Questions
The ones you're actually asking.
Why is valley pricing lower than Columbus?
The Mid-Ohio Valley is home for us — Marietta, Parkersburg and the river towns — and these are our rates for weddings held there. It's set by where your wedding is, not where you live: venues near the valley get valley pricing, and everything in the Columbus area is priced from the list above. Amish country and other far-out weddings have their own rates, since those bookings take extra trips up before the day — plus one night's lodging for the team. The packages themselves never change — same team, same run sheet, same standard everywhere.
You cover a big area. Are we getting the B team?
There is no B team. It's one team covering all of it — the valley, Columbus, and Amish country — which is exactly why we cap at twelve weddings a year and can only be in one place on any given day. We won't pretend otherwise. You meet your planner before you sign.
Do you take commissions from vendors?
No. We're paid by you and only by you. The photographers, DJs and florists we might point you to are separate businesses — you book and pay them directly, at their rates, and nothing passes through us. If we recommend someone, it's because they show up on time, not because there's a referral fee.
My venue already has a coordinator. Do I need you?
Sometimes not, and we'll tell you. A venue coordinator works for the venue — the building, the staff, and the timeline inside their four walls. They don't manage your florist, chase your string quartet, or handle your family. If your venue covers what you need, book Day-of Coordination, or nothing at all.
What if it rains?
There's a weather call written into every outdoor timeline, at a set hour, made by us with you. One decision, communicated to every vendor at once — instead of forty people guessing in a group text.
How far do you travel?
No travel charge within an hour of the team. Beyond that — Amish country, Holmes County, anywhere farther out — the only add is one night's lodging so your team is on site rested and early, the same way the vendors we work with handle it. You can book the room yourself or we'll add it to your invoice at cost. Your package rate itself is set by the zones on the pricing page.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. A thirty percent retainer holds the date, and the balance is split evenly across the months between signing and your wedding. No interest, no financing partner.
What if we have to postpone?
Your retainer moves with you, once, to any available date within eighteen months at no additional cost. It's in the contract rather than left to goodwill.
