Let’s Break It Down
One of the frequent questions couples ask us is: “What’s the difference between full-service planning and month-of coordination, and which one is right for us?” And truthfully? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your personality, your schedule, and your vision.
We’ve worked with couples at every stage of the planning journey. From those who needed a thought partner from day one, to those who had most of it figured out but wanted a wedding pro to pull everything together. So let’s break it down in real terms, so you can figure out what’s best for you.
Full-Service Planning
Full-service planning means we’re with you from the very beginning — often before you’ve even chosen your venue. It’s strategy + design + execution all in one.
With full-service, we’re in it with you from the moment you say “yes.” From finding your venue to managing RSVPs to sourcing custom linen swatches, we’re your planning partner, creative director, and logistics lead.
We help with:
- Finding your venue and curating your vendor team
- Managing your budget and payment schedules
- Designing your wedding style and sourcing rentals
- Creating a custom planning timeline (and making sure we stick to it)
- Reviewing contracts, managing logistics, and solving problems before they happen
- Handling communication with vendors
- Building your day-of schedule from hair & makeup to sparkler send-off
Ideal for:
Couples with limited time, busy schedules, planning long-distance, or wanting a deeply personalized wedding experience without the overwhelm.
Month-Of Coordination + Design
(Our most popular package — the sweet spot!)
Most of our couples land right here! You’ve already booked your venue and started planning, but want help refining your vision and need someone to take the reins when the big day gets close.
This is more than just coordination. It’s hands-on support to bring your design ideas together and execute everything flawlessly.
You’ll get:
- A design plan built around your color palette, aesthetic, and guest experience
- A sample table/mockup so you can see the vision before the big day
- Curated vendor recommendations for floral, rental, and décor
- Coordination starting 90 days to review details, build your timeline, and contact vendors
- Rehearsal + wedding day management so you can relax and celebrate
Ideal for:
Couples who’ve started planning but need help refining their vision and pulling everything together with style and structure.
Which One’s Right for You?
Here’s how we like to frame it:
- Full-Service = “I want you from the beginning. Help me build this from the ground up.”
- Month-Of + Design = “I’ve started planning, but I want it to look amazing and run smoothly — without doing it all alone.”
And no matter which one you choose, you still get the CM Production experience: warm, detail-driven, values-aligned planning with a team that gets it.
Let’s Design a Wedding That Looks Like You
Whether you need a planning partner from day one, or you’re looking for expert support to finish strong, we’ve got you.
Our Month-Of Coordination + Design package is our most popular for a reason. It’s the perfect balance of creative direction and expert execution.
