Question 1

How is wedding planning different from wedding coordination?

Accepted Answer

Wedding planning is all about guiding you through the entire process—from finding vendors and managing budgets to creating timelines and design ideas. Wedding coordination, on the other hand, focuses on the final details and making sure everything runs smoothly on your big day.

Question 2

When is the best time to hire a wedding planner or coordinator?

Accepted Answer

The earlier, the better! Many couples book a planner early in the process to get expert guidance from the start. Coordinators, on the other hand, are often booked months in advance, even though their services kick in closer to the wedding day.

Question 3

What does a wedding coordinator do?

Accepted Answer

A coordinator steps in during the final weeks before your wedding to confirm vendor details, finalize your timeline, manage your rehearsal, and oversee the entire wedding day so you can relax and enjoy the celebration.

Question 4

Will you work with our vendors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We’re happy to work with any vendors you’ve already chosen and can also recommend trusted professionals if you’re still building your vendor team.

Question 5

Why do we need a coordinator if our venue has one?

Accepted Answer

Venue coordinators manage the venue and its staff. A wedding coordinator works for you, overseeing the entire timeline, vendors, décor details, and logistics of the day.

Question 6

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

Simply reach out through our inquiry form and we’ll schedule a call to learn more about your wedding and help determine which level of support is right for you.

Question 7

What are your different packages and the pricing for each?

Accepted Answer

Every event is unique, and pricing can vary depending on guest count, service time, setup, location, and the level of service you choose. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all pricing, we provide customized quotes so you only pay for what you actually need for your event.

We have day of coordination, full service coordination as well as design services.

Question 8

Do you offer wedding design services?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In addition to planning and coordination, we offer wedding design services to help bring your overall vision to life. We work with you to develop your color palette, theme, and aesthetic while guiding décor choices so every visual detail feels cohesive and intentional.

Question 9

Can you help if I already have some décor or a vision in mind?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many couples come to us with Pinterest inspiration, décor pieces, or a general theme. We help refine those ideas, organize them into a cohesive design plan, and ensure everything works together beautifully.

Question 10

Do you offer décor setup services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you already have your décor but don’t want the stress of setting it up on your wedding day, we can handle the entire setup process for you. Our team will follow your instructions and ensure every detail is placed exactly how you envision.

Question 11

What if I don’t know my wedding style yet?

Accepted Answer

That’s completely normal! Many couples start planning without a clear vision. Our design process helps you explore inspiration, identify your style, and create a cohesive look that reflects your personality and story.

Question 12

Do you travel for weddings outside Southwest Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we’re based in Southwest Florida, but you can book us for weddings in other parts of Florida and across the United States. If your event is outside our local area, a travel fee applies to help cover transportation and accommodations. We’d love to talk through your location and logistics with you!

Question 13

How far in advance should we book Horseshoe Tavern for our event?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking as soon as you have your date, especially for weddings and peak-season celebrations. The earlier you reach out, the better chance you have of securing your preferred services, and we’ll always do our best to fit your timeline.
