Full Wedding Planning & Design
From the very first idea to the final farewell — every detail, handled.
Full Wedding Planning & Design is for the couple who wants a creative partner, not just a vendor — someone who holds every detail with the same care they would. Who dreams of arriving on their wedding day knowing every decision, every detail, and every step of the process was handled together, exactly as they imagined. Together, we’ll navigate decisions, refine ideas, and transform your vision into a celebration that feels effortless and completely you.
Based in Orange County and serving couples along the Southern California Coast, Catalina Island, and beyond, we accept a limited number of full planning clients each year, allowing us to give each luxury celebration our complete attention, creativity, and dedication.

Get in TouchIs this right for you?
Full planning is the right choice if…
- 01 You’re starting before a venue is booked, or have just secured your venue and don’t know what comes next.
- 02 You want a true creative partner. Someone who brings ideas, refines your vision, and leads the process from start to finish.
- 03 You value design as much as logistics — the way the room feels, the details guests notice, the atmosphere you step into.
- 04 You want to enjoy your engagement without managing timelines, chasing vendors, or making decisions alone.
- 05 You’re planning a wedding in Southern California, Catalina Island, or a destination, and you want every space to feel like an extension of who you are, not just a venue you hired.
- 06 You want to be a guest at your own wedding. Fully present, unhurried, and completely in the moment.

The Experience
The Vision
12-18 months before
We start with a conversation. What is important to you? What do you want the room to feel like when your guests walk in? We spend this time getting to know you, pulling inspiration, and building the creative foundation before a single vendor is ever contacted.
Vendor Curation
9-12 months before
We build your vendor team with care. Every recommendation is based on your aesthetic and how they’ll collaborate with you. We review contracts, track the budget, and keep everything organized so you never feel overwhelmed.
Design Development
4-8 months before
This is where your wedding starts to feel like you. We develop the design for each moment, ensuring it is cohesive through each space. Florals, tablescapes, lighting, rentals, and personal details are layered in to tell your story and bring your personality into the space.
Final Details
4-6 weeks before
With each vendor, we run through every detail and make sure everyone is aligned: timing, logistics, setup, and expectations. Nothing is assumed. We handle all of it so that by the time your wedding week arrives, the only thing on your mind is how excited you are.
The Celebration
Your wedding day
Our team arrives early and stays late. We orchestrate every detail behind the scenes, including setup, vendor coordination, guest flow, and timeline management. You are present for every moment. We handle everything else.
