Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Virtual Budget Wedding Planner?
The Virtual Budget Wedding Planner is a fully virtual, flexible wedding planning service designed to help couples plan their wedding thoughtfully and within their budget. It offers professional guidance and support without the cost or commitment of full-service planning.
Is this service completely virtual?
Yes. All planning support is provided virtually, allowing you to access expert guidance from anywhere and on a schedule that works best for you.
Will I interact with a real person?
Yes! The consultations are virtual, but you will be meeting with a real, live, experience event planner!
Do I have to book additional planning services?
No. There are zero commitments to book any other services, consultations, or packages. This service is completely standalone and à la carte.
How does the à la carte support work?
You choose the planning support you need—whether that’s help creating a budget, searching for a venue, reviewing contracts, or building a day-of timeline. You’re not required to use services you don’t need. Each meeting is focused on one task.
Is this service only for couples on a tight budget?
Not at all. While this service is ideal for budget-conscious couples, it’s really for anyone who wants clarity, guidance, and professional insight without having to commit to any full- or partial-service planning packages.
Can this help me decide if I need a wedding planner or coordinator?
Absolutely. Many couples use this service to better understand what a wedding planner or coordinator does and to determine whether they want to move forward with additional support later.
What happens if I decide I need to upgrade my services to day-of/month-of coordination, partial planning, or full planning?
There is absolutely no pressure to book additional consultations or upgrade your planning support. The Virtual Budget Wedding Planner is designed to stand on its own. That said, if you decide you’re ready for additional support and choose to upgrade to day-of/month-of coordination, partial planning, or full planning (see our Wedding Services page), any payments made toward Virtual Budget Wedding Planner consultations will be credited to your upgraded package balance. This ensures your investment continues to support your wedding—no wasted planning time or fees.
Will you manage vendors or communicate with them on my behalf?
No. This service provides guidance, recommendations, and review support—but vendor communication and management remain the responsibility of the couple.
Do you provide legal advice when reviewing contracts?
No. Contract and invoice reviews are for comprehension only, helping you understand terms, language, and overall structure. This does not replace legal advice.
When should I book this service?
You can book at any stage of the planning process—whether you’re just starting out, feeling stuck, or nearing the final details and want a professional review.
Is this the same as day-of coordination?
No. This service does not include on-site or day-of coordination. It focuses on virtual planning support, preparation, and guidance ahead of the wedding day.
How do we get started?
Simply reach out through the inquiry form. You will then be guided to pay and schedule your one-on-one consultation session. You select which wedding planning task you’d like to focus on.
