Let’s get together and chat about how our Full Wedding Planning Services will allow you to enjoy the planning process and keep up with your other life commitments!
If you've already gotten started with planning your wedding, but need somebody to help keep you on track, this is the perfect service for you!
You might already know your venue, have a rough draft of your budget, and even have a few of your vendors booked. Now what? You may feel nervous that you're missing something big and important (like getting your marriage license) or the tiniest detail (like the color of your mother's nail polish). You may be wondering how this is all going to come together in time and under budget. If this sounds familiar, hiring Woodland Events as your partial planner is the perfect next step.
Included in our partial wedding planning package:
- All Wedding Management services, PLUS:
- An enhanced version of our online planning portal, with customized checklists and additional support.
- 30 hours of planning service and support, which may include budgeting, design advice and feedback, in-person meetings, vendor research and recommendations, and more!

Wedding Management is commonly referred to in the wedding industry as day-of coordination. This term is a myth. Truthfully, we are working with you for a month or more before your wedding and ensuring every detail is thoughtfully compiled and executed.
"Will you marry me?" Those four words will change your life. You know you want to say them soon, but maybe you haven't quite figured out how to do it. Or maybe you're just busy and need someone to make a few phone calls to get all the details set. Maybe you don't even know where to start.
Wherever you are in planning your proposal, Woodland Events can help to make the moment you get on your knee one you'll both remember forever. We can help design, plan, and/or coordinate a proposal that's unique to you and your soon-to-be fiance so all you have to worry about is overcoming your nerves when the time comes!
We'll help with everything from shopping for the ring to staying behind the scenes to ensure your entire proposal goes exactly according to plan. In fact, we'll do just about everything except ask for you!

Response from Woodland Events:
Thank you Naomi!!! It was a joy to work with you on such a special proposal!
I'm so looking forward to planning your wedding with you!!
I reached out to Todd late one evening and not only did I receive a response within the hour, he'd already looked up our church and made the connection to Hogwarts for our Harry Potter themed wedding. Within days, we'd set up a meeting (we got to pick a time from his online calendar!). Just minutes into that meeting, I knew that I needed Woodland Events to pull off my dream wedding.
From this first meeting with Todd, I felt confident he and his team would make this process so easy. We used Aisle Planner to keep organized from tracking tasks and budgets, all the way to list making and notes. The collaboration was awesome! Todd assigned new tasks when needed and sent friendly reminders when we missed a deadline.
Todd is so knowledgeable about this industry and shared so many ideas with us. He was also very open to all my crazy Harry Potter ideas! His recommendations for vendors were awesome and he was able to get us some discounts which is always something you want when paying for a wedding. He even kept us way under budget!
One offering that made life so much easier? His team tracked our RSVPs! Every. Single. One. All we had to do was reach out and follow up with the stragglers.
The rehearsal and day of? Perfection. Our families and bridal party took to Todd and his team immediately. As far as I knew, our wedding was flawless. He and his team made our day the most magical it could be! I knew I was in great hands and literally all I had to worry about was not crying during our vows. Todd must have had a time turner to make everything run as perfectly as it did.
We are truly grateful for our experience with Todd and the Woodland Events team! They went above and beyond and handled little emergencies so well (such as my mom's dress disaster and issues with a keg tapping out halfway through) that my husband and I had no idea until our families filled us in the day after!
If you're looking for the perfect planner for your wedding, stop looking. Woodland Events will make all your wedding dreams come true.

Thank you Emily!!! It was a dream working with you on your wedding! Fun fact: almost a year later, I still keep my wand in my briefcase and take it with me to client consultations! And my flying key bottle opener has a nice home on my desk ❤️
