Where should we start with wedding planning in Austin, Texas?

The first step in planning your wedding is to think through the key details that will shape your day: your ideal guest count, overall budget, preferred wedding date, and the style or vibe you want for your celebration. Once you have a clear idea of these elements, give us a call — as professional Austin wedding planners, we’ll guide you through the planning process and make sure every detail aligns with your vision.

One important tip many couples don’t realize: some venues require you to use their in-house planner or coordinator. However, if you arrive with your own Austin wedding planner or coordinator already booked, many venues will allow you to use an outside professional. Working with a planner early ensures you have flexibility and support as you secure your venue, vendors, and all the other details that make your Austin wedding uniquely yours.

What does a wedding planner in Austin actually do?

An Austin wedding planner manages every detail of your wedding, including timelines, vendor communication, logistics, and on-site coordination. Whether you choose full planning or month-of coordination, our team ensures your wedding day runs smoothly so you can relax and fully enjoy your celebration.

Do I need a wedding planner if my venue has a coordinator?

Yes. While many Austin venues provide an on-site venue coordinator, their role is focused on the venue itself — not your entire wedding. A professional Austin wedding coordinator works solely for you, handling vendors, timelines, décor setup, ceremony flow, and problem-solving throughout the day.

When should I hire an Austin wedding planner?

We recommend booking your Austin wedding planner as early as possible, especially for popular spring and fall wedding dates. Many couples hire us 9-12+ months in advance for full planning, while month-of coordination clients typically book 6-12 months before their wedding date.

Do you offer month-of wedding coordination in Austin?

Yes! Month-of coordination (also known as day-of coordination) is one of our most popular services. Our Austin wedding coordination package includes timeline creation, vendor confirmations, ceremony rehearsal management, and full wedding day execution.

Do Austin venues have vendor restrictions?

Some venues may have preferred vendors or rules regarding décor, rentals, alcohol, and noise. We can help you navigate these policies and ensure your day runs smoothly, no matter the venue. We highly recommend hiring an Austin wedding planner before booking your venue and vendors so we can review your contracts and make sure you fully understand any restrictions.
