- How do I find a wedding planner near me?
- Start with the level of help you need, not the zip code. Ivory House Co. works as a local wedding planner and coordinator for hometown weddings and travels as a destination wedding planner worldwide, so the same team can run a backyard ceremony or a villa weekend abroad. Send your date and location and we will confirm availability within one business day.
- How much does a wedding planner cost?
- Full wedding planning starts at $6,500, partial planning at $4,200 and day-of wedding coordination at $1,800. We quote a flat fee — never a percentage of your budget — based on guest count, location and complexity.
- What is the booking process, step by step?
- 1) Send the form below with your date and preferred package. 2) We confirm availability and send a written proposal within one business day. 3) We meet for a 30-minute discovery call. 4) You sign the agreement and pay the deposit, which holds the date exclusively. 5) Planning begins with a kickoff call and shared timeline.
- How much is the deposit and when are payments due?
- All coordination packages — Full Planning, Partial Planning and Day-Of Coordination — require a 50% deposit to hold the date, with the remaining balance due one month before the event.
- How do we schedule a consultation?
- Send the form below or call (951) 365-9490. Discovery calls run Monday through Friday and select Saturdays, by video or phone, and the first call is free.
- What happens after we send a booking request?
- You get an on-screen confirmation and an email reply within one business day with date availability, a line-item quote and two call times to choose from. No date is held and nothing is charged until you sign.
- Can we change packages after booking?
- Yes. Couples often start with Partial Planning and upgrade to Full Planning; your deposit carries over and we simply re-issue the agreement with the updated scope and total.
- What is the difference between a wedding planner and a day-of coordinator?
- A planner works with you for months on design, budget and vendor selection. A day-of coordinator takes an already-built plan roughly 6 to 8 weeks out, confirms every vendor and runs the wedding day so you are not on duty.
- How much does a wedding coordinator cost?
- Day-Of Coordination starts at $1,800, Partial Planning at $4,200 and Full Planning at $6,500. Final pricing depends on guest count, venue complexity and travel.
- When should we hire day-of coordination?
- Book it as early as you can — good coordinators hold one wedding per date — but the working relationship begins about two months before the wedding.
- Do you work with vendors we already booked?
- Always. We review your contracts, confirm arrival windows and build the timeline around the team you have chosen.
- Do you coordinate destination and villa weddings?
- Yes, worldwide, including private estates and Airbnb or villa rentals where load-in, staffing and rentals need to be managed from the ground up.
