just before the wedding planning & MANAGEMENT
Often referred to as month-of wedding coordination, our approach begins earlier. We begin about 90 days before the wedding, assisting couples who have planned the majority of their celebration and are ready to hand things off to a team they can trust. We step in to finalize and fine tune the plan, manage vendor communication, finalize and oversee the wedding timeline, coordinate the rehearsal, and execute every detail on the day.
- Review of existing wedding plans, contracts, and key logistics
- Final planning guidance and identification of outstanding details
- Vendor communication, confirmations, and coordination
- Venue and vendor logistics review
- Wedding timeline development, finalization, and distribution
- Final walkthrough and event detail confirmation
- Floor plan and event flow review
- Rehearsal coordination
- Wedding day vendor oversight
- On-site wedding day management and execution
- Lead planner and assistant support throughout the wedding day
For couples who have the vision and plans mapped out
But want to transition the final details to an experienced team so they can be fully present for the day.
here's how it works...
We start by getting to know you — your vision, your priorities, and the feeling you want your wedding to have. Through thoughtful conversations and collaboration, we lay the foundation for everything that follows.
Discovery & Collaboration
With your vision as our guide, we build a plan that covers every detail — from the venue and vendors to the décor, the timeline, and the moments in between. Every choice is intentional, every element a reflection of you.
Customized Planning & Design
On your wedding day, we take the reins. Our team manages logistics, coordinates vendors, and handles every detail so you can be exactly where you're meant to be — fully present, completely relaxed, and celebrating.
Flawless Execution & Support
I had the privilege to attend an event she curated and knew that I had to have her create the experience for my next event. Her enthusiasm is palpable. And this enthusiasm persisted throughout the entire process, from planning to execution. I have never worked with someone with just an abundance of creativity, passion, and talent. I am already thinking of an excuse to host another event just to work with her again.

We love Angela and her team’s ability to take an adjective on how we want an event to feel and run with it. That is all she needs to work her magic. Hosting an intimate client dinner with her handling all of the details is a stress relief and allows me to focus on clients. I know that I can enjoy the event rather than worrying about every little detail. She is truly a delight.

"Angela makes it abundantly clear that everything she touches has an exuberant flair and exudes an air of finesse. "
Even though the event was relatively small, Angela and her team dedicated so much attention, time and talent that the attendees are still talking about how much fun they had. She surprised us with additional details that made the event amazing. From the design and planning, to the food and décor, Angela communicated at every step of the way to make sure the vision was executed perfectly. There is no event too large or too small for this talented team.
