We’ve been in the wedding industry for a long time. When I started this business in 2010, Instagram and Google Drive did not exist (mind-blowing right!?!?). We’ve come a long way since then and I’ve learned A LOT about what makes a wedding beautiful, go smoothly and exceed the expectations of our clients.

Our style is: calm and honest. This is true for the planning process (we will tell you if an idea you have won’t work out) and on the wedding day (when your wedding planner is calm, it’s a lot easier for you to enjoy the day).

We very highly value our wedding vendor relationships and I focus the majority of my marketing time and budget on building and maintaining those relationships so that on your wedding day everyone is working together as a team. There is no “do-over” or “when we do this next year” for your wedding, this is why an experienced wedding planner with strong vendor relationships is the key to a smooth and beautiful wedding day.

We are based in Napa and plan weddings in Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley. We no longer plan weddings in Jackson Hole and we recommend Wild Rose Events for your Jackson Hole event.

Every wedding budget and style is different. What one couple couldn’t imagine a wedding without, another couple may not want on their wedding day. Whatever the amount that you spend on your wedding, we respect that.

I always say, “wine country is the Whole Foods of weddings.” On average, our clients, with about 120 guests, spend $90,000 - $250,00+ on their wedding day vendors (venue, florist, planner, caterer, photographer, band/ DJ, videographer, hair and makeup, etc.) this does not include the dress, rings, honeymoon, invitations, welcome event, farewell brunch, etc.

The venue event coordinator and wedding planner are both crucial to your wedding day going smoothly and play different roles. The venue event coordinator’s job is to focus on the aspects of the venue that affect your wedding such as maintaining the grounds, food and beverage service, and responsibilities directly related to the venue. Your wedding planner’s job is to coordinate your vendors, run your ceremony rehearsal, design your wedding, and is your go-to for all wedding-specific questions.

We refer to this as our Essential Planning package. Our Essential Planning package is much more than just help on the wedding day. We start working with you when you book (not a few months before your wedding).

We gladly offer the Essential Planning package, but only take on a few each year at specific venues. CLICK HERE to visit the Essential Planning page to learn more.

Of course! About half our clients are from the Bay Area. Every year we seem to have at least one couple from Chicago. We have worked with couples from all over the country and around the globe. Thanks to email and video calls, wedding planning from afar in different time zones is pretty easy.

Yes, of course! We adore all our couples. We value kindness and professionalism. You can read about Abby and Jessica’s Beltane Ranch wedding HERE on our blog.

All our packages are custom-created for your wedding, after a short call to learn about your style, vision, and ideas for your wedding. Our prices are based on many factors (location, number of guests, design, the complexity of the event, etc.). To schedule your call, please fill out our contact form.

Our packages range from $10,500- $25,000+ and our most popular package averages $16,500. Contact us for a custom quote.

Your wedding planner is the vendor you will work the closest with and the most during your wedding planning. They are also the representative of your vision to the other vendors on your wedding day. Experience and vendor relationships really count when it comes to your wedding planner.

We recommend you pick someone that you are excited about, feel like you click with after you talk to them, and they get you. When we work with couples, we want it to feel like a friend is planning their wedding with them. We take on a limited number of weddings each year, to ensure that each couple gets plenty of attention and quick replies to emails.

Finally, we are all about fun. We want you to have fun planning and fun on your wedding day. We don’t want you to worry about a single thing on your wedding day and trust that we have everything taken care of.

If having fun and being with friends and family on your wedding day are the most important things for your wedding, let’s talk. If you love dogs, even better.
