Your Questions, Answered

  • AV Weddings & Events offers Day Of Coordination, Partial Planning and Ceremony Officiation. You can check out more details of these services on our Services page.

  • Planning means we partner with you to build your wedding from the ground up—vendors, budget, timelines, logistics, and design support.

    Coordination is ideal if you’ve already planned your wedding and want an expert to bring it all together seamlessly so you can relax and enjoy your day. I step in ahead of your wedding, finalize details, create your timeline, communicate with vendors, and manage the entire wedding day.

  • Short answer: If you want to actually enjoy your wedding day—yes.

    Even the most organized couples find that weddings come with an incredible number of moving parts: vendors to coordinate, timelines to manage, logistics to solve, and the unexpected to navigate. A planner or coordinator makes sure all of those details are handled seamlessly so you don’t spend your day stressed about your wedding or event.

    Hiring a planner means:

    • You get expert guidance, resources, and recommendations that save you time (and often money)

    • Someone else is managing logistics, timelines, vendors, and problem-solving

    • You and your partner get to be fully present—soaking in the moments, not worrying about what comes next

    • Your family and friends get to relax and enjoy too instead of trying to remember the tasks that were delegated to them

    A planning partner is especially valuable if:

    • You’re juggling busy careers, school, family, or life (because… life!)

    • Your venue doesn’t include a coordinator or only provides limited support

    • You’re planning a destination or logistically complex wedding

    • You want a calm, confident professional to keep things on track, advocate for you, and handle anything unexpected

    Could you plan a wedding without one? Of course.
    But you shouldn’t have to manage it, worry about it, or troubleshoot it on one of the most meaningful days of your life.

    My role is simple: I handle the details. You get to enjoy your day.

  • We’d love to be in touch to see how we can work together! Start by sending us a message with your details and we’ll be in touch within 48 hours to schedule an intro call.

  • My experience spans event management, people leadership, and project management across multiple industries, including time spent working at venues and planning independently with couples and vendors. This background gives me a behind-the-scenes understanding of how every piece comes together.

    More than a planner, I serve as a trusted partner and steady presence throughout the process — offering guidance, anticipating needs, and caring for the details so your wedding day feels seamless, meaningful, and truly yours.

  • We happily serve couples across Michigan—Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Northern Michigan, and Mackinac Island. I also travel beyond Michigan depending on availability. Travel fees may apply for events outside Southeast Michigan.
