FAQs

The shit you wanna know.

  • You know all those things you meant to take with you on your wedding day & inevitably forgot? Yep. We've got you covered. Bobby pins, nail polish remover, breath mints, pepto, bug spray...you name it. We bring this kit with us to every rager we host, and it hasn't let us down yet.

  • Wedding day liability insurance protects you from any potential lawsuits that are a result of bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, etc. throughout the course of your event. Most venues require couples to purchase this prior to their event, & pricing can typically range between $150-$175. You are welcome to see if your insurance offers event insurance, otherwise we recommend WedSafe, WedSure or Vensura.

  • If you’ve booked us for coordination (Velvet or Satin), you have free reign to choose your own vendors so long as they align with our business on a moral/ethical standpoint, & are professionally licensed & insured. For full service clients (Cashmere) who have booked us for our expertise in design, we prefer to select design-heavy vendors such as florists, rentals, stationery, etc. for you. We do this based on the design we cultivate for your event (that you will have the opportunity to approve), & who best aligns with that vision creatively. For preference-based vendors like photographers, glam teams, etc., we typically give you about 3 to choose from that align with your vision & budget.

  • Life is unpredictable, and your wedding is no exception. Whether it's a rogue bouquet toss or a camera mishap, licensed & insured vendors have got it covered. Literally. Their insurance is your safety net, the guarantee that even if the unexpected happens, your wedding day isn't turning into a disaster movie. Your cousin’s sister who has a friend that “knows music well” can’t often provide the same type of experience as a professional DJ, so let’s leave them to being a guest instead!

  • Yes & no. We're 1000% in when it comes to editing that floral proposal to align more with your budget so long as it's realistic. This is a service that we do often, and we will always make sure you're getting the best price for your requests. However, we do not ask our vendors to discount their services or negotiate payment schedules outside of their contractual agreements for any reason.

  • "Ew, David." We would never. We recommend our vendors because we trust them to show up & show out on your wedding day. Point blank.

  • When it comes to budgeting for your big day, nothing holds more sway than the guest list. Your headcount isn't just a number; it's the cornerstone upon which your entire wedding budget is built. Each guest means extra seats & tables, more food/drinks to provide, and potentially a larger venue to accommodate everyone comfortably. So, before you start dreaming of elaborate floral arrangements or extravagant decor, remember: mastering your headcount is the key to keeping your wedding finances in check.

  • A common misconception is that by asking for your budget, vendors will quote higher so that you spend more money. In reality, most vendors ask this question so that they can work with you on your budget without subjecting quality. Often, many vendors have a minimum spending limit for certain services (example: full service floral vs. limited service floral). Asking this question up front saves you & your vendors time, while ensuring each proposal is tailored to you.

  • Save the dates can go out anytime 6-12 months prior to your wedding.

    PRO TIP: Check for holidays & plan accordingly. Save the dates/invites sent over a holiday week/weekend will likely experience delays.

  • Our suggestion is to have all RSVP's in no later than 4-weeks prior to your wedding date. If you require RSVP responses to be mailed back to you, take that into consideration and plan for an earlier deadline. Most caterers & bartenders ask for final headcounts about 30-days in advance, but you'll want to finalize your seating chart & send over final details to your stationer for placecards, etc.

  • No biggie! Let us know as soon as possible, & we'll find another time that works best for everyone involved.

  • Life happens, & we'll do our best to accommodate! We have a 15-minute grace period for all meetings/phone calls & do our best to accommodate our clients ever-changing schedules. If you're expecting a delay that exceeds the grace period, your coordinator/planner may find it in your best interest to ask you to reschedule.

  • Of course! We love +1's and would be honored to meet some of the people closest to you. For this reason, we allow 1-additional person per couple to attend our planning meetings, calls & walkthroughs. If you would like to have more than 1 person in attendance, please reach out to your planner/coordinator ahead of time for approval.

  • We love the genuine connections we make with our clients & look forward to every planning meeting we have. While we want to accommodate your schedule as much as possible, we spend loads of time prepping & creating detailed meeting outlines that require thorough & focused participation from our clients. We want you to get the most out of our time together, so just plan to find a comfy spot with killer wifi & you're set!

Next Steps…

After reviewing this Welcome deck, your planner will be sending you an intake questionnaire to complete and submit back to us. This document MUST be completed prior to scheduling your first consult, so please keep that in mind! If you don’t know the answer to something on the questionnaire, feel free to leave it blank. We’ll have a chance to go over it together during our first meeting!

1) New Client Questionnaire

Please allot 1 - 1.5 hours for this meeting! We use this time to discuss:

  • Overall vision + idea development

  • Budget + headcount

  • Vendor recommendations

  • Timeline + ceremony start time

  • Use of venue space + rain plan

  • Review planning process + discuss expectations

2) Schedule Your Consult
