A wedding planner does literally everything on the couple's behalf from the very beginning stages of wedding planning after saying yes to a proposal. The couple specifies their vision and the planner gets to work to make it happen, and execute on the big day. On the other hand, a wedding coordinator ONLY executes -- the couple plans everything themselves and hands off those plans to a professional to execute the day smoothly for them, so they can be in the moment.

Such an important question to ask! When a venue includes a coordinator they are simply guaranteeing that a Venue Coordinator will be present during your wedding to attend all venue needs. They will NOT be attending to you, your fiancé, your guests or your specific design details. That's where we come in. As your Wedding Coordinator, we look out for you, your guests, the venue and all your other vendors to make sure everything happens smoothly. (The OCD is real, y'all!)

Currently, we book new clients up to 18 months out from their event date. Fill out our Inquiry Form to see our current booking cut-off date. The cut-off date is updated monthly.

Heck yes!...and we live for your customization. Unlike the industry norm of offering predetermined, tiered packages, we opt for the Chipotle bar approach. Start with our base package and add all the toppings of yumminess made to order.

Short answer: YES! Long answer: Disney Fairytale Weddings has their own team of planners and venue coordinators to work with you on your event, but you may be missing that personal touch. That's where we come in to be your liaison between the Disney team, any other vendors and you. As former Cast Members and current Fairy Godparents, we will assist with your personal items, your guests, and even adding some of our own special brand of pixie dust wherever you need it. If you're still unsure, check out question #2 on this list.

Nope! While Disney weddings are definitely our personal favorite (whether a Disney-inspired design, held at a Disney venue, or both!), we can do anything. Any theme, any venue...whatever your vision is, we'll make it happen. Our own brand of Fairy Godmother pixie dust is included no matter what, obvs.

While we LOVE an untraditional wedding in a unique venue, unfortunately we are no longer booking events to be hosted at a private residence due to the unpredictable nature of outdoor events in Florida, logistical challenges, and increased liability. Don't count us out though -- we'd be happy to help you find a unique space that you and your guests will be talking about for years to come.

Yep! Our contracts are built with payments in thirds. All payments are 33% of the total balance, the first of which is due upon contract signing. The second payment is due halfway through the project and the final payment is due (30) days prior to your event date. However, we totally understand everyone has different needs, budgets and schedules so we are happy to work out a payment structure with you that works for both of us. We planned our own wedding...we totally get it and are here to help you feel comfortable.

Yes! Don't ask for details about it though because adulting is hard.

Obvs...and it's a happy combination of my OCD and Fairy Godmother realness if you ask me. Your Wedding Playbook will include a list of all items in my kit, but basically, I've got you covered.

Short answer: yes! There is a whole clause about our policy for shipping/holding your personal items in our Contract, so make sure to read that thoroughly in your Proposal. When in doubt about something, just ask 😊
