How much does a wedding planner cost?

A wedding planner can be an absolute lifesaver for busy couples, ensuring that the planning process and actual event run smoothly. As a professional who’s been through the process before, they can also offer countless wedding planning recommendations and tips. It’s important to know wedding planning is not a one size fits all service - your wedding vision is unique and a wedding planner will customize their offering to fit your needs. Because of this and the wide range of services these professionals provide, pricing varies widely with most couples in the U.S. spending at least $1,500 on wedding planner services for their big day. Wedding planner costs also differ based on the planner’s level of expertise, among many other factors, as more experienced pros typically come with a higher price tag (and with that comes top-tier service!).

$ 400 or less Lower range
$ 1,000 Average cost
$ 750 - $ 2,075 Most couples spend between
$ 3,500 or more Upper range

Costs displayed are based on spend from thousands of couples who recently reported pricing for this service within their WeddingWire review. Pricing varies based on factors including, but not limited to, vendor’s experience, level of expertise, event guest count, date, and geographic region.

What services does a wedding planner's fee include?

The services a wedding planner’s cost includes vary depending on the type of professional you’re hiring — whether it’s a full-service, month-of, or day-of planner, or a planner who specializes in destination weddings. Here are some of the most common services that your wedding planner may include in his or her package:

Correspondence: About 30 percent of a wedding planner’s time is spent communicating with you and your vendors via email and phone. Think of your planner as the “coach” of your vendor team who ensures that all of your wedding pros work together well—and frequent communication is a huge part of that.
Venue and vendor selection: Your planner likely has a lot of connections in the wedding industry and can help you pick the right venue and vendors that can help bring your wedding vision to life. Often, your planner will attend interviews and meetings with you and your vendors, too.
Organization: A big part of wedding planning is... paperwork? Yes, unfortunately it’s true. But wedding planners can make sure that all of your budgets, contracts, timelines, etc. are properly organized and easily accessible if needed.
Wedding prep: There are lots of seemingly small tasks that go into creating your perfect day both before and on the day-of from creating a wedding-day timeline, assembling invitations, setting up your favor display, assisting with your seating chart, and much more.
Day-of coordination: You might not see your wedding planner much on the day of your wedding—and that’s how it should be! Your planner will arrive long before your ceremony begins and stay well afterwards, making sure that everything runs on-time and smoothly from behind-the-scenes and any issues are handled quickly and quietly so that you and your new spouse can enjoy the day, stress-free!
Post-wedding tasks: There will likely be several important tasks to handle after the wedding, from ensuring clean-up and breakdown occur properly to returning rental items and making sure vendors receive their tips.

What wedding events does a planner's fee cover?

In most cases, a wedding planner will assist with the wedding itself—both ceremony and reception. However, if you are able to increase your wedding planning budget and costs, your planner can also help plan your rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch. If you’re having a destination wedding with lots of events over the course of the weekend, your planner may assist with those as well—but expect to pay more.

How much does a day-of wedding planner cost?

A day-of wedding planner isn’t heavily involved in the wedding planning process and is usually hired closer to the wedding, but has a big role to play on the wedding day, ensuring that the events run on time and everything is running smoothly. On average, the starting cost for a day-of wedding planner in the U.S. is $800 with starting rates for higher-end planners averaging $1,250 to $3,395.

How much does a partial wedding planner cost?

A partial wedding planner usually comes on board a month or so before the wedding day and assists with last-minute tasks—helping with the seating chart, confirming vendors, and day-of responsibilities. The average starting rate for a partial wedding planner in the U.S. comes in at $1,250, but can range from $2,300 to $6,000 if you’re working with a more experienced pro.

How much does a full wedding planner cost?

A full wedding planner helps to plan your wedding from start to finish and is usually hired early on in the planning process—at least 10 months in advance. The average starting rate for a full service wedding planner in the U.S is about $3,000 with top-tier planners averaging $4,500 to $12,000.

Yours Truly was the perfect month of coordinator for our wedding. In the weeks leading up to the big day they were organized responsive and completely on top of every detail. They seamlessly communicated with our vendors created a clear timeline and made sure nothing was overlooked. On the wedding day itself everything ran smoothly and calmly which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. Their professionalism kindness and attention to detail made such a difference and we honestly cannot imagine the day without them. If you are looking for a reliable and thoughtful month of coordinator we highly recommend Yours Truly.

We found Lisa through a venue referral list and a quick Google search and an interest in the Lisa/Mark wedding duo. We booked them for full planning and DJ services. There are not enough kind words to say about Lisa and her husband, Mark. From my first conversation with Lisa on the phone, I knew she was down to earth, and wedding planning was something she was 100% passionate about. We came into our wedding with minimal inspiration and a very basic blueprint of what we wanted, and she truly curated our vendors to us and developed a day I will cherish, think about, and love forever. She met with us on so many occasions and came with us on an over year and a half journey. She was very patient with every request or mind change. She and her team worked with us to combine our cultures. Every bridal freak out was met with a calming presence in her and her figuring it out even if she didn't know the answer right away. I told everyone the morning of my wedding that I felt like I should be super worried and anxious, but I wasn’t, and I didn't know why. It was because Lisa was my planner, and I knew she would get it done the way we wanted. Wedding day truly was 0 stress for me, and for that, I am eternally grateful. She truly became someone we grew to call a friend, and we were so sad when our time together was over. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for wedding planning needs.

Our wedding day would not have been the same without Josie. She is AMAZING! From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and truly invested in making our vision come to life. On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly—we didn’t have to worry about a single detail. She handled any issues behind the scenes with professionalism and calmness, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. She made everything happen even if it was last minute and coordinated perfectly with other vendors to be sure everything was exactly how we wanted it! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares, I can’t recommend her enough!

From the very beginning, they understood the intimate, romantic, dark ambiance I envisioned and brought it to life with breathtaking precision. The décor, lighting, and overall mood were crafted so thoughtfully that it truly felt surreal. On top of that, their attentiveness throughout the process made me feel supported and heard the entire time—offering extended communication hours, answering my redundant questions, and always keeping the budget in mind. Nothing was overlooked, and everything was handled professionally. On the wedding day, the coordination was flawless. The day was beautiful, and their service was truly remarkable. I’m looking forward to the day we work together again.

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Christina Jarvis, and I would hire her over and over again....this is not an exaggeration. She was our planner/coordinator, and from the moment she stepped in, she completely took over in the best way possible. I had tried to take on so much myself, and without her, there is no way our day would have been as perfect as it was. We are also a wedding vendor, and after working with her at one event, I knew immediately I wanted and NEEDED her to be a part of my special day. She went so far above and beyond in every possible way and was honestly perfect. From start to finish, she made sure our day was exactly how we envisioned it. If there were any issues along the way, we genuinely have no idea, because she handled everything so calmly and gracefully. She traveled for our wedding and worked tirelessly for 15+ hours, never missing a beat. From coordinating with all of our vendors and ensuring everyone had what they needed, to building out the timeline, decorating, and even helping with cleanup; she truly did it all. I am sure there are a million details she took care of that I don’t even know about…she is a superhero! Every single detail was thoughtfully handled. What meant the most to us was how well she understood what was truly important to us and made those things her top priority. She also handled our family and friends with so much grace and professionalism (which is no small task!) and made everyone feel taken care of. Because of Christina, our entire day felt smooth, stress-free, and so incredibly special. We were actually able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, and that is something we will forever be grateful for. If you are considering hiring her, do it immediately. She is worth every penny and more. 🤍
