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!).

$ 500 or less Lower range
$ 1,500 Average cost
$ 1,000 - $ 2,375 Most couples spend between
$ 3,530 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.

If you’re on the fence about hiring someone for planning or day or coordination like I was, absolutely DO IT and choose Brittany! I did most of my wedding planning by myself at first. As someone who had a very specific vision and can be a little bit of a control freak, I wasn’t sure if I wanted or needed to hire a day of coordinator and was worried about trusting someone else with my vision. However, I am so so glad I decided to go with Brittany. Hiring Brittany was by far the best planning decision I made! She was incredibly professional, detailed, and brought the best vibes! I found her through wedding wire and she got back to me so fast! Communication through the whole planning process was so quick and easy, she was quick at responding every time I reached out. She executed my vision perfectly and put together decor on the fly for tables I completely forgot about. She took off so much anxiety by standing up for me while dealing with conflicts with other vendors and doing all of the last minute communication the week of. This gave me more time to rest and spend time with my loved ones before the big day! I also only heard great things about her from my other vendors, they also said she was so easy to work with and made their days easier as well. Despite a few hiccups the morning of (that were not her fault), I was able to have an absolute stress free day knowing she was taking care of it. I am so glad I used her day of coordination services to have more time with my fiance and family. Absolutely recommend!

Sarah is the best planner to have on your wedding team! We hired her for day-of-coordination and I will always be thankful for the peace of mind I had on my wedding day. I am an overthinker 24/7 but on the day of our wedding, Sarah and her team ran the show like the professionals they are! I had not a single worry the entire day and it's thanks to Sarah's attention to detail and amazing planning skills. Communication with Sarah was fantastic and she kept me up to date and informed. I had all the emails and documents I needed to refer prior to the wedding to calm any nerves about possible "missed" things but she even covered things I didn't think of and made suggestions that I fell in love with! She worked with all the vendors seamlessly and I truly did not have to worry about anything other than getting married. Hire TLV if you want to have the best wedding experience!

We hired Dawn for day-of coordination for our wedding. Even though she was hired just for the day of, Dawn went above and beyond for us in the weeks leading up to the wedding. We had a ceremony venue change three weeks before our wedding, and Dawn was so understanding and flexible and really helped reassure us that everything would go great the day of our wedding even with such a big change so close to the date. The day of our wedding Dawn did so much for us - everything from decorating our wedding arch and helping set up ceremony chairs and decorations to helping us cue up music at our reception - she was incredible! I am recommending her to all of my friends and family who are planning on getting married in southern Delaware!
