What's the average cost of the weddings you plan?
We work with couples of various budgets and are always happy to gauge whether or not we are within your price range prior to an initial consultation. Our wedding planning services start at $3500 and go up from there. Most couples spend around $15,000 for full Service wedding planning and around $3500 for coordination and support services. Budgets of $50k+ are typical among the majority of JCE couples.
How many weddings have you planned?
With 40+ weddings under our belts, we are highly experienced in our industry and are prepared for any situation that might come up during the design and planning process!
Will you handle our contracts and vendor payments?
Depending on your needs, our full service planning package does offer contract and payment management for all vendors.
Do you have a list of preferred vendors to use?
We sure do! From wedding photographers to full-service caterers, we’ve worked with some of the best companies in the industry & would love to share their information with you upon a signed contract!
Do we get a discount for using your preferred vendors?
Each vendor we work with has their own policy regarding discounts, but we can ensure that you will be receiving the very best pricing available. We are proud to work exclusively with highly seasoned wedding professionals.
Do you ever offer discounts for your packages?
Year round we offer a PRIDE Discount of 10%. All other discounts are seasonal and you can catch them on Valentine’s Day, and Black Friday.
Do you travel for destination weddings?
Absolutely! We love to travel and have plenty of experience planning weddings outside our zip code.
How do you deal with wedding day “issues?”
With over 6 years of industry experience, we always make sure there is a back-up plan for every situation. By staying organized and maintaining clear communication throughout the planning process, we do our best to eliminate issues before they arise.
How many meetings will we have?
Do you come with us to all of our relevant meetings?
Depending on your needs, we will work with you to maintain communication via in-person and Zoom meetings to ensure that we are always on the same page. We do our best to make it to as many vendor meetings as possible and will be there to guide you through each and every detail. If you’d rather chat by phone or prefer Zoom to sit-down meetings, we are happy to accommodate your needs!
How many people on your staff will be at the wedding?
This greatly depends on the logistics & budget of your event, but you will always have at least one on-site coordinator and assistant the day of your wedding.
What if we don’t have a wedding date?
If you haven't settled on a wedding date yet, that's absolutely okay! Many couples start their planning journey without a fixed date in mind. This gives you a bit of flexibility in exploring venue options and vendor availability. For Full and Partial Service couples, we will work with you in determining the best time of year for your wedding, considering factors like weather, seasonal styles, and cost variations.
