She coordinated every detail
and brought it to life!
“I have no idea how we would have done it without Athena. We had a very specific vision (we brought in all our local neighborhood favorites and wanted a very punchy color palette) and she coordinated every detail for us and brought the entire thing to life. The planning, design, and day-of-coordination were all flawless”

Frequently Asked Questions
Definitely not!! I have my favorite people that have demonstrated exceptional service and deliverables, so I will of course recommend those individuals and have a whole list for you. However, my biggest goal is for you to work with the vendors that spark your heart and inspire you!!
HECK YES! Venue coordinators are amazing, but they are focused on making sure the venue has what it needs to run effectively. Wedding planners & designers are there to make sure YOUR dreams come true, that you’re taken care of, and that your priorities come first.
For a guest list over 125 people, we require you to book one assistant for the entire day ($750). If you have an extensive DIY decor list, we may require additional help throughout the day. We love your aunt or friend’s help, but just in case they gets sick, we need to be able to guarantee additional help to make your vision come true!
For most full-planning contracts, Athena (owner!) will be the lead planner and on site for your wedding day. For most final coordination contracts, one of our other lead planners will be your lead planner and on-site contact. We will try to confirm this person at the time of signing your contract, but schedules may change given the nature of booking one year (or further) out!
Weddings require a deposit of 30% and contract signature. We can do that all electronically sent right to your email!
We will say yes to anything, BUT may need to outsource professionals’ help to make it happen. We do not hang items from the ceiling (but have great referrals for that), take out the trash at the end of the night (unless you pay to add it on, but usually it’s your caterer’s or venue’s job), or pay invoices or sign contracts on your behalf.
We typically don’t, but you can always add it on! Most often, your other vendors will include breakdown in their services: florists compost their flowers and pack up the vases, the caterer takes out their own trash, etc. So depending on the vendors that you hire, it’s not necessary for us to be there until the wee hours. We usually leave around 10:00 PM once everyone is taken care of!
