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!).

$ 595 or less Lower range
$ 1,600 Average cost
$ 1,200 - $ 2,500 Most couples spend between
$ 4,000 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.

Carla

I truly cannot imagine how our wedding day could have happened without Amanda. We purchased her month-of services and feel like we truly got our money's worth. The portal she provides access to (AislePlanner) was extremely helpful - we used it to arrange the tables, establish the seating chart, and develop the timeline. The intuitive interface saved so much time and effort during an extremely busy month. Additionally, Amanda offers a comprehensive inventory of wedding items (ie candles, frames, hurricanes, etc.) that helped save money and bring everything together. It was so helpful to not have to spend time and money finding those last few items to finalize decor. Lastly, Amanda's support on the actual day was incredible. She was instrumental in giving us the stress-free day of our dreams. She was 3 steps ahead of us the entire day - every time I thought of something, she had already taken care of it. She kept us to the timeline and was my go-to person throughout the day. She was amazing!

Lissa and her team were amazing to work with! Living overseas was a big challenge when planning our wedding, but with Lissa in charge, everything went so smoothly in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself! Having Lissa and the team take the lead on the day allowed us and our families to enjoy such a special day together without the stress of focusing on a million things at once. Not having to worry about when we would be taking photos, when we are doing speeches, when we have our first dance, was so nice - and Lissa kept us on track with all of this so well. She was so adaptable to catering for all of our changes and needs throughout the planning process, something we couldn't avoid being abroad! Her recommendations of vendors were absolutely perfect for our vision and our budget, and our guests thought so too! All of our guests kept saying how perfect the day was and how impressed they were with everything! I would highly recommend Lissa for your wedding planning needs, as she made our big day a memory we will cherish forever!

Delia-Anne was amazing as a day of coordinator at Riverside on the Potomac. We could not have done the day without her! Everything went off without a hitch. We left her a pile of decorations (candles and garlands) and she made the venue look so spectacular. She provided guidance, answered our many questions over text and made our special day flawless. Checking on my husband and I but also our parents to see if they needed anything throughout the day. If you're contemplating hiring a day of coordinator, do it, and hire Delia-Anne. You won't regret it!!!

I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with EYS (Eventfully Yours, Shawn LLC) on multiple events, and Shawn is truly a pleasure to work with. She is consistently professional, organized, and punctual, which makes event days run smoothly from start to finish. Her communication is clear and proactive, and she maintains a calm, confident presence that keeps both vendors and clients at ease. Her team is equally impressive — always professional, friendly, smiling, and willing to help wherever needed, often going above and beyond their assigned roles. As a fellow vendor, I genuinely value working alongside Shawn and would confidently recommend EYS to any couple looking for a dependable, polished, and experienced event planner.

I’ll be completely honest. At first, I had a lot of doubts about how this wedding would come together. I worried about the venue, the number of guests, the food, everything. But my wife truly blew me away. I genuinely regret ever questioning her because it turned out better than I could have imagined. There was more than enough food, plenty of space for everyone, and the entire day was filled with love and good vibes. Anyone who knows me knows I’m pretty introverted, but this experience made me want to get married all over again just to relive a day like that. Bottom line: book her. You won’t be disappointed.

We are beyond grateful to Noelle and the whole SSCO team for pulling off the wedding of our actual dreams. From the very beginning, they understood our vision and executed it flawlessly. Throughout the entire planning process, the team was patient, thoughtful and insanely talented — handling every detail with so much creativity and intention. I never really thought I’d care that much about having a wedding, but they completely changed that. They designed and produced something that felt so authentic to us — interactive, fun, quirky, and not like anything we'd seen before. It honestly blew us (and everyone there) away. The team’s eye for design and ability to execute flawlessly is unmatched. We feel so lucky we got to work with them and can’t imagine our wedding any other way. -Lindsay & Dylan

We used A Tid Bit bridal for our day of coordination and Megan and her team were such a delight to work with! We started about 8-9 weeks out from our wedding date and from then on, Megan and her team were on it. The resources Megan provided, along with weekly emails to stay on track, made the process leading up to the wedding so seamless and easy. On the actual wedding day, she and her team were true professionals and made me feel incredibly calm-knowing they had everything under control. Our day ran so smoothly and it was the best day I could’ve asked for! I could not recommend A Tid Bit Bridal enough!!!
