Weddings
Your wedding should be as unique as your love story. Whether you need full-service planning from the very first idea, partial planning to fill in the gaps, or day-of coordination to bring it all together, Applause Design & Events is here to guide you through every step, so you can be fully present on your wedding day instead of managing it.
How we can help
Every couple’s needs are different, which is why we offer a few ways to work together:
- Full Service Planning, from vendor selection and budget management to design and day-of execution
- Partial Planning, for couples who have started the process and want expert guidance to finish strong
- Day of Coordination, so your vision comes together flawlessly without you lifting a finger
Because our team also handles graphic design in-house, we can carry your wedding’s colors, theme, and personality into every printed detail, from save the dates and invitations to programs, table numbers, and seating charts. That means your wedding doesn’t just run smoothly, it feels cohesive from the very first invitation to the last dance.
What We Manage
- Vendor research, booking, and coordination
- Budget tracking and timeline management
- Design and décor direction
- Rehearsal and day-of coordination
- On-site management, so you and your family can relax and enjoy the day
