What is the difference between Full Wedding Planning, Partial Wedding Planning, and Wedding Management?
FULL WEDDING PLANNING
The majority of our clients choose full wedding planning. Throughout the planning process, we are with you, ensuring you are on track with tasks while making sure your budget is maintained. We are there to provide design ideas, advice on every aspect of your wedding, and even sometimes just an ear to listen . Full-service planning offers you the highest level of service from your lead planner.
PARTIAL WEDDING PLANNING
Some couples have started their planning and then realized they need more help. Partial planning services are a good fit for these clients. We will get you back on track with your planning with quarterly meetings and assist you in the process of finding the best vendors and providing design ideas.
WEDDING MANAGMENT
Often called “Day of Coordination” this service is much more than that, we start working with you 90 days before your wedding on the details. You also receive 3 hours of wedding planning consultation time that you can use anytime after signing the contract. For clients done with their planning and are looking for a professional to put together all the pieces, wedding management is their chosen service. Wedding management is only available for weddings at commercial venues.
I have a lot of ideas; are you open to my vision?
Absolutely! Your wedding should always reflect you as a couple. Our job is to refine your vision so that it fits your budget and location. Relying on our expertise will ensure your wedding is everything you envisioned and maybe even more.
Will you take over my wedding?
We are your wedding planning partners; couples should be as involved as they want to be in the planning process. Depending on the services you choose, your planner will be involved with as much or little as you want. A wedding planner is here to facilitate and manage the details, so you don’t have to. Your involvement is key to a successful couple/wedding planner relationship.
The venue I’m getting married at has an in-house coordinator. Why do I need a wedding planner?
Your venue coordinator works for the venue, and an independently hired wedding planner works for you! We are your advocate with all of your vendors, including the venue. Also common in venues is the turnover of coordinators; you may be planning your wedding for a year, or so your contact with them may change, an independent planner is with you through the whole process.
Do you have assistants at the wedding?
Depending on the size and complexity of the wedding, assistant assignments are done by the lead planner. Your planner knows what staffing works best for your wedding so that it runs smoothly. A lead planner will always be on-site throughout the whole wedding day.
What makes Red Letter Event Planning different?
We specialize in destination weddings to the Inland Northwest. The majority of our clients do not live here and want to experience nature’s beauty at their wedding. We understand how stressful long-distance planning can be and want to make the process seamless and even fun for you! We believe you should enjoy the wedding planning process.
Do you only plan weddings?
No, we are a full-service event planning company. We love to plan personal celebrations and corporate events. With over 15 years’ experience, we can design and plan any event.
I have an idea or want something that isn’t listed here. Can you help?
Hell yes! We can make it happen. Shoot us an email and let’s chat.
What Clients Say…
Kristen and Tom
Jessica was absolutely AMAZING! From our very first interaction with Jessica, we felt at ease and supported in our wedding planning process. We were planning our Coeur d’ Alene, ID wedding from Northern California which for many might be a bit stressful, but she truly made this process as easy as wedding planning can possibly be. Jessica was incredibly responsive, professional, thorough and helpful from day one. The day of the wedding the family joke is that she had 8 arms because she did EVERYTHING. From coordinating all vendors before and during the wedding, to holding our niece so she wouldn’t cry during the ceremony, to walking our dog, to arranging our beautiful centerpieces and perfectly placing our décor, to helping me bustle my confusing dress, all while sticking to our timeline perfectly. Jessica’s calm and professional demeanor made us all happy and at ease during our most special day.

People always say that planning a wedding is stressful, even without a global pandemic. Thanks to Red Letter Events and their expertise, we were able to enjoy the planning process even with the ups and downs related to COVID-19. They are very knowledgeable, down to earth, hard-working, organized, thoughtful, and creative. They captured by wedding vision by using essentially one picture and made it all come to life. During the wedding day, my husband and I (and our families) got to enjoy the day from start to finish because we knew that the Red Letter team was there to support. They were worth every single penny and then some! If you are hesitant on whether or not to use a planner, just do it. You will never regret having Red Letter Events plan your wedding! Thank you so much!

I wish I could give 1000 stars!! You simply have to hire them as your wedding planners. Jessica and Reagan are the most organized, knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate duo I have ever met. They will go above and beyond to make sure every single aspect of your whole weekend goes without a hitch. I cannot explain how much they contributed to the most successful and memorable weekend of mine and my husbands life. We are forever grateful for them!

This wedding vendor review has taken us the longest to write because it’s diffilcult to fully articulate how gratefull we are to have hired Jessica English as our wedding planner. Our wedding planning process was incredibly smooth under Jessica’s lead despite a cancelled venue 99 days before our wedding, a 200+ guest count on a private proerty, and multiple little details I dreamed up. Jessica handled every challenge hurdled at her with grace and confidence. We will never fully comprehend how she pivoted through every soaked linen, massive puddle, and timeline change without us even knowing. She just took care of it, kept us informed, and let us be present to enjoy our day. Her vendor recommendations were all excellent. She went above and beyond t make our day special, and we are forever grateful. We know we couldn’t have pulled this wedding off without her dedication, resilience, quick thinking, and straight up hard work. We love you, Jessica!! Thank you!

I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about Jessica. We hired her as a day of wedding coordinator but she does so much more than ensure that single day runs smoothly. I knew the harshest critics were going to be my mom and husband. they were also charmed and thankful for everything she did. For my mom, Jessica renewed her trust in wedding planners. For my husband, he has repeatedly said to me “wow the wedding coordinator was so great”. He never felt pushed or stressed out by Jessica. Finally for me, Jessica did in fact make sure everything ran smoothly. When something beyond our control occurred she was the one to support me emotionally and keep the show running. Thank you so much Red Letter Events. I recommend you to any brides looking for help saving their sanity and wanting to have the most fun, special wedding.
