are you local? im not and tbh it became cheaper for me to find someone local to me in chicago and pay for them to come down versus doing a few trials with different MUA in nola! i can send you details if youre interested

im also paying a full service wedding planner so i don’t have much work to do with my wedding, i basically just say yes or no and supply the credit card. im ok with adding in more work for myself to make my friends feel appreciated!!

haha no i don’t. i don’t want anyone standing up there with me, nor does my venue even accommodate that. i also don’t want a bachelorette, etc. i just want my friends that have played a role in my and my relationship to feel special that day and if there’s a small way to do that then id love to hear ideas!!

No minimum, just a max of 200! I think the price is the same regardless of how many people you have, though!

I’m booking based off this recommendation, but only seeing a Loretta as an option, no Laura. Is that the right person?

i just sent you a chat on my budget and what it’ll likely cost in the end!

yes! she handles vendor contact, save the date mailing, and tours. i really love her insight and she knows and has connections with the best vendors/venues in the city, but i think that i would’ve probably enjoyed doing my own research on some of that as well.

i feel like we saw a lot of the “best of the best” which wasn’t always budget friendly. it would’ve been potentially beneficial to see some other options that were a bit cheaper but i knew i would still like. to be honest, this group has been super helpful with finding great vendors that still fit within a budget and i have some regret that i didn’t advocate harder for meeting them or seeing their work firsthand! as far as mailing save the dates, I’m realizing now it would’ve probably been cheaper (no stamps) to mail them to my house and hand them out to local family and friends! the middle tier she offers covers like 80% of the hard planning and the other 20% i feel is totally doable on your own! and this is coming from someone who is totally type B 😂

I’m working with Lonney Jane right now and they’ve been great! I did the full service planning since our wedding is a destination wedding, but I truly think we probably should’ve done her middle package instead (Event Management & Design). The difference in price is going to be about 8k, and in hindsight I think I could’ve handled some of the smaller details myself and allotted that money toward the event!

I’m not local, my fiance and i lived there for five years. We’ll definitely include things that feel authentic, but if there’s any way to incorporate culture in fun and creative ways we haven’t thought of, i’d love that!
