The Easiest Yes: What It’s Like to Book Your Wedding Coordinator with Northwoods Event Services
Planning a wedding is full of big decisions—but this one should be easy.
From your very first inquiry to the moment we lock in your date, the Northwoods booking process is designed to be simple, friendly, and low-pressure. No confusing steps, no ghosting, and absolutely no overwhelm.
This isn’t just another wedding vendor transaction—it’s the start of a relationship.
One that feels like working with a seasoned pro and a trusted friend who’s got your back the whole way.
Here’s exactly what to expect when you book with Northwoods Event Services—because saying “yes” to a calm, organized wedding day should be the easiest decision you make.
Step 1: Reach Out
Head over to my contact form and tell me a little about your day!
You don’t need to have everything figured out—just your names, wedding date (if you know it), and a few details about what you’re dreaming of.
This is your chance to share the vibe you're going for—cozy cabin ceremony? Elegant lakeside celebration? Backyard bash with your favorite people?
The more I know about your priorities, the better I can serve you.
After you hit submit, here’s what happens next:
I’ll personally respond within 24–48 hours. No automated replies, no crickets.
If I’m available for your date and location, I’ll send over a few package options based on what you shared.
If I’m already booked, I’ll still help by referring you to someone I trust.
I treat every inquiry with the attention it deserves, and I never book more than I can personally handle—so if we’re a match, you’ll know it right away.
Step 2: Let’s Chat
Next, we’ll hop on a complimentary consultation call—totally casual, no pressure.
This is a chance for you to:
Ask all your questions (seriously, nothing is off limits)
See how I work and what it’s like to have a coordinator in your corner
Talk through your concerns, vision, and priorities
Get a better feel for who I am and how I show up for your wedding
And for me to:
Get a sense of how I can best support you
Recommend the right package (or custom combo) for your unique day
Share real examples of how I’ve helped other couples calm the chaos and enjoy every moment
You don’t need to bring anything fancy to this call. Just show up as you are. I’ll walk you through the rest.
Step 3: Pick Your Package
Whether you’re planning a cozy micro-wedding or a full-blown celebration, I’ve got options designed to fit where you’re at—and where you want to be.
✨ Cedar Package (Partial Planning - 8 hours on-site)
Perfect for intimate weddings, elopements, or couples who’ve got most of it handled and just need someone to bring it all together.
✨ Aspen Package (Partial Planning - 10 hours on-site)
Ideal for bigger weddings, multiple locations, or if you want someone by your side from setup through send-off.
✨ Add-On Hours
Need a little more support? You can always tack on extra hours so we’re not watching the clock on your wedding day.
✨ Virtual Services
Planning from afar or just want help behind the scenes? I offer planning support that fits your life and your location.
✨ Rent My Brain
Not sure where to start? Book a one-hour strategy session to talk through vendors, timeline, family dynamics, or anything else weighing on you. I’ll give you honest guidance—no strings attached.
Each service is built around flexibility, care, and real-life wedding needs—no fluff, no upselling, just exactly what you need.
Step 4: Lock It In
Once you’re ready, booking is easy. Like, two-clicks-and-you’re-done easy.
Here’s how it works:
I’ll send over your custom contract, and invoice.
You’ll be able to review everything clearly—no fine print, no hidden fees.
A non-refundable retainer secures your date (and ensures I’m all yours).
Once signed and paid, you're officially on my calendar!
You'll get a confirmation email with your receipt and next steps—and you can finally check “book a coordinator” off your list.
What Happens After You Book
The moment your contract is signed, I get to work behind the scenes so you're never left wondering what’s next.
All wedding coordination couples will receive access to:
A welcome guide that outlines what to expect, coordination timeline, and key dates
Planning questionnaires so I can get to know you and your vision better
Monthly check-ins or scheduled meetings (for partial planning clients)
A personalized digital planning workbook built just for your wedding.
A shared space for timeline, contacts, and logistics so everyone is on the same page
But more than that—you get a calm, clear point of contact you can turn to whenever things feel stressful.
Need to ask if your venue has enough power for your DJ?
Want help explaining to your aunt that no, she cannot wear white?
Wondering if your ceremony will flow better with or without a first look?
That’s where I come in. Your vendor guide, timeline nerd, and pep talk provider—all in one.
