Early booking ensures peace of mind and allows us to dedicate ample time and resources to making your wedding vision a reality.

What is the typical planning timeline for a wedding?
planning & coordinating
The planning timeline can vary based on your wedding date and specific requirements. However, I generally recommend starting the planning process 12 to 18 months before your wedding date to ensure ample time for venue booking, vendor selection, and other arrangements.
What is the difference between Full Service Wedding Planning and Lead Up Coordination?
With my Full Service Wedding Planning package, I am typically the first vendor you book and I’m working closely with you from start to finish planning your entire wedding, from sourcing vendors to design, RSVPs, floor plans, and of course managing it all on the big day!
With my Lead Up Coordination package, you would have already planned your entire wedding yourself, but I jump in 3 months prior to get a good handle of your plans & introduce myself to your vendors so I can be your clone come the wedding day & coordinate it all for you.
How involved will I need to be in the planning process?
Your level of involvement is entirely up to you! Some couples prefer to be highly involved in every decision, while others prefer to provide guidance and then step back. I'll tailor our approach to suit your preferences and ensure a stress-free planning experience.
Will I have input into the full service wedding planning process, or will you make all the decisions?
Your input is invaluable to me! I work closely with you to understand your vision, preferences, and priorities. Throughout the planning process, I'll collaborate with you every step of the way to ensure your wedding reflects your unique style and personality.
What is your communication style and availability throughout the planning process?
I prefer email communications for the “big things”, but my cell phone is always on me if you want to send quick texts as well. We also communicate using my planning platform, Aisle Planner, to ensure all is streamlined.
My office hours vary based on your needs & location! You can text, call or email me anytime! I always reply within 24 hours, if not within minutes.
Can you coordinate with my vendors leading up to the wedding day?
Absolutely! I'll communicate with all of your vendors in the weeks leading up to your wedding to confirm details, finalize timelines, and address any questions or concerns they may have, ensuring everyone is on the same page for a seamless event.
Do your planning & coordination services include a ceremony rehearsal?
Yes! Ceremony rehearsals are something I am very passionate about! They are super important to make sure you and your loved ones are all on the same page. I stay the night nearby the night before your wedding so I can conduct this for you.
Will you be personally overseeing our wedding, or will there be another coordinator assigned?
Yes, myself and an assistant will be onsite on the day of your wedding to oversee all aspects of the event and ensure everything goes according to plan. You can count on us to handle any unexpected challenges so you can focus on celebrating with your loved ones.
What do you do on my wedding day as my wedding coordinator?
- Vendor Management: I'll serve as the main point of contact for all vendors on the day of your wedding, coordinating their arrivals, setup, and any last-minute adjustments. This includes florists, caterers, photographers, musicians, and more.
- Timeline Management: I'll create and oversee a detailed timeline for the day, ensuring that all events—from the ceremony to the reception—are executed seamlessly and according to schedule. This includes coordinating the timing of key moments such as the first dance, cake cutting, and speeches.
- Venue Coordination: I will work closely with your venue staff to ensure everything is set up according to your specifications, including seating arrangements, decor placement, and lighting.
- Problem Solving: Should any unexpected challenges arise on the day of your wedding, I'll handle them swiftly and discreetly, so you can focus on enjoying your celebration. Whether it's a vendor delay, a logistical issue, or a sudden change in weather, I'll find solutions to keep things running smoothly.
- Guest Assistance: I'll be available to assist your guests with any questions or concerns they may have throughout the day, whether it's providing directions, offering assistance to elderly or disabled guests, or addressing any special requests.
- Wedding Party Coordination: From ensuring the bridal party is ready on time to coordinating their entrances and exits during the ceremony and reception, I'll make sure everyone is where they need to be when they need to be there.
- Emergency Kit: I'll come prepared with an emergency kit stocked with essentials like safety pins, stain remover, sewing supplies, and other items that may come in handy in case of wardrobe malfunctions or other minor emergencies.
- Final Checks: Before the ceremony begins, I'll conduct final checks to ensure that everything is in place and ready to go. This includes confirming that all decor is set up correctly, double-checking that vendors have arrived and are set up as planned, and ensuring that any special requests or accommodations have been addressed.
What is Wedding Day Content Creation?
content creation
Wedding Day Content Creation is basically a fancy term for “extra wedding footage captured on an iphone with editorial finesse” - as a wedding content creator, I work alongside your photo & video team to get you all the wedding content, both BTS and up close and personal delivering the vey next morning.
What else do you bring with you?
I arrive with my iPhone 16 Pro, tons of storage, safety backup protocol, extra chargers, portable lighting, a tripod, and a positive attitude! I capture your entire day via hundreds of iPhone video clips & candid photos so you can have comfort in knowing someone who actually knows how to work a phone (and angles) is getting all the content for you! I even send it all to you by morning via Dropbox/Google Drive.
How much do you charge for travel?
The investment for travel varies depending on location! Starting at $500 along my local Yarmouth homebase, and increases to $1200+ depending on distance + applicable accommodations.
Do you have a list of vendors you love?
wedding vendors
Yes! I have been so fortunate to have worked with some of the most talented professionals in Nova Scotia. You can save hours of research, and I’ll give you valuable, honest insight, and connect you with them! You deserve the best after all.
Do you offer payment plans for your services?
payment
Yes, we understand that wedding planning expenses can add up quickly. A 10% initial payment will be due upon booking. Moving forward we offer flexible monthly and quarterly payment plans to help ease the financial burden of paying all at once in the end. I also accept credit card with a 3% service fee.
