Yes, for full planning and design, anywhere your story takes you.

Everything, from the venue and the vendors to the budget, contracts, design, guest travel, run of show and the day itself. Full planning and design

Yes. Partial planning is for couples who have made some decisions already, such as the venue or key vendors, and want us to lead from there. Wedding management, often called coordination, begins at least sixty days before the wedding and is offered at select venues. Design and creative direction is also offered on its own. Full planning remains the heart of what we do. Our guide to planning levels explains the differences.

Twelve to eighteen months before the wedding for full planning, and earlier for a wedding weekend, a destination or a venue in high demand.

Yes. Welcome dinners, the wedding, after parties and farewell brunches. Wedding weekends

Every outdoor wedding we plan has a complete second plan and a decision schedule. How a rain plan works

Every wedding is different, so we set the scope and the fee together after a first conversation, once we know the date, the size of the wedding and how much you would like us to take on. You see what is included before you decide.

As much as you want, and no more. We bring you the decisions that matter, with a recommendation for each, and handle the rest. Early meetings are unhurried and spaced out, they come closer together as the date approaches, and in the final week we talk every day.

The design starts with the concept. Based on its scale and style, we bring in a vetted florist and the makers we trust to build it. If you already love a vendor, tell us early and we will tell you honestly whether they fit the concept and the scale.

No. A wedding cannot be run well from the day itself, because the vendors, the timeline and the details all have to be confirmed beforehand. We step in at least sixty days before the wedding, and we offer it at a select list of venues we know well.

Of course. We review what is in place and tell you honestly where we see risk.

Yes. We have planned traditional tea ceremonies at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and 74 Wythe, and planned the Korean paebaek into a New York wedding. How a tea ceremony fits the day

Yes. Welcome and rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, proposals, milestone celebrations, anniversaries and vow renewals, as well as corporate and brand events. Private celebrations

Nothing formal. A rough date, an idea of the guest count, the city or venues you are considering, and a sense of how you want the day to feel. We will work out the rest together.
