Why hire a wedding planner?
We know the art and science that makes for a smooth event. We’ve seen it all, so we know what works and what doesn’t. Instead of using your lunch break to contact florists and play floor-plan Tetris, allow Slauer Events to do that leg work. We love using our event experience to guide our clients through the process, allowing them to fully enjoy the planning of such a meaningful event!

Event Management
This is our base package. It’s similar to month-of coordination, but comes with a little extra support along the way: a kick off meeting and monthly check-ins from the moment you book with us. At 8 weeks out, we’ll start working on the event logistics (timeline, ceremony plan, inventory list, and floor plan). Some clients add venue search, a design board, and/or budget analysis (detailed below). This package works well for weddings with a total budget of $40k or under.
+ Kick off meeting upon booking
+ Monthly check-ins
+ Access to preferred vendor list
+ Access to Slauer Events inventory
+ Wedding weekend logistics questionnaire
+ Planning meeting 8 weeks out from wedding date
+ Venue walkthrough 4-6 weeks out from wedding date
+ Creation of wedding weekend timeline, inventory checklist, and floor plan
+ Rehearsal and ceremony direction
+ Set up of personal items (things like guestbook, champagne flutes, votives, etc.)
+ Day-of coordination
+ One wedding day assistant included

“Rachel is exactly what you want in a wedding planner. We had planned for an outdoor wedding but as storms were forecasted, we had to make many last minute changes. Rachel handled all of these changes efficiently and with so much grace and kindness. She made us feel so taken care of on our big day. Everything went so smoothly thanks to Rachel and her team - they were professional, helpful, and fun to work with. We simply celebrated and enjoyed the day as they worked their magic!”
