and cannot wait to get married and celebrate with your friends and family. You know you want some help with the planning and execution of it all (from someone other than your mom, who already has a million things on her plate) but you aren’t entirely sure what you need. Look no further! Here at Philosofi Celebrations, we’re here to help you go from newly engaged to your grand exit.
You and your partner have just gotten engaged...
So you're newly engaged and super eager to marry your best friend! Except that means you actually have to plan this whole wedding, which isn’t really your jam. You work full time and would much rather spend those non-working hours playing with your pups, hanging out with your loved ones, or organizing a community clothing drive than wedding planning. Let me take care of all the dirty details, from finding venues to tour all the way to getting you and your boo down the aisle.
full-service planning
As much as you love weddings, you’re a little bit overwhelmed by the idea of trying to plan one from start to finish. You probably feel pretty confident about some aspects, but you definitely need someone to guide you through the process and some of the tougher aspects of planning a wedding. With partial planning, we have the flexibility to figure out exactly what you need the most help with and customize your service offer. Plus, once the planning is over, I handle those final logistical tasks and take care of the execution of your wedding.
partial planning
You are a planner at heart with the time to do it all! After all of your work planning a kickass day for you and your guests, you want to take a step back and soak up the memories with your loved ones. Your mom and best friends are amazing, but you want them sipping mimosas in the morning and joining you on the dance floor in the evening, not taking care of vendors and making sure dinner gets served on time. Allow me to take care of the execution of your wedding, including all the messy logistics in the weeks prior, so that you, and your loved ones can relax and enjoy!

SERVICES BEGIN AT 1850
It’s your wedding day! While you, your boo, and your loved ones are dining and dancing, we’re behind the scenes setting up, leading the vendor team, and making sure the whole day runs according to plan.

This is where the magic happens, though it looks different depending on which service you book. For Full-Service couples, I’m with you every step of the way, beginning with choosing a venue and nailing down a date. For Wedding Management couples, I’ll touch base with you throughout the planning process, but the bulk of our work together happens in the final weeks leading up to your wedding day.

Woohoo! Once you’ve signed a contract and paid the retainer, you’re officially a Philosofi couple! All services start with a Planning Kickoff Meeting, where we go over all of your wedding details so far, get you acquainted with our planning software, and make sure your to-do list is ready to go.

After you reach out, we’ll hop on a phone call to talk all about your wedding. I want to learn all about you, your boo, your plans so far, and what makes you most excited (and most nervous) about your big day. You get to ask me all the questions you have and see if I’m a good fit for you. If we vibe, I’ll send over a contract and invoice!

the process
- I’m a big advocate for self care. Wedding planning can be stressful, so don’t be shocked when I’m checking in on you about your well being instead of just your to-do list.
- I don’t believe in sticking to tradition just because. I want your wedding to be a reflection of the two of you and your love story, tradition or not.
- I’m a team player! When working with your vendors, collaboration and mutual respect is huge to me. From crafting the timeline to getting everyone broken down and out of the venue at the end of the night, I work alongside your vendors rather than just directing them.
Meet the Planner
“We had the luck of having Sofi as our coordinator for our June 2022 wedding. Our wedding was perfectly amazing because of her. She was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and really took our wishes to heart. It’s difficult to leave the details to someone else day of, but we could not have been in better hands. Walking into our venue for the reception was overwhelming in the best way. Everything was exactly how I pictured thanks to Sofi’s coordination of our incredible vendors. I would absolutely recommend Sofi and her team to anyone! We are so thankful that she was with us every step of the way.”
