Full-Service Planning & Design
End-to-end support for couples who want to feel held, not hurried.
Elevated Ever After
You’re managing a full life already — careers, relationships, family, travel, maybe even a move or other major life changes. Adding an entire wedding to your plate can feel like a full-time job, and you’d much rather spend this season being present than buried in spreadsheets and email chains.
Full-Service Planning & Design is for the couple who wants a trusted partner to lead the process from the very beginning: venue scouting, vendor curation, design direction, logistics, and wedding day production. You’ll make the big decisions; I’ll handle the details, keep everything moving, and create a wedding that feels both elevated and deeply personal.
This is for you if:
You want someone to manage the entire planning process — not just the last few weeks.
You care about design as much as logistics and want your wedding to look and feel editorial, not generic.
You’re planning in Chicago or beyond and need a partner who understands venues, vendor relationships, and realistic budgets.
You want to walk into your wedding weekend feeling calm, prepared, and genuinely excited — not burnt out.
What’s Included:
Comprehensive planning from engagement through wedding day
Venue research, shortlisting, and tour strategy
Vendor curation and recommendations tailored to your priorities, budget, and aesthetic
Editorial wedding design: custom concept, design deck, color palette, floor plans, and styling direction
Timeline creation and management for the full wedding weekend
Budget guidance and ongoing refinement
Regular planning meetings and email support
Coordination of your rehearsal and wedding day with on-site team
Wedding day production and vendor management so you and your families can be fully present
Investment & Booking
Full-Service Planning & Design begins at $18,000.
For weddings with guest counts, venues, or production needs that require expanded scope, I offer percentage-based pricing (typically 12–15%) for budgets over $150,000. We’ll walk through your vision, priorities, and logistics together and I’ll recommend the structure that makes the most sense for your celebration.
From a real couple:
-Marissa & Jereme
“Working with Alyson made our wedding planning process very simple and easy. Now the first thing I tell people planning a wedding is to hire a great planner!
Beginning with the initial venue list, which was very thorough and helped us nail down our eventual wedding location, to the initial mood board and floral/decor recommendations, Aly fully listened to our wants and needs and helped us execute them.
She had great insight on vendors around the city, especially makeup, which we used. Overall, Alyson was great to work with, and we'd recommend her services to any couple looking for a great planner.”
