- 3Vendor relationships in the Bay Area - they should be able to recommend several options in every category.
- 4Strong organizational systems: shared timelines, vendor contact sheets, run-of-show docs.

- 6Personality fit. You’re going to spend a lot of time with this person over many months.

Wedding Planners in San Francisco - FAQ
Do I really need a wedding planner?
For weddings over 75 guests or anything multi-day, yes. The Bay Area’s vendor market is complex, venues have specific requirements, and timelines fall apart without a coordinator. Even couples who initially "just want day-of help" often upgrade to partial planning by month 6.
What’s the difference between day-of, partial, and full-service planning?
Day-of (now better called "month-of coordination") starts 4-6 weeks out and is mostly logistics. Partial planning includes vendor recommendations, budget oversight, and design support starting around 6 months out. Full-service is end-to-end from venue selection through send-off, including budget, design, vendor management, and on-site execution.
How much do Bay Area planners cost in 2026?
Day-of coordination: $2,500-$4,500. Partial planning: $4,500-$9,000. Full-service: $9,000-$25,000+. Some luxury planners charge a percentage of total wedding budget (commonly 12-18%) instead of a flat fee.
