What is this wedding going to cost?
This is THE #1 question for newly engaged couples.
Would you love to have a guide from square one to give honest advice and share decades of budgeting and planning experience? So, how do you budget for the wedding you want, or how do you spend as smartly as possible? We will work with you to assess your priorities and give you a sense of what the top vendors will cost.
With so many venue options, key service-providing vendors (Photographers, Entertainment, and Décor), and other wedding day must-haves, it's really easy to unknowingly overspend early in the planning/decision process. These types of out-of-budget decisions will put couples on a path that leads them directly to stress-ville and compromise city.
Wouldn’t you love to avoid this stress during the last few months of wedding planning?
Budget Roadmap

- Extensive questionnaire that will define your wedding day and vendor priorities ranging from the “Must Have” to "Don’t Need This.”

A two session meeting with our HBIC Founder, the first is a 90-minute "Power Session" aka “pick your brain, ask me anything, all-access” type of virtual meeting.

By the end of your 1st session, you’ll have a way better “big picture plan” to get you to your big day, tons of professional-level know-how, and a kick-butt beginning to your wedding planning.
