The 3 wedding planner packages and their 2026 rates
Full Package
The WP supports you from A to Z, from the first meeting to the end of the evening. This is the most expensive but most comprehensive package.
What's included:
- Personalized retro-planning (12-18 months)
- Full budget tracking
- Supplier research and selection (their network)
- Accompaniment to supplier appointments
- Logistical coordination (seating plan, timing, transport)
- Administrative management (town hall, banns, contracts)
- General rehearsal the day before
- Full Day-of coordination (arrival for setup, departure after cleanup)
💰 When it's justified
Wedding with 150+ guests, budget of €40,000+, very busy professional couple, destination wedding, or event with complex logistics (2 venues, multi-cultural).
To maintain control over every euro spent, an application like Nupty allows you to track your budget in real time, item by item, with alerts for overspending.
Day-of Coordination
The WP intervenes only in the last month and on the wedding day. You manage all the organization yourself; they take over for the final logistics.
What's included:
- Takeover of the file 3-4 weeks before
- Confirmation contact with all suppliers
- Creation of a minute-by-minute schedule
- General rehearsal the day before
- Full presence on the wedding day (12-16 hours of presence)
- Real-time management of unforeseen events
💡 The best compromise?
This is the preferred package for organized couples. You maintain control for 12 months, and a professional manages the stress of the wedding day. Unbeatable value for money.
Ad Hoc Consultation
A single appointment to unblock a specific point: budget validation, supplier advice, retro-planning verification, problem management.
To compare quotes and track every deposit paid, Nupty integrates a supplier tracker directly connected to your budget.
What's included:
- 1 to 2 hours of consultation (in person or video)
- Analysis of your current situation
- Personalized recommendations
- Sometimes a summary document after the session

Discover Nupty - 89 EURWhen a wedding planner is truly recommended
A full WP is justified in these specific situations:
- Wedding with 150+ guests - Logistics become complex (transport, accommodation, 2 services, multiple suppliers)
- Budget of €50,000+ - At this level, the WP often negotiates discounts that cover their fees
- Destination wedding - Organizing remotely in a region you don't know requires a local network
- Two weddings (civil + religious) - Two events = double logistics, double coordination
- Expat couple - Organizing a wedding in France from abroad is almost impossible without local support
The 4 questions to ask before signing with a WP
- "Do you receive commissions on recommended suppliers?" - If so, their recommendations are not neutral
- "How many weddings do you manage concurrently?" - More than 3-4 at the same time = reduced availability
- "What happens if you're ill on the wedding day?" - Check the replacement clause
- "What is the deposit amount and cancellation conditions?" - Maximum 30% deposit, and clear conditions
Everything a €3,000 WP would give you in writing - for €14.90
Automatic retro-planning, budget with alerts, supplier guides, administrative tasks for the town hall, emergency Plan B options, Day-of checklist. The "written" wedding planner in your pocket.
