Have you ever wondered about the cost of hiring a wedding planner? Now that you have a better understanding of the services they provide and how they can assist you, it’s essential to consider their pricing when planning your wedding.

Pricing Structures: I’d like to highlight that the costs associated with wedding planners go beyond the time spent planning (averaging between 200-300 hours). These costs reflect our experience, logistical management, budget optimisation abilities, business overheads, on-site support team, money-saving skills, and access to trusted networks.

Full Wedding Planning Support: The pricing varies depending on the level of support and services needed. In the UK, most wedding planners charge a percentage of the total budget. The industry average typically falls between 10-15% of the total budget, with minimum fees also applicable (in our case £5000).

Something Blue: At Something Blue, we offer a comprehensive full wedding planning service. For weddings of 100+ guests, we charge 12.5% of the budget, with fixed fees available for larger budgets or multi-day events.

Wedding Day Management: For couples who have organised most of their wedding but need professional coordination on the day, our coordinators charge a fixed fee. Prices typically start at £950 and can increase based on the hours and complexity of the event.

Other Services: The costs of event design and decor services vary based on factors such as size, scale, and scope of work. It’s advisable to reach out to a wedding planner or event designer once you have a venue in mind, ideally with a strong in-house team for collaboration.

Extra Costs: Additional costs, such as travel and accommodation expenses if it’s a multi day event or abroad.
