with the toasts from morning access to the last car.

Kind words from couples and families

  • We were planning a 130-guest Providence wedding from Chicago and felt overwhelmed before the first consultation. Nadia set a realistic budget, kept a written tracker updated after every payment and walked us through a tricky venue contract. When rain arrived that afternoon, cocktail hour had moved indoors before we noticed.

    Dana Whitfield · Full wedding planning

  • We had booked every supplier ourselves and only wanted someone to run the day. Eight weeks out, Priya re-confirmed each booking in writing and caught a rental delivery clash we had missed entirely. On the night, Emmett’s team turned the room after the ceremony and cued the speeches, and our parents never lifted a finger.

    Marcus Oyelaran · Wedding day management

  • Six months out we were behind on almost everything, with a string trio, two readers and a nervous wedding party. The office took on the outstanding half without suggesting we start again, and the rehearsal the evening before meant everyone knew where to stand and when to walk. Guests still mention how peaceful the ceremony felt.

Common questions about planning

Can we hire you if the venue and some suppliers are booked?

Yes. Many couples arrive with a venue and a photographer already booked; partial planning, design and styling or wedding day management each pick up from where things stand. The free consultation settles which fits and ends with a written recommendation, which is sometimes the cheaper service.

Do you charge a percentage of the budget or take commissions?

No. Each service carries a flat fee for a written scope. A price shown as “from” depends on guest count, venue and season, and becomes a fixed figure in the written estimate before any work begins. No referral fee is taken from any supplier, so any trade discount stays in the couple’s budget.

Who will actually be there on the wedding day?

The planner who runs your consultation runs the day, with two coordinators alongside from supplier access in the morning to the last car. Only one full-planning or partial-planning wedding is accepted for any date, so that planner is never split between two.

Can a couple ask for a particular planner?

Yes. Name the planner in the message field on the contact form. Availability is confirmed separately, and asking for a named planner never counts as a booking.

Begin with a free consultation

Bring a season, a rough guest count and an honest budget. You leave with a written summary of what was discussed and what it would cost, and no obligation.

Open dates and new work, now and then

An occasional email when a Saturday opens in the diary or new rooms join the gallery. There is no fixed schedule, and one link in every message takes an address off the list.
