Our Planning Process: Working With a Wedding Planner in LA

Planning a wedding in a city as vibrant, diverse, and fast-paced as Los Angeles is both exciting, and at times, overwhelming. Between finding the perfect venue, navigating the wide range of vendor options, and making sure your day actually feels like you. It can be a lot to manage on your own.

That’s where we come in.

As a Los Angeles wedding planner, my goal is to guide you through this process with intention, creativity, and calm. I want you to enjoy your engagement and feel confident that every detail is handled. Here’s a peek into what it’s like to work together.

Step 1: The Discovery Call

Everything begins with a no-pressure consultation. Just a chance to connect and see if we’re a good fit. I want to get to know you as a couple, understand what matters most to you, and hear about your vision (even if it’s still evolving).

From there, I’ll walk you through the services that best align with where you are in your planning journey. Whether that’s full-service support or month-of coordination.

Step 2: Priorities + Budget

Once we’re officially working together, we’ll start by taking time to clarify your top priorities and align them with your budget. Whether it’s an unforgettable guest experience, custom menu, or an incredible photographer. Defining what matters most early on helps guide every decision that follows.

We’ll use these priorities as our north star- referring back to them throughout the planning process to make sure we’re investing your time and budget in the things that truly matter to you.

Step 3: Design + Vision Building

Next up, we’ll dive into your wedding’s aesthetic and vibe. Whether you’re dreaming of something modern and editorial, effortlessly romantic, or completely outside-the-box, I’ll help you bring that vision to life with a personalized design plan.

This phase includes mood boards, color palettes, creative inspiration, and layout ideas all curated to reflect who you are, not just what’s trending on Pinterest.

Step 4: Curating Your Vendor Dream Team

Los Angeles is home to an incredible pool of wedding talent. As a wedding planner in LA, I’ve spent years building relationships with vendors who are not only creative powerhouses but also kind, professional, and aligned with a range of styles and budgets.

I’ll match you with photographers, florists, caterers, and more who bring your vision to life while making the process feel easy and enjoyable.

Step 5: Planning the Details

From managing timelines and reviewing contracts to keeping everything organized and moving forward, I handle the logistics so you don’t have to.

Full planning clients will receive monthly check in’s to keep you on track so you always know what’s coming next. And whenever questions come up (because they will), I’m just a call or email away.

Step 6: Wedding Week + Day-of Coordination

As your wedding weekend approaches, I take over full coordination: confirming timelines, checking in with vendors, leading walkthroughs, and handling any last-minute logistics.

On the wedding day itself, I’ll be the calm presence behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly. You get to soak in every moment while I make sure your vision is executed beautifully and seamlessly.

What Sets Us Apart

No two couples are the same- so no two weddings should be, either. I take a tailored approach to each event, combining creative direction, thoughtful details, and warm, personal connection.

The result? A celebration that’s elevated but approachable, meaningful, and unmistakably you.
