The weddings we remember are the ones where the couple spent their money on the things they actually cared about and left the rest alone.

Your checklist, timeline and vendors in one place

Planning a wedding around Charlottesville means a lot of phone calls: the barn, the caterer, the photographer, the neighbour lending chairs. We keep all of it on one timeline you can open on your phone.

  • A planning checklist that says what to book, and when to book it
  • A shared online timeline your whole wedding party can read
  • Photographers, florists, caterers and DJs we have worked with around town

Day of coordination starts at $1,500 and full planning at $4,200. Bridal showers and rehearsal dinners can be added to either one.

Ask us about your date

Three ways to work with us

Every package comes with the checklists, the shared timeline and our list of Charlottesville vendors. Bridal showers and rehearsal dinners can be added to any of them.

Day of coordination

From $1,500

You have done the planning. We pick it up in the last month, run the rehearsal with your family, and keep the day itself moving to time.
