For the event or wedding client who needs more than just day-of coordination, but who is comfortable doing some of the legwork. Popular versions of this package include a "kick-off" consultation to determine budget, ideal venues, and vendor list. Client is provided with a planning checklist and calendar of due dates; client then manages event on own during the "middle" phase of planning. Planner and client meet again in the final months for month-of and day-of coordination. May also include several aspects of full planning on an a la carte basis; customized packages available on request.
