What does full-service wedding planning and design include?

Full-service planning and design means having an experienced partner guiding every aspect of your wedding from beginning to end. From building your vendor team and managing your budget to developing your design vision, creating timelines, coordinating logistics and leading your wedding weekend, I oversee every moving piece so you don't have to.

Rather than handing you a checklist, my role is to simplify the planning process, provide thoughtful guidance, and ensure every decision supports your vision and priorities. Behind the scenes, I'm constantly communicating with vendors, solving problems before they arise and keeping everything organized, allowing you to truly enjoy your engagement.

When should we hire a wedding planner?

The sooner, the better. Many of my couples begin working with me 12 to 18 months before their wedding, though some reach out even earlier while searching for a venue. Bringing a planner on early allows us to build a strong vendor team, make informed budget decisions, secure the best professionals before they book up and create a cohesive design from the very beginning. The earlier we begin, the more value I can provide throughout the planning process.

How much does full-service planning cost?

Full-service wedding planning and design begins at $15,000. Every wedding is unique, so your proposal is customized based on the size, scope and overall vision of your celebration. During our consultation, we'll discuss your priorities and planning needs so I can recommend the best approach for your wedding.

Do you only work in New Hampshire?

While New Hampshire is home, I happily serve couples throughout New England. Whether you're planning a lakeside celebration in Wolfeboro, a mountain wedding in Vermont, a coastal weekend in Maine or an elegant estate celebration in Massachusetts or Rhode Island, I love creating thoughtful weddings throughout the region. Travel is always considered when preparing your custom proposal.

How involved will we be during the planning process?

As involved as you'd like to be. You'll always be part of the decisions that matter most while I handle the research, communication, organization and countless behind-the-scenes details. Think of it as having an experienced guide who presents curated options, provides honest recommendations and keeps everything moving forward, allowing you to enjoy the creative parts of planning without feeling overwhelmed by the logistics.

Do you help with wedding design?

Absolutely. Design is fully integrated into my planning process because I believe the most memorable weddings feel intentional from beginning to end. Together we'll develop a cohesive design direction that reflects your style while considering your venue, guest experience and overall atmosphere. From rental selections and tabletop details to floor plans, color palettes and styling, every element is thoughtfully curated to create a celebration that feels both beautiful and personal.

Do you attend the rehearsal and wedding weekend?

Yes. I'll be there to lead your ceremony rehearsal, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and confident before the wedding day. On your wedding day, my team and I oversee vendor arrivals, installation, timelines, logistics, guest flow, production and every behind-the-scenes detail that allows the day to unfold seamlessly. Our goal is simple: for you, your family and your wedding party to simply enjoy the celebration while we take care of everything else.

What makes Brittany S Events different?

My approach is rooted in hospitality. Before becoming a wedding planner, I spent more than fifteen years working across hospitality, catering, venue management, food and beverage, floral design, sales, project management and event production. Those experiences taught me that an unforgettable wedding isn't just about beautiful details - it's about creating an exceptional experience for every person in the room.

That perspective influences every recommendation I make, every timeline I create and every decision throughout the planning process. Beautiful weddings are important, but creating a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming and genuinely enjoyable for both you and your guests is what matters most to me.

How many weddings do you take each year?

I intentionally accept a limited number of weddings each year so I can provide every couple with a highly personalized planning experience. By limiting the number of celebrations I take on, I'm able to remain responsive, fully invested and present throughout the planning process, while giving each wedding the attention it deserves. Quality has always been more important to me than quantity.

How do we get started?

It all begins with an inquiry! Once you submit your inquiry form, I'll review the details of your wedding and reach out to schedule a discovery call. During our conversation, we'll get to know one another, discuss your vision and determine whether we're the right fit. Following our call, you'll receive a customized proposal outlining your investment and next steps. Once your contract is signed and your retainer is received, your date is officially reserved, and we'll begin creating an unforgettable wedding together.

Do you have preferred vendors?

Yes - but I believe the right vendor team is the one that's right for your wedding. Over the years I've built relationships with incredibly talented photographers, florists, caterers, entertainers, rental companies and creative partners throughout New England. I'll recommend professionals whose style, personality, experience and investment align with your vision, rather than handing every couple the same list. My goal is to curate a vendor team that works seamlessly together and is genuinely excited to bring your celebration to life.
