Frequently asked questions

The things couples ask us most — and if your question isn't here, just reach out. We'd love to help.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

We're based in the DMV and work with couples across DC, Maryland, Virginia, and the surrounding region. If your venue is a little further out, just ask — we're happy to travel for the right couple, and any travel details are worked out up front.

How far in advance should we reach out?

For full planning, eight to twelve months out is a lovely sweet spot — but we've happily jumped in with far less notice, too. If your date is coming up fast, reach out anyway and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it work.

What's the difference between Full Planning and Day-of Coordination?

With Full Wedding Planning, we're your partner from the very beginning — design, vendors, budget, and timeline, all managed alongside you. With Day-of Coordination, you've done the planning and we step in to run everything flawlessly so you can relax and enjoy it. Not sure which fits? Tell us about your day and we'll point you to the right one. See the packages →

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! A deposit reserves your date, and the remaining balance is split into manageable installments leading up to your wedding — so it never has to feel like one big lump sum.

What's the client portal, and do we really get one?

You do — and it's one of our favorite things. From the moment you book, you get your own private, beautifully designed portal that's home to your whole wedding: your guest-facing wedding website, RSVPs and seating, contracts, payments, documents, planning tools, and a direct line to Maddie — all in one calm place.

Can we add content creation, a photo booth, bridal suite styling, or décor & rentals?

Absolutely — and it's all in-house, so you get one trusted team for your whole day instead of juggling six vendors. Each can be booked on its own or added right alongside your planning package.

What happens right after we inquire?

We'll set up a quick, no-pressure call to get to know you and your vision and answer anything on your mind. If it feels like a fit, we'll send everything you need to book — then the fun begins. See the full journey →

Do you only do weddings?

Not at all. We plan and coordinate all kinds of celebrations — bar and bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, showers, and more — with the same care and joy we bring to every wedding.

How do we get started?

Fill out our inquiry form and Maddie will be in touch personally. That's it — no long forms, no runaround, just a warm hello. Say hello →
