Partial Planning
We understand that not every couple wants a full-time planner to take on the majority of the wedding planning. However, every couple needs a local professional to ask questions, bounce ideas off of, make vendor recommendations, and be on-site on the wedding day to ensure their wedding day is beautiful, low-stress, and fun.
When you book our partial planning package, we help you source trusted local vendors who can deliver on your vision. With six planning calls, we give you the foundation to implement most of the planning yourself. Then, leading up to your wedding we work with your vendors to confirm details, so that you can focus on practicing your first dance, finalizing the seating chart, and all the other things that need your personal input.
In the final three months before your wedding, you would rather focus on the personal wedding details, picking your first dance song, finalizing your ceremony with your officiant, making your seating chart, writing thank you notes, and pre-wedding pampering and would gladly hand off managing all the emails from your wedding vendors.
Partial planning also means that we're there on your wedding day to direct vendors, wrangle guests, and take care of the little things so that you can be focused on yourself, your spouse-to-be, and your loved ones.
The best wedding planner for people who "don't need a wedding planner" (spoiler alert, you do)
“Lindsey's knowledge and relationships with other wine country vendors are invaluable, she made recommendations that fit our needs and priorities and honestly the result was a perfect day where we could just focus on each other, our family, and our guests, truly the best day ever.” - Maida, Gundlach Bundschu wedding
Partial planning service for you if:
You are looking for more help than a “day of” wedding planner or a “month of” wedding planner, but don’t need all the services of a full-service wedding planner
You have time to plan a wedding on the weekends, after work, and take planning calls during weekday business hours. If you feel like you have zero time to plan during the week, check out full-service planning
You’re ready to jump in, take action, and get things done
You don't know what you don't know, and you want someone with experience in your corner to make sure you don't miss anything
You love to plan and are very organized. You plan detailed vacations involving spreadsheets with every activity down to the restaurant to eat at each night (chances are high your day job involves planning or project management, too)
Although you want to be hands-on with the planning process, you want to be able to relax and savor your wedding day
You don’t want to be stressed out or overwhelmed in the month before your wedding. Spoiler alert: this is when all your wedding vendors want to wrap up details, and all your guests start to ask you questions like, “What time is the ceremony” even though you put all the important details on your wedding website
In the month leading up to your wedding, you would rather focus on the personal wedding details, picking your first dance song, finalizing your ceremony with your officiant, making your seating chart, writing thank you notes, and pre-wedding pampering and would gladly hand off managing all the emails from your wedding vendors
You want local vendor referrals that are vetted, reliable, professional, and will do a fantastic job

Lindsey made sure that nothing was missed and brought things to our attention that we would not have thought of otherwise.
“Her communication style is perfect and kept us on track the entire day - so well that we had even some downtime before the ceremony! We are so grateful to Lindsey for always keeping a level head, maintaining the highest level of professionalism, and being an overall wonderful and friendly person to work with over the many months leading up to the event.” - Sarah, Beltane Ranch wedding
