WEDDING PLANNING AND COORDINATION

Included in all of our packages
Timeline Management and Floorplan Creation
The timeline we create for your wedding day will serve as the blueprint for a successful event. No detail is too small to exclude - our goal is to centralize information to ensure everyone knows what to expect. We work with you to design a detailed floor plan that considers logistical needs, event design, flow, rentals, and decor. Once this is finalized, we distribute everything to your vendors for easy execution.
Rental Coordination and Management
Rentals are a crucial portion of the planning process. We take your vision, your venue's inventory, and your event's rental needs and make sure you're getting the right amounts at the right price. We'll also manage applicable rental needs of your other vendors, saving you from extra coordinating costs.
Helping Hands from Set Up to Clean Up
We truly want you and your loved ones to enjoy your wedding day. Let us handle the setup of your decor and personal items. We'll manage your vendors throughout the event, as well as clean up at the end of the night. No one should have to work their own wedding - especially after months of planning!
Guidance and Expertise
You can release that breath you've been holding - we've got your back! Each step of the way we're here to answer questions, bounce ideas off of, and provide experienced advice. You'll also receive guides on countless topics: wedding websites, vendor gratuity, marriage licenses, traditions, and much more. Email communication with your planner is unlimited - we want you feeling supported.
Tailored Vendor Recommendations and Contract Review
No matter where you are in the vendor process, we curate a custom list of recs based on your style and budget. You'll also get access to our Little Pink Book: a tried and true vendor directory with over 200 partners. We always review your contracts with a professional eye so you can book with confidence.
BABS - Your Personal Planning Portal
We're big on organization, so we make each couple a custom planning portal we call BABS that includes essential tools and folders to house your contracts, documents, and inspiration all in one place. The best part? It's integrated with Google Drive so each document updates in real time.

ask a planner
Standalone Planning Consultations
Ask A Planner is an alternative to our package services if your budget doesn't allow for it. These consultations allow you to ask a professional questions about specific wedding topics (i.e. your budget) to evaluate your plan and gather experienced insight. Best of all, you'll get access to helpful tools, templates, and guides we use for our full service clients. A consultation with a professional is a great option if you don't want to make a full commitment to hiring a planner.

A LA CARTE SERVICES
Custom is our middle name. We know that every wedding has a different set of wants and needs. Below you'll find a list of a la carte services you can add at any time. Questions? Just ask!
The difference in package cost will be invoiced at the current rate. All fees once paid, are nonrefundable. Add-ons are only applicable to Wedding Planning Packages, not Ask A Planner Consultations.
Travel Fee
$155
(starting price)
If your venue is within 30 miles from our regional office, we are happy to waive our travel fee! We love working all over the PNW, but the miles can add up quickly when we're driving out for essential meetings like walkthroughs, rehearsals and wedding days. Our travel fees are exactly the standard IRS rate that we pay our planners for drive time for the necessary onsite meetings - nothing more!
Overnight fees only apply to venues 90 miles away from our regional office, but this is to ensure we are there for you at a moments notice and our planners are safe at the end of the night. Questions? We are more than happy to break everything down for you.
Venue Search*
$200
flat fee
You don't have to wait to book a planner until you have a venue. We'd love to help you find your dream venue and narrow down the options based on your budget, needs, and priorities.
*This Venue Search price is only applicable as an add-on to a wedding planning package. If you are interested in a partner to help you in a Venue Search without committing to a planner, check out our Ask A Planner - Venue Search and Consultation.

This add-on means we will do all the above for you for any vendor(s) of your choosing. We'll inquire, gather info, vet vendors for you, set up consultations, and narrow down options so you have the the info you need to decide who is the best fit for you.

Our couples find this service most useful for booking their caterers, florists, photographers or lighting services. Busy couples who want to make the decisions for their wedding but just don't have the time find our Deluxe Package the most helpful- you're time is valuable! Let us help you keep more of it.

Hands down, hiring YPB was the best decision my wife and I made for our wedding.
We worked with Lauren McRoy for our wedding in April 2022. She was an absolute lifesaver. We tried to plan on our own and reached mid to late March before the panic set in and we realized we needed help. There were a couple vendors we had that were really difficult to work with. Lauren was able to get answers and agreements from them almost immediately. After I spent MONTHS trying. I will never again underestimate the power of hiring a professional with connections and expertise.
Lauren herself was incredibly kind and fun to work with. Her confidence and know-how calmed our worries moving up to the wedding, and completely removed them on the day of. The wedding went PERFECTLY and that is 100% due to the work her and her team did. I truly only wish we hired them sooner.
PS I think we may have saved money overall by hiring YPB, between the discounts and other advice they easily paid for themselves. Even if they hadn't, the peace of mind was priceless. - Ericka
