This has been one of our biggest obstacles lately. It has been really hard to spread the word without being asked how much we charge. It is a complex question for planners as our fees are always different to compliment the budget we are working within. The demand for each wedding is always changing, as are we. So here is a little blog we put together to educate our clients on what we have to offer. If anyone has questions, feel free to contact either Ashton or Lindsay... or by simply emailing us at wildandwonderfulweddings@gmail.com

ABOUT OUR FEES

 

EVERY wedding is different. EVERY budget is different. Most importantly, every BRIDE is different. However, every single wedding is of the utmost importance and no matter what our fee, we will give you our absolute best. Keep in mind that including special details for your day is our mission, and we guarantee a memorable experience. We are committed to your every need, and in making the wedding day your vision come to life!

According to WV Weddings, the average cost of a wedding in 2009 was $23,867. Most wedding coordinators charge 10 to 15% of the final wedding budget for day of coordination. We do offer additional services, but these can be negotiated during our free consult. Our average wedding costs $10,000 and as we are a starting business, we tend to charge less than our competitors.

Currently we offer planning help and advice within the cost of our 10/15%. Most wedding planners do not. This usually doubles the cost, as networking is extremely time consuming. This is an extreme asset to have as most coordinators have exclusive relationships with surrounding vendors This can connect you easily with those who will be most beneficial. Please note that we will eventually change our prices to reflect this feature.

PACKAGES

“It’s a Nice Day for a White Wedding” - This package includes day of coordination only. We will confirm vendors, help keep the time-line on track, and execute decorating the atmosphere from start to finish. This includes breaking down and helping other vendors with the clean up.

“Get Me to the Church on Time” - Within this package you have access to our network of vendors and venues. We do research to help plan your perfect day and advise you on what choices will compliment your style best. We provide 24/7 advice and help you to stay on track. Of course, this package includes everything mentioned in the previous one as well.

“Love AND marriage” - This is our FULL service package. Differences reflected here include being available for all venue meet and greets, accompanying you to dress fittings and such, and planning out every detail down to ice cubes and beyond! This is for our particular brides, our perfectionists, or our brides who are simply too busy to do it all on their own. We can go to appointments FOR you or WITH you. We are completely and totally available to you based on your schedule. This basically makes us your “call-girl.” We will be the subordinate bridesmaid you only wish you had.

“Bundles of Love” - These are special prices that you can receive for booking us WITH another of our preferred vendors. Please ask us about these as they will constantly change and vendors are exclusive.

“Love in Bloom” - Add the service of having your floral arranged for you! This allows you to order flowers at cost (this price would not reflect cost of supplies, but the execution of centerpieces, focal points, bouquets, etc) and have them put together without paying the extra cost to a florist. This would be an up-charge to any previous package as it is an add-on. We have also included favors and special customized details in the past. Ask about this today!

　

*It is customary to tip the planners on top of their salary. This would obviously be based on performance. This allows some flexibility in your budget, and also allows you to overcompensate your planner if you see fit. This is not expected, but more of a judgment based on the work of your planner.

**Most planners have a networking log with vendors and receive special prices for their brides. This is another benefit of hiring a coordinator. We are currently negotiating specials with a select few vendors which we will advertise upon confirming. Please ask us about this if you are interested in our “bundles of love.”

***All prices are varied and subject to change. Please contact us today for a quote.

****50% of payment is due within 30 days of agreement. This is non-refundable in the case of cancellation. Final balance will be due the day of the wedding.
