Our Story

What’s the difference between a venue manager and a wedding planner?

A venue manager ensures the venue is protected and that vendors follow its rules and policies. While they’re a great resource for venue-specific questions and small day-of tasks, they don’t handle tasks like creating timelines, keeping events on schedule, managing emergencies, or providing personalized support for you and your partner throughout the day. That’s where a dedicated wedding planner comes in!

How can I keep my wedding costs down?

To save on your wedding budget, consider three key factors: guest count, wedding date, and prioritizing vendor areas that matter most to you. Since catering is often the biggest expense, keeping your guest list small can significantly cut costs. Choosing a weekday or Sunday instead of a Saturday can also save money, as can opting for a wedding during the “off-season” rather than peak months. Small adjustments like these can make a big difference!

Why aren’t vendor meetings and consultations part of the day-of coordination package?

With the Day-of Coordination package, you’ve already selected your vendors, and we step in to coordinate everything. A Planning package goes further, allowing you to have your planner attend vendor meetings and consultations. Regardless of the package, Luxury Design DFW provides thorough proposal and contract reviews to ensure your expectations are met, and every detail is covered for your big day!

Will the Planner/Coordinator help with décor setup and tear-down?

Your Planner or Coordinator’s role in décor setup and tear-down depends on how much your vendors are handling versus what’s DIY. It also depends on the time available at your venue for setup and clean-up. Your Planner will help organize a team to manage these tasks, ensuring everything is in its place and runs smoothly.

Does a planner/coordinator help put together my venue floor plan?

Absolutely! Whether you choose a Coordination or Planning package, your Planner will assist in creating your venue floor plan. For venues that handle floor plans in-house, your Planner will collaborate with them to confirm table and chair counts and placements and ensure the layout flows perfectly for your event.

What’s the difference between “Day-Of Coordination” and “Planning” services?

“Day-of coordination” focuses on seamlessly integrating all the details you’ve planned—like your chosen vendors and timeline—on your big day. On the other hand, “Planning” services are more comprehensive. They can include finding your dream venue, assembling an amazing vendor team, assisting with attire choices, and guiding you through every step of the process to create your perfect celebration.

Why should I hire a planner instead of asking friends or family to help?

Your family and friends should be able to enjoy your special day with you, not run around managing vendors and logistics. While you can still assign smaller, meaningful tasks to make them feel included, a planner ensures everything runs smoothly so no one misses out on the celebration. Without a planner, it’s common for someone to end up stressed and unable to fully enjoy the day—and that’s what we’re here to prevent!

Does the Planner/Coordinator stay for the entire wedding day?

Typically, yes! Your Planner or Coordinator is usually the first to arrive and the last to leave. This allows us to oversee every detail from start to finish, ensuring your day runs smoothly and stress-free.

How many meetings or phone calls are included in our package?

At Luxury Design DFW, communication isn’t limited. We’ll have as many in-person meetings, venue visits, or phone calls as necessary to ensure your vision is perfectly understood and your expectations are met. If it’s important to you, it’s important to us!

How soon should I hire a planner/coordinator?

Your Planner or Coordinator should be one of the first vendors you hire after getting engaged! This ensures you stay on task and on budget as well as minimize wedding-related stress. If you’re closer to the big day and realize you need a Day-Of Coordinator, reach out as soon as possible—wedding dates are often booked months or even years in advance!
