THE FOUNDATION OF A FINE ART WEDDING
FULL SERVICE WEDDING PLANNING
The Fine Art Wedding + Event package is what sets Events by Autumn apart from other planners.
It includes full service planning, as a basic foundation, but it goes far beyond just planning.
Learn more about the process below and how I can make your event so unique.
Step 1
INITIAL CONSULTATION + ONBOARDING
One of the first things we'll do together is just dream. This goes beyond what the day looks like - it includes how it feels, what it tastes + sounds like, and who will be there. I'll provide forms for your use in brainstorming + the organization of your own guest information. Those documents include things like:
-
Shared planning checklists
-
Guest List template
-
Vendor payment tracking
-
Online client portal (where all future documents will also be stored!)

Step 2
DESIGN, INSPIRATION + BUDGETING
I'll take the initial information you provide, and work with you to begin narrowing down the must-haves, budget range, and the big design elements you love. We will bounce inspiration back + forth. I love to look at ideas you've already been thinking about, but it's also my job to take those ideas and push the envelope even further, to make your event look unique to you two. I'll provide:
-
Customized Pinterest design board
-
Dream menu planning + inspiration
-
Initial table scapes
-
Budgeting
-
Diagrams + layouts

Step 3
VENDOR SELECTION + MANAGEMENT
Once you've established a comfortable spending limit with me, based on our design concepts and overall vibe of the day, I'll curate a customized vendor recommendation list. This will be specific to your event needs + budget. I always try to give a few selections in each category, so you're ultimately able to research + choose who you work with. I'll provide + assist with the following:
-
Vendor recommendations
-
Venue Tours
-
"FAM" (familiarization trip to your event location)
-
Vendor contact information

Step 4
ORGANIZATIONAL TOOLS
This is where my decades spent in the industry (in many facets of event related positions) comes in handy. I often know what information vendors need, in advance of their need. I know how to sort + file + communicate information so it's clear as to what your day will look like, what times everyone needs to be where, and how it will all happen. In short, I am ORGANIZED + PRECISE. I'll provide the following:
-
Design sketches
-
Event orders
-
Timelines
-
Inventory lists

Step 5
THE FINE ART WEDDING!
This is where I'm very different from other planners. You've dreamed + budgeted all the details, and now I will implement them in a way that's beautiful, cohesive, AND professionally built. Because I only charge material cost, this also leaves you room in the budget for more! (often used towards a better bar selection, more florals, or an elevated menu.) I am actually a professional artist, and graphic designer with many years of experience implementing event dreams and making them a reality.

Step 7
MEMORIES TO LAST A LIFETIME
Along with the photos and videos of your wedding day, you'll take home memories of the biggest celebration of your life. You'll remember how things tasted. The moments you've planned with us, coming to life. And you'll cherish the memories for a lifetime. Meanwhile, your guests will also continue to rave about the experience, and gush about all the little details that made your day one of a kind.
And that's what we strive to deliver every time.
