Wedding Day Management FAQ.

  • Congratulations! Start with your venue and date, then build your vendor team. If you want help making those decisions, a wedding planner may be the better fit. If you're planning the wedding yourselves, I step in for active management 90 days before the big day.

  • A planner helps design and build your wedding, from vendor sourcing to the overall experience. A venue coordinator focuses on the venue.

    I'm the bridge between planning and execution. I take the plans you've made, connect the logistics, coordinate your vendors, and manage the entire wedding day, not just what's happening at the venue.

  • Wedding Day Management is for couples who've planned their wedding and want a fuller production handoff starting 90 days out. I build your master timeline, coordinate vendors, lead your ceremony rehearsal, and manage the wedding day with a tailored team.

    Party & Event Management is for celebrations where the plan and run of show are already in place. Beginning approximately 30 days out, I refine the logistics, coordinate final details, and manage the event for up to 8 hours.

    Not sure which fits? Tell me about your celebration, and I'll recommend the right level of support.

  • Once you book, we'll set up your shared workspace and schedule a venue walkthrough. You'll continue planning while I get familiar with the details.

    At 90 days out, active Wedding Day Management begins. I'll build your production timeline, coordinate final logistics with your vendors, and review everything with you before the wedding.

  • Yes! I oversee vendor setup and light placement of personal details, such as signage, guest books, and place cards.

    Significant décor installation, furniture setup, or breakdown may require additional staffing or professional installation support. We'll identify those needs in your proposal.

  • Wedding Day Management includes up to 10 hours of on-site management, plus up to one hour of ceremony rehearsal direction.

    I’ll be your Lead Event Manager, supported by a setup assistant and a team tailored to your venues, guest count, setup needs, and event flow.

  • Wedding Day Management starts at $3,500, including a setup assistant and travel within San Francisco and the Bay Area.

    Proposals typically range from $3,500 to $3,950, with final pricing based on venue, guest count, setup needs, duration, and overall complexity. Weddings with larger guest counts, multiple venues, or heavy setup are quoted with additional team members. Your proposal will include one clear investment.

  • Party & Event Management starts at $1,800, including travel within San Francisco and the Bay Area.

    Final pricing depends on your venue, guest count, setup needs, duration, and event complexity.

  • Most couples book 6 to 12 months out, and earlier is always welcome. I take on a limited number of weddings each season, so popular dates can fill.

  • We'll start with a consultation to talk through your plans. If we're a fit, I'll send a customized proposal.

    Your date is officially reserved once your agreement is signed and your 30% retainer is received.

  • Reach out! I take shorter timelines when my calendar allows and your plans are ready for a more compressed handoff.

  • Your agreement includes a backup coordinator provision, so there's a plan in place if an unexpected situation prevents me from being there.

  • I've spent more than a decade producing events, including work with the San Francisco Symphony, the Exploratorium, and Dress for Success.

    That experience taught me how to manage complex logistics, anticipate problems, and keep vendors working from one plan.
