Wedding Planner

So this might sound crazy but I wanna know what you guys think.


I have this picture of a big, fancy wedding in my head and I absolutely want to fulfill that dream. We are doing a small wedding (20 people total). I’m looking for advice/information for all inclusive experiences. I want food, drinks, hair/makeup, help with planning and design, and set up/tear down. Does anyone know of a place that does that type of thing? I live in Michigan but I’m willing to travel to get the experience. I just need help because I have no one else and planning an elegant wedding alone is overwhelming. Thank you!

    I'm sure you can find these type of venues in michigan!

    try the venue tab in weddingwire, under amenities you can choose all that you need and the guest limit and it'll pop up venues that have full service

    Exactly as Melle said or start googling - that’s how I found our resort.

    You can find this easily, but it won’t necessarily be with the one vendor. It’s common for venues to include hire, catering, lighting etc, sometimes even a dj, however things like hair and makeup you will likely need to source yourself, unless you’re having the wedding at a hotel which has its own spa and can supply hairdressers and makeup artists. Happy googling!

    You probably won't be able to find this ALL in one place, especially for such a small group, but I'm sure you can find a venue that includes some things. For example, mine includes rentals, catering, cake, and day of coordination. We don't have to set up or tear down anything. We found our own DJ, florist, and photographer. Our venue gave us a list of vendors to choose from if we wanted to, but we weren't limited to the list, it included those three plus bands, hotels, transportation, etc. You may be able to find one that includes some of those vendors, but offering a list is probably more common and would still make it less overwhelming to make your choices. It would be pretty rare to find a venue that includes hair and makeup, but you could ask your photographer, someone at the salon where you by your dress, or the person who normally does your hair/nails/eyebrows/whatever.

    You likely won't be able to find a venue that includes all of those things you mentioned. Typically all inclusive venues cover the space, tables/chairs, flatware, food, and drinks. Some may provide a photographer. However, you will likely have to find your own photographer, DJ, hair/makeup, and videographer. Try the venue tab here on WW or on The Knot. You could also look into hiring an actual wedding planner that could help you with a lot of this.
