Weddings, milestone celebrations (like mitzvahs), and full-scale corporate events. If it matters to you, it matters to us.
The Full Edit is our most comprehensive experience for clients who want everything handled. The Select is for Type A clients who want to stay involved with structure and support behind the scenes. The Capsule is for proactive hosts at full-service venues who need planning guidance, vendor vetting, and design direction, with execution handed off to the in-house team when it’s go time.
That’s what your consultation is for. Kristen will walk you through both options and help you land where it makes sense. Want a head start? Take our quick quiz. Then head to the contact page to book your consultation.
No. That’s by design. The best events don’t come from someone showing up on the day. They come from intentional planning and strategy from the very beginning.
No. Partial planning usually means patching holes we didn’t create. We prefer to set you up for success from day one.
Yes. More time with your planner? Added design support? Extra calls? We’ll build those into your custom proposal.
As involved as you want to be. You’ll have a dedicated lead planner from day one who keeps everything on track no matter your package.
Yes. We’ve built trusted relationships and connect you with the right partners for your style, budget, and priorities.
Absolutely. Both packages include design guidance. We’ll refine your vision, connect you with the right creative partners, and if you’d like, build a vision board to pull it all together.
Yes, and we’re really good at it. Our system helps clarify priorities, allocate spending, and keep everything organized. You’ll also get access to our planning portal for budget tracking, payment reminders, and more.
Every event is different, so proposals are customized after your consultation. As a guide: The Capsule starts at $7,000. The Select starts at $12,500. The Full Edit starts at $17,750.
Yes. We’re best suited for events with total budgets starting around $100,000.
It depends on guest count, location, and scope. Most spend between $175,000 and $300,000.
No. Our fee is separate from your event budget. That means we won’t show up as a line item in the budget we build for you.
No. We meet with every potential client, at no charge, to help you understand our services and make sure the fit is right for both of us.
You’ll be matched with a lead planner who’s with you from start to finish.
We’re not a one-woman show. We’re a full in-house team. Every planner is a full-time employee, trained in the Well-Dressed way: consistent, supportive, stylish, and organized.
You’ll have real-time access to your planner through Voxer (our voice memo and text app), plus email, Zoom, and our planning portal.
Once you inquire and we confirm availability, we’ll line up a planner for your date. As soon as the contract is signed, you’ll be introduced so you can hit the ground running.
We’re rooted in Jersey City, NJ, and Wilmington, NC.
Yes. If it’s the right fit, we go. Travel fees will always be outlined clearly in your proposal.
Absolutely. We plan events across NYC, Brooklyn, the Hudson Valley, Pennsylvania, and throughout the Carolinas. Out-of-town clients are welcome too. If you’re planning in our regions, we’re your team.
Most clients book 14–18 months out. Occasionally, we take shorter timelines when the fit is right.
Fill out the inquiry form. Kristen will reach out to schedule your consultation and help guide you to the right package.
Payments are split into four installments. Your retainer is due up front, and the final payment is due 30 days before your event.
You’ll meet your lead planner and have a kickoff call within two weeks. We’ll get your planning portal set up and start making moves.
Being organized helps. But we bring the strategy, systems, and experience to flag blind spots, streamline decisions, and protect your time. It’s not just staying on top of things, it’s making the right calls at the right time.
Yes. Venue coordinators manage the venue and their staff. We manage everything else — your timeline, your vendors, your design vision, and all the moving parts that aren’t on the venue’s plate. That’s why we created our Capsule package: full planning support upfront, then a clean handoff to your venue team so they can do what they do best, and we’re still there day-of to make sure every piece clicks into place.
Each planner only takes on a limited number of clients. You’ll feel like the only one.
If your planner has an emergency, our team steps in seamlessly. We’re looped into every event through weekly meetings and shared systems, so nothing falls through the cracks. (And knock on wood, we’ve never had to use the backup.)
Our contract clearly outlines all policies on rescheduling, cancellations, and refunds. We’ll walk you through it before you sign.
Yes. Your digital planning portal includes checklists, timelines, seating charts, budget tools, and vendor info. Combine that with Voxer access to your planner, and you’ve got smart tech backed by real human support.

Well-Dressed Events helped make our wedding day run smoother than we could have ever imagined! They helped us curate our vision and then totally bring it to life with local vendors. They just know the ins-and-outs of the wedding industry and helped guide us through the whole process and had an answer for every question, big and small.
