Frequently Asked Questions

On average, a wedding planner costs between €1,750 for on-the-day coordination and €4,250 for full planning. Rates vary by region, guest count and the level of service you're after.

It depends on what you are looking for. A wedding planner saves you time — 20 to 40 hours for on-the-day coordination, considerably more for full planning — and knows suppliers it would take you weeks to find.

On-the-day coordination (€1,300 - €3,050) only covers the wedding day. Full planning (€3,050 - €6,050) covers the entire process over 12-18 months: concept design, sourcing providers, budget management and coordination.
