Our Process:

Getting To Know You -

There is an abundance of incredible venues and talent worldwide, creating both excitement and a sense of challenge. As your dedicated team, we will take the burden off your shoulders. We'll learn about you, your wedding goals, your aesthetic, and your guests - all before signing a contract.

Logistics and Planning -

A seamless wedding involves so much more than how it looks. A beautiful event, while nice to look at, means nothing if it isn’t well produced. It’s understanding proper service, whether it’s an intimate family-style dinner party for 20 or a multi-course culinary experience for 200. It’s crafting food and beverage pairings and presentation based on your aesthetic. It’s analyzing a photographer given their personality and medium, and the way they handle light. From procuring accommodations and ground transportation, to dealing with vendor/location barriers, entertainment, guest lodging budget strategies, rain back-ups, and beyond, we manage it all. We serve as your advocates, presenting procured choices based on what is best for you and your event, while crafting the wedding of a lifetime for you and for your guests.

Design -

We meticulously craft the ideal color palette, taking into account your preferences and colors that work well together. We craft design and location for which floral installations work great for your location, ensuring that every visual concept is personally conceived, and every detail is carefully supervised. Our goal is to craft an inspiring ambiance, blending your identity and preferences with your celebration location, creating a seamless and personalized design.

Execution -

Like the saying goes - takes a village - and that applies to producing a great wedding. After the planning and design is set, we become hosts on your wedding, overseeing the production from set-up to tear-down. Gifts delivered; rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and other events and activities completely managed. We’ll make sure you have your beverage of choice in hand. Mother nature has other plans? No problem. We’ll run the entire show with you as our guest.

Planned by Peter is unmatched

Peter is the pinnacle of professionalism and expertise. He took on our wedding only a few weeks before the date, and leaned right in to understand our vision. From the first phone call, all the way through the event, he was attentive, helpful, and understanding. He executed every element of the wedding exactly how we planned it, and ensured that we were well taken care of through entire evening. We could not have asked for a better planner to have made our wedding perfect.

Incredibly flexible and dependable

Peter was absolutely fabulous as a day of wedding coordinator! I was having a hard time finding someone in my price range who could conceptualize my ski wedding ceremony dream, but Peter came through for me!

For the reception I asked Peter to be 100% in charge of decor design and setup, and he exceeded my expectations. He has a plethora of classy reception decor that you get to use as part of his package, saving you money, time, and reducing waste. He coordinated a late night pizza delivery for us, and even helped take home items we didn’t want to deal with that night, so we could leave without asking family to help.

Peter was irreplaceable from design through execution, and allowed us to relax and enjoy our evening. I would 100% hire Peter again!

The best wedding planner

I recently had my wedding, and I am so grateful that we found Peter. We currently live in Texas and wanted to have a destination wedding in Park City Utah. My wife and I tried to start planning our wedding from afar, but that was just not possible without having someone there in Utah to help us. We started looking for wedding planners, but were spectacle with some of the horror stories we heard from other weddings. From the first day we spoke with Peter, he was very detailed and made us feel comfortable once he explained everything of what he offered. Throughout the whole planning process, Peter was always on top of everything, and would communicate with us regularly to make sure everything was in order. He gave suggestions, and made the whole planning experience stress free. On the wedding day, Peter was there for my wife and I when we needed something and made our wedding day so amazing. He knows exactly what he is doing and would do anything to make your wedding better than you expected. Thank you Peter for such and amazing wedding.

Owner & Planner

Hello!

I'm Peter Ktestakis, owner and main planner for Planned By Peter. Weddings & Events.

I love planning events and creating a memorable event for clients and their guests. I got into event planning after taking the time and planning my wedding down to the minute.

The feeling I got after the event, the feeling of happiness for myself, my wife, and all the guests that joined us - that feeling is the same feeling I want to create for others. To this day, I still have family and friends mention our wedding and how much fun they had.

Besides planning events, I also rock climb and golf!

I look forward to meeting you!
