Important Details
-
Most décor set-up can be completed in the allotted service time. On rare occasions when décor set-up is more elaborate, the wedding planner may need to be on-site for more hours. Additional hours can be added at a rate of $100/hour. Décor set-up time will be determined 6 weeks before the wedding day and discussed with you in advance. (No last minute charges or day-of surprises!)
-
Please note that the wedding planner must remain on-site to complete end-of-night final venue walk-through with venue manager. Therefore, hours of service must be walked back from end-of-night time. Eleven hours is usually sufficient and it would be a rare occasion that additional planning hours need to be added on to accomplish day-of coordination.
-
A one time travel fee of $200 will be assessed for wedding venues >100 miles from Charlottesville, Virginia (ZIP code 22901) in order to cover planner’s travel expenses.
-
Additional planning hours can be added for $100/hour. This is a good option if you need more substantial design assistance; accompaniment on vendor visits; if you would like additional planning meetings, or if you need additional on-site wedding planner time the day of your wedding.
-
A non-refundable retainer for 50% of all services provided is due at time of contract signing. The remainder of the payment is due 6 weeks prior to the wedding date. Up to 3 payments can be accepted. Payment can be made check, ACH transfer, or credit card. There is no fee for credit card or ACH payments, although ACH is preferred.
