Wedding and event planning · Kingston
Twenty weddings a year, for one flat fee
We plan twenty days a year and no more, so every couple has us on the phone, at the tastings and on the day. The fee is agreed at the start and doesn't grow with your budget.
The calendar
The next twenty dates
Each one is a wedding we give our whole attention to. Open dates can be asked about; held dates are waiting on a couple's answer and may come free.
- Open
- Held while a couple decides
- Taken
A flat fee
What a percentage would cost you
Most planners charge 12 to 15 per cent of the wedding budget, so their fee rises with every upgrade they suggest. Ours doesn't. Move the slider to your budget.
How a year goes
From the first call to the last dance
A typical full-planning year. Shorter engagements are fine; we compress the middle.
- 12 months
First meeting
Budget, guest list, the feel of the day. We hold your date for two weeks while you decide.
- 10 months
Venue
Three venues visited together, contracts read line by line.
- 8 months
Suppliers
Photographer, band, florist, caterer. Two quotes each, our notes on both.
- 4 months
Tastings
Menu, cake and bar, with us at the table.
- 1 month
The run sheet
Every minute of the day, sent to every supplier and walked through at the venue.
- The day
Two of us, all day
From the flowers arriving to the last car leaving. You don't hold your phone.

From our couples
Said afterwards
They told us the cheaper photographer was the better one. A percentage planner would never have said that.
Forty guests from Toronto, three days of events, and not one car was late. We didn't hold our phones once.
Two hundred and twenty people and they still knew my grandmother's name when she arrived.
