A recent study from Minted.com found that the average wedding takes 528 hours to plan! That’s the equivalent of 66 eight-hour workdays. But we can help!
Hiring a wedding planner like First Coast Weddings and Events can reduce that number by at least half, hopefully more! Because we work with vetted wedding professionals and have built relationships over many years, we can get answers quickly regarding availability, pricing or other details. Plus, we already know which vendors will fit your budget and style, so you don’t have to call 50 photographers or 25 florists.
We also know who to call when you have a special request for your wedding - lounge furniture to match your color scheme, unique games for your guests to enjoy during cocktail hour or even actors dressed in period costumes to match the theme of your wedding!
We’ll also keep you on track so that you don’t get overwhelmed with making lots of decisions at once. Over the years, we’ve developed a phase-based system to help you know what to focus on at any given time. Plus, our online Client Portal gives you access to all this information any time you need it.
Here are some other interesting stats from the Minted survey:
The top things couples would change about their wedding are the photographer, the venue, and the wedding planner. Or maybe the LACK of a wedding planner.
The most time-consuming parts of planning a wedding are:
Choosing the venue
Buying the dress
Deciding who will be in your wedding party
Selecting a caterer
Dealing with the reception seating assignments
The average couple has four fights while planning their wedding. 77% of couples said they had at least one. And the biggest thing couples disagree on is the venue.

We recently got a sweet note from Cynthia: “I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 years since my wedding- I have seen and been in a lot of weddings since then and I can 100% say you were by far the best wedding planner I’ve come across. I was so lucky to have worked with you!”
