You’re smart. You’re organized. You’ve got a killer spreadsheet. So why does planning this wedding still feel like a second job?
Because it is.
The hidden cost of wedding planning
The average wedding takes 250–300 hours to plan. That’s why it feels like a part-time job—because it is one. Even if you love logistics, wedding planning comes with emotional labor—navigating family dynamics, balancing opinions, and making dozens of high-stakes decisions while managing real life.
And the kicker? Everyone assumes you have it under control.
What emotional labor actually looks like
- Managing text threads from six different people about the dress code
- Mediating between divorced parents over the guest list
- Googling “how much do wedding flowers cost” at 2 a.m.
- Worrying that if you forget one detail, the whole day will fall apart

Real example: A bride who needed a buffer
One of our NYC brides was feeling the pressure from two big families who wanted totally different vibes. We helped her set boundaries, reframe tough convos, and make decisions with confidence. By the end? She said it felt like planning with a friend who also happened to be a pro.
