Frequently Asked Questions

Full-service wedding planning involves Wendi from the very start of your engagement — sourcing venues, managing all vendors, building and tracking your budget, directing your design vision, and executing every detail of your wedding day. Day-of coordination begins 4–6 weeks before your wedding date. At that point, Wendi steps in to confirm all vendors, build your master timeline, direct the rehearsal, and manage every detail on your actual wedding day so you and your family can be fully present.

Full-service planning is ideal if you want expert guidance from the very beginning, don't have time to manage the planning yourself, or simply want the most comprehensive, stress-free experience possible. Day-of coordination is perfect if you've enjoyed planning your own wedding and have most details organized, but want a trusted professional to execute everything flawlessly on the actual day. Wendi will help you figure out the right fit in your free consultation — with no pressure either way.

Wendi personally leads every wedding she takes on — you will always be working directly with her, not with assistants or junior planners. For wedding day execution, she works with a trusted team of experienced assistants to ensure every detail is covered from multiple vantage points. This gives you the personal expertise of Wendi combined with the coverage of a small professional team.

For full-service wedding planning, booking 12–18 months in advance is ideal, especially for peak-season dates (spring and fall are extremely popular in the Texas Hill Country). For day-of coordination, 6–9 months in advance is recommended to ensure Wendi's availability on your date. That said, she occasionally has openings for closer dates — it's always worth reaching out.

Wendi intentionally limits her bookings each year to ensure every couple receives the full depth of her attention and expertise. She does not overbook — which means she is genuinely invested in your wedding, not rushing between appointments or stretched thin across dozens of events. Because she limits availability, early booking is strongly encouraged.

Your free consultation is a relaxed 30-minute conversation — by phone, video call, or in person — where Wendi gets to know you, your vision, and your wedding details. She'll explain her services, answer all your questions, and offer honest advice on which service best fits your needs. There is absolutely no pressure or obligation.

Wendi serves the entire Texas Hill Country region, including Austin, Dripping Springs, San Marcos, New Braunfels, and all surrounding Hill Country areas. She has deep local knowledge across all of these markets — including preferred vendor relationships, venue expertise, and an understanding of local logistics that only comes from years of working in each area.

Absolutely. Venue selection is one of the most important early decisions you'll make, and it's one of the areas where Wendi's local expertise truly shines. She has personally worked at most major Hill Country wedding venues and can give you honest, firsthand assessments. Full-service planning clients receive full venue sourcing and contract review support.

Yes to both. Wendi maintains a carefully curated network of preferred vendors — photographers, caterers, florists, bands and DJs, officiants, and more — all personally vetted. She's happy to recommend from this network. At the same time, you are absolutely free to work with vendors of your own choosing. Wendi will coordinate professionally with any licensed, reputable vendor you select.

This is exactly why you hire an experienced professional coordinator. Wendi has handled virtually every scenario that can arise — from late vendors to sudden weather changes to last-minute timeline shifts — with calm, confident problem-solving. In most cases, you won't even know an issue occurred because she resolves it quietly and quickly. Contingency plans exist for every major scenario before your wedding day even begins.
