There is a reason why most wedding and event coordinators do not post their prices... it's called sticker shock. Here at Creative Elegance we believe that all brides should have the option of being able to afford a wedding planner and that is why we offer such competitive pricing. For our packages we charge a set rate based on the work we do, not on how much you spend on your wedding, nor by how many guests you will have. Our work is the same regardless of these.  We have listed our standard packages below, however, we can customize any package to fit your planning needs.
