Planning & Coordination

Full-Service Planning & Coordination Services

Some clients want a sounding board and a steady hand as plans come together. Others want full support from the first decision to the final send-off. We offer event planning and coordination services for weddings, corporate events, social celebrations, mitzvahs, quinceañeras, and more, with flexible options based on how much support you want and where you are in the process.

What sets our planning team apart is that we can also manage design, décor, rentals, draping, lighting, and on-site execution. That means fewer gaps, fewer handoffs, and a clearer plan when it matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in wedding coordination with décor services?

If you are pairing coordination with our décor services, we help align timelines, vendor logistics, and installation needs so the design plan is executed correctly. The exact scope depends on the coordination level you choose.

How early should we book month-of or day-of coordination?

Earlier is always better, especially during peak season. Many couples booking day-of wedding coordination in Fort Myers and surrounding areas reserve dates well in advance.

Do you work directly with our venue?

Yes. We coordinate with venues regarding load-in, setup requirements, ceremony timing, breakdown rules, and other logistics tied to your event.

Can we make changes close to the event date?

Often, yes, within reason. Changes depend on timing, vendor availability, and how the update affects timelines and setup needs. We will outline key decision deadlines as part of the planning process.

Can we hire you for planning even if we are not using your décor rentals?

Yes. Planning is available on its own. If you also want design, décor, rentals, draping, or lighting, we can combine services so everything is managed together.

I used this company for my wedding & rehearsal dinner tabletop decor and I could not have been happier!

"I used this company for my wedding & rehearsal dinner tabletop decor and I could not have been happier! The owner, Melissa, is so friendly, knowledgable and patient. She spent hours with me going through options in her showroom and over the phone. I had a destination wedding so our initial consult was by FaceTime and she created a few setups for me to see & decide. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She went above and beyond, I highly recommend - you will not be disappointed!!"
