How much does a wedding planner cost in Orlando, Florida?

Wedding planner pricing in Orlando and Central Florida depends on the level of service, guest count, and overall complexity of your event. Full-service planning is more comprehensive than wedding management (coordination), which focuses on pre-wedding logistics and day-of execution.
After your consultation, we provide a custom proposal tailored to your specific wedding.

What is the average cost of a wedding in Orlando?

In the Orlando and Central Florida area, most weddings range between $30,000 and $80,000+, depending on guest count, venue, catering style, and design elements. Luxury weddings or highly customized events may exceed this range. We help you build a realistic budget and allocate funds strategically based on what matters most to you.

Do I need a wedding planner for my Orlando wedding?

While not required, hiring a wedding planner in Orlando can significantly reduce stress and prevent costly mistakes. With venue restrictions, vendor coordination, timelines, and logistics, having a professional overseeing the process ensures your day runs smoothly.
Our role is to protect your investment and manage the details so you can enjoy the experience.

What is the difference between a Wedding Planner and a Day-of Coordinator?

A Wedding Planner is involved throughout the planning process, from vendor selection and budgeting to design and logistics.
A Day-of Coordinator (what we call Wedding Management) steps in weeks before the wedding to finalize timelines, confirm vendors, and execute the day itself.
If you're planning your wedding yourself but want professional oversight before and on the wedding day, Wedding Management is typically the best fit.

Do you travel outside Orlando?

We serve couples throughout Central Florida, including Winter Park, Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, and surrounding areas. Travel beyond this region may require a custom travel fee.

How far in advance should I book a wedding planner in Orlando?

Most couples book their wedding planner 12–18 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season in Central Florida (spring and fall). Wedding Management services are often booked 6–9 months before the wedding date.

What does a wedding planner actually do on the wedding day?

On your wedding day, we manage vendors, oversee the timeline, coordinate setup, handle unexpected issues, cue key moments (ceremony, entrances, speeches), and ensure everything flows smoothly.
You and your family should not be answering vendor questions or solving problems. That’s our job.

How do I prepare for my wedding planning consultation?

Before your consultation, it’s helpful to know: your wedding date (or estimated timeframe), your venue (if booked), estimated guest count, budget range, and general vision or inspiration. From there, we guide the conversation.

Do you work with specific Orlando wedding venues?

We work with a variety of venues throughout Orlando and Central Florida. Whether you’re planning a ballroom wedding, a garden ceremony, an industrial venue, or a private estate event, we adapt our planning process to your location.
