The Signature Details · Planning & coordination
Full-service planning, partial planning and month-of coordination for eastern Virginia weddings. We build the timeline, manage your vendors, run the rehearsal and quietly solve the things you were never meant to notice.
The premise
By the time the day arrives you have made several hundred decisions. What you need is not another opinion — it is someone whose entire job is making sure the decisions you already made actually happen, on time, in the right order.
Part of that job is knowing the questions to ask that you would never think of unless you plan weddings and events every weekend — who is unlocking the building, where the caterer plugs in, who takes the leftover cake home, what happens to the gifts at midnight. Those are the answers that decide whether a day feels effortless or improvised.
A conversation about the day you want, the family dynamics you are working around, and where you are already stuck. We are honest about which package you actually need.
The timeline. Vendor confirmations, arrival windows, delivery slots, meal times, formalities, sunset, exit. Everyone gets the same document and everyone gets it early.
Processional order, pacing, positions, readers, ushers and the moment nobody ever rehearses: what to do once you reach the end of the aisle.
On site from load-in. We direct the setup, keep the timeline, absorb the problems and hand you a day that runs itself.
How we work
Every couple arrives at a different point. These are starting shapes, not fixed boxes — the scope is written to your day. Even our smallest package begins 90 days before the wedding, because nobody can learn everything they need to know, close out the remaining decisions and build a timeline that actually holds in under thirty days. We would rather start early than hand you a day that was assembled in a hurry.
Starts at$7,995
For couples who want a planner from the beginning. Budget structure, vendor sourcing and contracts, design direction, guest logistics and decision deadlines all the way through to complete management of the day — one person accountable from engagement to last dance.
Starts at$3,995
For couples who want a professional walking them through the planning from the day they sign the contract. You do not have to be stuck to want that. We come in with vendor recommendations, budget structure, design direction and decision deadlines, then carry it through to full on-site management of the wedding day.
Starts at$2,495
For couples who have booked everything and want a professional to take it from here. We begin 90 days out: vendor handover, full timeline build, rehearsal direction and complete on-site management.
Credentials
Planning at The Signature Details is led by a Certified Professional Wedding Planner, credentialed through Wedding MBA. That means the person building your timeline has been trained on the unglamorous half of the job — contracts, vendor management, liability, logistics and contingency planning — not just the part that photographs well.
Fully licensed and insured, with certificates provided to your venue on request.
On the day
Directing setup against a floor plan. Meeting the florist at the loading door. Checking the ceremony chair count. Confirming the caterer’s meal timing against the toasts. Pinning boutonnieres. Finding the marriage license. Holding the rings.
Also: quietly rewriting the timeline when the photographer runs long, and telling exactly three people about it.
The details
Welcome tables and signage. Escort cards and seating charts. Memory tables for the people who could not be there. Favor setups. Guest book stations. Candles lit just before the doors open. The place cards nobody wants to be laying out the night before their own wedding.
We place them, straighten them, light them properly and take them down again at the end of the night.

Common questions
We take a limited number of weddings per season so that nobody is sharing their coordinator. Reach out early.
