Wedding Planning Fee
At The Wedding Company, the word 'planning' covers every aspect towards making your wedding day come alive perfectly, including execution. This includes scouting suitable venues, envisioning the decor, and overseeing minute details of your big day. You decide the level of support you need–whether it's specific venue requirements or complete end-to-end wedding planning services.
Since each project (no matter how niche) requires dedicated time, expert industry contacts, careful coordination, and on-the-ground support, we charge a Planning Fee.
It is a separate, independent service charged for our wedding planning and consultation services. These services are separate from any venue, decor, catering or other service you may book through The Wedding Company. The Planning Fee does not depend on you booking any service through us and is not linked to any booking milestone. It covers the time, expertise, coordination and planning support our team provides from the day you onboard with us.
This fee allows us to:
Build the right team dedicated to your celebration
Leverage our vendor network to secure the best deals for you
Provide on-ground support from start to finish
In short, the Planning Fee enables us to craft a wedding experience that's uniquely yours and flawlessly executed with the unparalleled services we're known for.
