The earlier, the better. Bringing a planner in early allows for stronger vendor selection, a more cohesive design, and a smoother planning process overall. That said, we can step in at any stage and bring clarity and structure to your plans.

A venue coordinator works for the venue. Their main responsibility is managing the property’s staff, food and beverage service, and making sure the venue’s policies are followed. Their focus is on the venue itself.

A wedding coordinator works for you. We oversee your full event, including your timeline, vendors, décor setup, and logistics that extend beyond the venue. While the venue coordinator ensures the property runs smoothly, your wedding coordinator ensures the entire day flows seamlessly according to your vision.

We’re happy to recommend trusted vendors we love, but we’re also open to working with your preferred team. As long as they’re legit and communicative.

Yes. We help build and manage a realistic budget based on your priorities, and keep you aware of potential hidden costs that couples often overlook.

Short answer: No, but we can get you the best version of your vision within it.
Budgets are real boundaries, not magic wands. While we can't deliver luxury everything on a shoestring, we can help you prioritize what matters most, avoid wasteful spending, and stretch your budget creatively. Think quality over quantity and smart swaps that still give you the vibe you want

What sets us apart is our versatility. We combine strategic planning with refined design to create weddings that are both seamless and visually stunning. We adapt to every couple’s style and story to create experiences that feel effortless, elevated and authentic.

Yes! We offer planning for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and post-wedding brunches as add-ons.

We dress in professional, all-black attire that is polished yet comfortable enough to keep us moving all day. This ensures we blend seamlessly with your event while staying discreet in photos and behind the scenes. If your wedding has a specific theme or attire request, we’re happy to adjust so our presence complements your vision.

We believe pricing should be transparent, never a guessing game. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through our services and afterward provide your complete investment guide, so you have everything on hand to review with confidence.

Absolutely not. Teardrop Wedding Events is a planning and coordination company. We do not provide waitstaff, catering, or bussing services. Our role is to manage the flow of the event, oversee vendors, and make sure the wedding runs smoothly, not to perform catering or janitorial tasks.

Wedding management is a more accurate term for what many call day of coordination. It includes final phase planning, vendor confirmations, timeline control, and full wedding day oversight, not just showing up on the day itself.

We offer full service planning, partial planning, and wedding management. Each service is designed to meet you where you are in the planning process, whether you’re looking for full guidance or support in the final weeks leading into your wedding.

Wedding management is designed for couples who have planned their wedding but want professional oversight leading into the day. We typically begin about six weeks prior, finalize your timeline, confirm vendor details, and ensure everything is aligned so your wedding day runs seamlessly.

I lead the planning process and, in most cases, also lead the wedding day. As we continue to grow, a trained lead coordinator from our team may support or lead select weddings. Regardless, every wedding is executed to the same standard, and you will always know who is leading your day in advance.

We maintain clear and consistent communication through scheduled planning calls, email support, and a dedicated client portal. Your portal keeps everything organized in one place, including timelines, documents, and key details, so the process always feels clear and structured.

We are happy to work with your selected vendors or guide you toward our trusted vendor list. While we offer recommendations, you are never required to use them. We will work with any vendor that aligns with your vision, budget, and aesthetic, ensuring your entire team is aligned and working seamlessly together.

For full service and partial planning clients, we take on one wedding per day to ensure a focused, high-touch experience. For wedding management, we may support multiple weddings when appropriate, with each event assigned a dedicated lead coordinator and team.

A signed agreement and a 30% retainer are required to officially secure your date. From there, we begin guiding you through the planning process with a clear and structured approach.
