Planning & Coordination

Wedding Planning & Coordination

The best sign of good planning is that the couple never sees the scramble behind it. We give you one steady person to ask, one timeline for the whole team, and clear next steps as the wedding gets closer. For coordination, we step in during the final weeks, confirm the vendors, clean up the timeline, collect the loose ends, and run the ceremony and reception on site. Full planning starts earlier and adds venue and vendor help, budget tracking, and someone keeping the whole job moving. Your coordinator has Apogee's full event team behind them, so problems are handled quietly and you still feel like you are at your own wedding.

What your coordinator actually does

Day-of coordination is $2,445. Full planning, from engagement to the last dance, is $5,445.

Vendor wrangling, 4 to 6 weeks out

We contact your caterer, florist, venue, and officiant, confirm every detail, and build one timeline everyone works from.

A timeline that actually holds

When Apogee also runs your DJ, photography, or photo booth, there are no vendor gaps. Your team already knows each other and works from the same sheet.

Ceremony and reception direction

Processional lineup, ceremony cues, grand entrance, toasts, cake, send-off. Every transition called on time.

On site all day

From venue setup through the last dance. You will not field a single vendor question on your wedding day.

Problems you never hear about

A vendor running late, a missing boutonniere, or a slipping timeline should never become the couple's job. Your coordinator solves it quietly, with Apogee's event team ready behind them.

Full planning adds the rest

Venue sourcing, vendor picks from our Oregon network, budget tracking, and step-by-step planning from the day you book.

Day-of coordination or full planning?

Both put one person in charge on your wedding day. The difference is when we start and how much of the planning we carry. Not sure yet? Book a free one-hour consult, in person at our Aumsville office or by video.

What clients say

“Highly recommend working with Apogee. We are very busy and had little time or energy, but wanted the wedding of our dreams. They made it happen with little help from us. They offer all the services you may need.”

Wedding couple — via WeddingWire
“Having worked on many events with Apogee Events, I can say that their performance is top of the line. The staff is professional, easy to work with, and present great ideas for room design, music selection, and Emcee services. Their photo booths are easy to use and produce excellent quality photos, videos, and memories.”

What happens next

Choose the amount of help you actually need

Coordination and full planning solve different problems. We define the handoff early so nobody thinks someone else is handling the work.

  1. Choose coordination or full planning

    We learn what is already booked, what is still open, and whether you need a final-month handoff or help from the start.

  2. Put every vendor in one plan

    Contracts, contacts, load-in needs, payments, ceremony details, and open questions are gathered in one working file.

  3. Build the real timeline

    We place setup, photos, transportation, dinner, speeches, dances, and vendor needs into a schedule people can follow.

  4. Confirm the team

    We contact vendors, lead the final walkthrough and the rehearsal, and close the gaps before the wedding.

  5. Run the day

    Your coordinator handles arrivals, cues, questions, changes, and the quiet problems you should not have to see.

Wedding Planning & Coordination questions, answered

How much does a wedding coordinator cost in Oregon?
Apogee day-of coordination is $2,445. Start-to-finish planning, from venue sourcing through the wedding day itself, is $5,445. Both include full on-site management on your wedding day.
What is the difference between day-of coordination and full planning?
Day-of means you plan the wedding and we run it. We step in 4 to 6 weeks before, confirm every vendor, build the timeline, direct the rehearsal, and run the day. Full planning means we are in from the start: venue sourcing, vendor picks, budget tracking, and every step after that.
Does full planning include everything in day-of coordination?
Yes. Start-to-finish planning includes all of day-of coordination, plus venue sourcing, vendor recommendations, budget tracking, and step-by-step planning from the day you book.
What if we need more of your time?
Day-of coordination includes up to 20 hours of our time, and start-to-finish planning includes up to 40. If your wedding needs more than that, extra time is $100 an hour.
Do you work with vendors we already booked?
Yes. We work with any vendors you have already chosen. With start-to-finish planning, we also recommend vendors from our Oregon network for anything you have not booked yet.
How far in advance should we book a wedding planner?
Day-of coordination books 9 to 12 months out for prime Oregon dates. Full planning clients usually book 12 to 18 months ahead. We take last-minute weddings when the calendar allows, so ask either way.
Can we add coordination after booking Apogee for DJ or photo booth?
Yes, couples do it all the time. Since we are already on your team, there is no awkward introduction period. Your coordinator, DJ, and photographer share one timeline from day one.
Can we meet before we book?
Yes. Book a free one-hour consult, in person at our Aumsville office or by video. Meetings run Monday through Friday, with start times from 10 AM to 5 PM. We will look at what you have booked so far and tell you which level of help fits.
