How Much Does a Luxury Wedding Cost?
I get asked this question a lot and while there is no one answer to how much does a luxury wedding or a high-end wedding planner costs in California, or anywhere for that matter, there are some indicators that might be helpful to you.
The short answer:
Generally, the cost to the wedding planner is 15 to 20% of the wedding budget, or a flat fee depending on the planner, the number of guests, where the wedding is, when it is, and what the couple wants.
Is that a lot?
Not really. Luxury wedding planners spend hundreds and hundreds of hours working on weddings before the actual wedding happens. Most luxury wedding planners will save you from making costly mistakes such as hiring the wrong vendors, not reading or understand contracts, or wasting money on unnecessary things. And that can quickly add up to thousands of dollars saved during the planning process.
Are all wedding planners luxury?
No. The way to find out more about a luxury wedding planner is to look at their social media. See the kinds of weddings they post. Pay attention to the details. That's where you'll see the money spent.
What makes a wedding high-end?
It’s really comes down to the many details that go into a high-end wedding. It’s when ever single factor has been considered and chosen with thoughtfulness and an eye for design and quality. Like building a home, or designing a dress, it’s all about having the right person at your side. You might not need a high-end wedding, but if you want one, you will need the right wedding planner if you want one. As Walt Disney said, "There is no magic in magic. It's all in the details."
