Wedding planning costs, or how much it costs to host a wedding
One of the first wedding planning tasks is to draw up a wedding budget . And it's not that easy unless you're a wedding professional who knows the specifics and approximate costs. In addition, it is impossible to predict all expenses at once - for example, the need for a stage and sound system, a wedding day coordinator or bows in flower arrangements. A professional who will successfully help you orient yourself in the multitude of upcoming tasks is a wedding organizer. The wedding organizer will know how to suggest how to conjure up the perfect wedding day, within your budget, will tell you which options are better to give up, but which must be on the wedding day, will offer the service of a wedding day coordinator so that you don't have to worry about it and you can enjoy the wedding from the heart.
It is even better to contact the wedding organizer not only for consultation, but to leave the organization process itself in his knowledgeable hands.
How much do wedding organizer services cost?
When surveying wedding organizers , we found out that the indicative costs of organizing a wedding are 1000-4000 euros. However, a fixed figure or a specific price sheet is not usually published in this industry for certain reasons: the information is sensitive, because there are couples who do not want to reveal to their guests how much they have paid for the work of the wedding planner, and the service offer is based on the couple's intentions and can be quite different.
Partial or full service wedding organization
As the wedding organizer Inga Bērziņa shares, the price is evaluated based on the client's real needs. The wedding organization agency BANNTÉ EVENTS that she manages offers both partial wedding organization services and full service wedding organization.
Partial wedding organization "Organizer as mentor"
The bride acts alone, but we are by her side. Three big video meetings, finger on the pulse, feedback from us throughout the organization period, as well as a wedding coordinator on the wedding day.
Service description:
Video meetings/conversations.
Working with the information provided by the couple - the couple finds and chooses service providers, we contact them before the wedding to make sure what they have agreed on and whether the information on both sides matches. (If necessary, we share the contacts of proven and reliable cooperation partners).
From the couple, no later than two weeks before the wedding, we receive a list of all the contacts involved in the wedding day (musicians, cake, pastor, etc.).
Development of the technical scenario – after evaluating the couple's situation and wishes, we recommend the best version for the course of the day. We evaluate the course of the day drawn up by the couple and make corrections with recommendations - what fits, what to change and what to think about.
We send the couple a document in which it is easy to create a daily routine - it shows the daily routine of the new couple, the involvement of the technical staff, and it is easy to conclude which moments require involvement/help from the outside.
Coordinator on the wedding day - one person who is aware of the scenario of the day, communicated with the participants in advance and knows the assigned responsibilities. Keep your finger on the pulse throughout the wedding day. The main task is to coordinate the celebration, starting from the moment of the ceremony.
This package does not include the search for specific service providers, the process of developing wedding stylistics and design.
The main guideline - you are looking for answers to the unknown!
Wedding planner Renāte Mākulēna also offers several types of wedding planning services: full day wedding planning service, wedding coordinator on the wedding day and partial wedding planning. Individual consultations are also available.
Full-day wedding organization services , when the couple themselves are only involved in the approval of the vision, ideas and budget allocation, as well as in the selection of service providers, but I, as the organizer, take care of all the details related to the organization of the wedding - selection of service providers, site inspection, preparation of parts, delivery of small inventory for the wedding day, coordination of the wedding day, development of the day plan/scenario, visualization development, etc., starts from 1,500 euros. The price depends on the number of guests, the required amount of work, the place of work (whether it is in Latvia or abroad), the required number of coordinators on the wedding day.
What is included in 1500 euros? Example: wedding up to 30 people, 2 coordinators on site on the day of the wedding (one at the place of celebration, the other at the bride/couple), wedding budget up to 15,000 euros (not including the image of the bride and groom). Additional - travel costs, which include fuel, time spent on the road and depreciation.
The cost of the wedding coordinator service is 600 euros. It's one person on your wedding day who is basically just there for the celebration. It works like a wedding day controller – knows all the details, where to be, at what time, how long, when to arrive, what to expect, when to expect. A month before the wedding, the wedding coordinator receives all information about the plan from the couple and makes corrections, sends a detailed plan of details according to the scenario of the wedding day prepared by them, contacts the service providers, informing them that all questions will be answered by the coordinator on the wedding day; the coordinator will provide the small inventory for the wedding before the wedding day, if necessary.
Partial wedding planning is a fantastic option for couples who want to organize their own wedding but don't want to reinvent the wheel, so choose professional help on their wedding day. This offer includes three unlimited time consultations for a couple during wedding planning, my materials that I work with every day to facilitate the couple's wedding planning journey - time schedule for works, budget, wedding guide, list of details; face-to-face meetings two weeks before the wedding, arrangement of the day plan, coordination of the wedding day on site at the place of celebration. The price for this service starts from 800 euros.
What is included in 800 euros? Example: wedding up to 30 people, one coordinator on the wedding day at the venue, budget up to 15,000 euros. Additional - travel costs, which include fuel, time spent on the road and depreciation.
This option is also perfect for couples who want a small wedding, a wedding for a few hours, a wedding without a party, where they don't want to worry about the details, but rather enjoy the day. We discuss everything at the first meeting.
Both face-to-face meetings and video consultations
Ilze Berga / Ilze Berga Event & Deko also provides wedding organization services, wedding coordination services and consultations. Separately, it is possible to provide decoration and floristic services, provision of a romantic table and parking space, and selection and design of the design of the ceremony site.
