A La Carte Planning Due Upon Booking


Absolutely: We go where love calls us!

For any weddings or events outside our immediate radius (Canton | North Canton | Louisville | East Canton | Canton South | Massillon | Green), there is a small mileage charge of $1/mi. Inquire with us to get your quote! 

Additionally, if your event is even further than 60+ miles, we may need lodging accommodations depending on the number of festivities or tasks we're helping take care of for you. :)


So far, love has allowed us to explore:

Canton, OH | North Canton, OH | East Canton, OH | Navarre, OH | Akron, OH | New Philadelphia, OH | Cleveland, OH | Willoughby Hills, OH | Rocky River, OH | Wooster, OH | North Lawrence, OH | Chagrin Falls, OH | Columbus, OH | Westerville, OH | Wickcliffe, OH | Windsor, OH | Youngstown, OH | Green, OH | Elyria, OH | Aurora, OH | Glenmont, OH | The Plains, OH | NW OH | SE MI | Las Vegas, NV


We are insured! Booking with us means peace of mind. We'll shoot you over our certificate upon booking if you need it. :)


Absolutely! We're a little biased; We love supporting small businesses.

Whenever we can, we select small business vendors we love working with that share the same love and tenacity for their craft as we do. This means your event will not only be worked on with incredible determination, but you'll also be supporting local businesses, keeping your dollars close to home! 


If you're in the NE OH area, we can definitely send some recommendations of businesses we've worked with, but if you're looking for particular styles or budgets outside of that, it will require some more research (planning hours added to your bill if you aren't a full planning client).



Wedding Coordination

Great question! A venue coordinator is there to make sure the venue runs smoothly—think of them as the person making sure the building doesn’t accidentally catch on fire. 🔥 They’ll manage the logistics within the space, work with their staff, and make sure the venue is in tip-top shape. But when it comes to everything outside of that (like handling vendors, sticking to the timeline, or solving those little last-minute hiccups), that's where we come in as your day-of coordinator!

Even if you've got a venue coordinator, we’re your go-to for all the behind-the-scenes magic—ensuring your wedding day goes off without a hitch (and definitely without any fire hazards). Trust us, you’ll want us there to handle the details so you can focus on actually enjoying the day!


Yes, we can! But there are a few boundaries to keep in mind. For in-person rehearsals, we’re available starting at 5 PM or later on weekdays (like Thursday or Friday). If your rehearsal needs to happen earlier than that, we can offer a virtual option instead. Let’s make sure everything runs smoothly, no matter what time it is! 


 Absolutely! Creating timelines is one of our fave things to do! We use this awesome platform called Planpage to keep everything organized, and we can even filter the view by specific vendors or groups (like DJ view, #TeamBride view, you name it!). 


Light clean-up includes tidying up reception tables, gathering decor for easy packing, and making sure everything’s neat. Full teardown goes beyond that—it includes packing up all your decor, moving items to your designated person’s vehicle, and making sure the space is good to go when you leave. As for gifts, we’ll never handle them directly due to liability reasons, but we can help your designated person get them safely to their car.

Event Staffing

Yes, you absolutely can! This option is ideal for couples who already have someone acting as their day-of coordinator but still need extra hands to keep things running smoothly. It’s a great way to get the support you need—without splurging on a full coordination team. We can assist with tasks like setup, food and drink replenishment, clean-up, and teardown, giving you a stress-free day without the extra cost. 


You bet! Our minimum is 4 hours, and the max is 10 hours per person (because let’s be real, we’d rather not turn into sleep-deprived zombies on your big day! 😴). 


 For decorating: Yep! We’ve got some essentials like scissors and zip ties in our emergency kit, ready to go when we need them.

For clean-up: Nope! Be sure to have everything we’ll need on hand (think trash cans, bags, sprays, etc.) so we can wrap things up smoothly!


 Absolutely, and we’ve done it before! Many couples have asked us to help with replenishing food during buffet service—especially when they choose their fave restaurant for catering but the restaurant doesn’t provide service staff. We’re happy to step in and make sure the food keeps flowing!
