We recommend reaching out as early as possible to start planning your event. The timeline for event planning varies based on the occasion and its scope. The sooner we begin, the more efficiently we can coordinate all the details to ensure a successful outcome. While we encourage early engagement, we understand that some situations may require a quick turnaround. Kate is adept at operating on tight deadlines when needed. For Wedding Coordination services, we're actively booking for the remainder of the summer and fall 2024 season, emphasizing the importance of early collaboration to make your event a resounding success. Please get in touch to discuss your specific timeline and event needs!  

The ideal time to contact us for wedding planning is as soon as possible. For Partial Planning and Coordination services, we recommend reaching out once you have your date set to secure it on our calendar. While we can accept coordination clients up to 3 months prior to your wedding, early engagement ensures better availability and comprehensive planning. For Full Planning clients, it's advisable to reach out as soon as you are ready to begin your planning process. Given that certain venues and weekends book up well in advance, an early start allows us to secure the best options and tailor the planning to your preferences.
