What Your Wedding Planner Will Do (and What’s Beyond the Blue)

When you hire a wedding planner, you're not just securing someone with a color-coded clipboard and a knack for matching champagne linens to blush peonies. You're bringing on a professional partner who knows how to turn your whirlwind of ideas into a day that's timeless, meaningful, and stress-free.

At Something Blue Events, we thrive on crafting thoughtful celebrations, ones that are personalized, well-paced, and deeply intentional. But here’s the thing: even fairy godmothers have boundaries.

Let’s talk about what’s in our wheelhouse and what’s outside the blue.

These are our bread and butter (and cake and calligraphy):

  • Coordinating Your Vendor Dream Team
    We liaise, confirm, and troubleshoot so your florist isn’t texting you while you’re in glam.

  • Keeping Your Timeline in Check
    From "I do" to the last dance, we make sure everything flows smoother than the signature cocktails.

  • Creating a Cohesive Wedding Design
    Whether you're leaning into vintage romance or chic minimalism, we help tie the look together with intention.

  • Offering Expert Etiquette Advice
    Seat Aunt Linda next to Cousin Mike? We’ll help you navigate all the delicate decisions.

  • Clarifying Your Priorities
    Champagne tower or live painter? We help you choose what matters most, so your budget serves your vision.

  • Detailing the Details
    We obsess over the small stuff. Hello, personalized signage and fluff-free guest favors.

  • Serving as Your Sounding Board
    When Pinterest becomes a rabbit hole of conflicting ideas, we’re the calm voice that brings focus.

Things Outside Our Scope

We love our couples, but we’re not personal assistants, therapists, or pet wranglers.

  • Booking Guest Accommodations or Travel
    We’ll suggest hotels, sure! But coordinating Cousin Jimmy’s flight from Des Moines? That's for him.

  • Pet-Sitting Duties
    While we’ll cheer on your pup as ring bearer, we’re not chasing them through cocktail hour.

  • Bartending or Bussing Tables
    We keep things running smoothly but when it comes to mixing mojitos or clearing plates, your hired pros shine.

  • Tackling Relationship Counseling
    We’re great listeners and love, love stories. But working through tough conversations? That’s for a licensed pro.

  • Handling Personal Errands
    Need a Tide pen or mouthwash on the big day? We've got you. But your dry cleaning on a random Tuesday? Not our lane.

  • DJ-ing Your Afterparty Playlist
    While we’ll help you book the best DJ, we’re not doing a surprise Spotify set at 1 AM.

  • Herding Wedding Party Members at 3 AM
    We facilitate joy, not bedtime negotiations.

The Bottom Line

Think of your wedding planner as the conductor of your celebration symphony, not the violinist, drummer, or ticket taker. Our job is to make the magic happen by coordinating, troubleshooting, and guiding you every step of the way. When everyone knows their role, that's when the day becomes unforgettable.

We bring the vision, the logistics, and the heart. You bring your love story. Let’s make it something blue AND something beautiful.
