Mini Planning Sessions

for the organized and independent self-planners looking for a little guidance.

There are two things you need to successfully plan any type of event:

  1. You need to be (at least a little bit) organized; and

  2. You need to already know the best venues and vendors — or have the willpower and time to figure that out.

When you haven’t done this before, it’s hard! And who has the time to start from scratch and research every little thing!? That’s why we offer event consulting with our mini-planning sessions.

Mini-planning sessions allow you to meet 1-on-1 with a professional event planner for an hour (or 2 or 3!). Whatever your event, you’ll leave our session feeling more confident in your planning process as we answer your questions, prioritize your task list, and provide unique vendor and design recommendations based on your budget and event needs.

What can we discuss during our mini-planning session?

Anything that will help you feel more confident planning your wedding or event!

  • Budget setting and vendor costs.

  • Recommendations for event locations and venues based on your guest count, style, and needs.

  • Event design and recommendations for decor and rentals in the Twin Cities area.
