  • If your planner is unable to be present on the day of your event due to sickness or an unforeseen emergency, a replacement coordinator will be provided to step in and facilitate the event at no additional cost.

  • 100% yes! All packages include time on-site with your coordination team. The amount of time on-site will vary depending on your event, but you can count on your coordinator to facilitate your ceremony rehearsal as well.

  • Invoices can be paid via Rock Paper Coin, credit card, cash, or check. A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking to secure a planner.

Although we require that all vendors we work with are licensed and insured, our team assists in locating, booking, and managing vendors. You will always have the final say in any and all elements of the event day!

  • Creation and execution of a design scheme is only included with our Full Service Planning Package.

  • We are always happy to offer vendor recommendations as needed, but you are never required to use specific vendors we suggest. That being said, the event pros we recommend are tried and true. We’ve had positive experiences with them and can vouch based on multiple experiences. If you decide to go off our list, the only requirements we have are that every vendor we work with is licensed and insured and that a full-service caterer is booked.

  • Yes! You very much need a professional planner whether or not your venue has its own coordinator. Click here to learn why.

  • Our team has found that the time it takes to coordinate a postponement is significantly more than you would think between coordinating every vendor's schedule with yours and keeping up with statewide mandates. We hope and pray that another shutdown isn't in the future, however in the event of postponement, a 20% postponement fee will apply and the newly scheduled event date must take place within six months of the original scheduled event date.
