Planning your wedding is one of the most exciting—and overwhelming—times in your life. Whether you’re dreaming of a grand celebration or an intimate affair, the right support can make all the difference. At Gather & Grove Events, we offer three planning packages to meet you where you are in your planning journey: Full-Service Planning, Partial Planning, and Day-of Coordination. But how do you know which one is right for you?
Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
Full-Service Planning
Best for: Couples who want a planner by their side from start to finish.
If you’re newly engaged and not sure where to begin, or you simply don’t have the time (or desire) to manage the hundreds of moving pieces involved in planning a wedding, this is your dream solution.
We’ll handle vendor research and communication, contract management, timeline creation, budget tracking, design direction, and so much more. You’ll stay in the loop without the stress—and actually enjoy the engagement season.
Perfect for you if you:
- Have a busy schedule or high-pressure job
- Want a professionally styled and cohesive event
- Are planning a complex or large-scale wedding
- Prefer expert guidance every step of the way
Partial Planning
Best for: Couples who’ve started planning but need help pulling it all together.
Maybe you’ve booked your venue and a few vendors but realize you’re feeling overwhelmed—or worried you’re forgetting something. Partial Planning gives you strategic support where you need it most.
We’ll step in to refine your plans, fill in the gaps, manage logistics, and bring everything into alignment as the day approaches.
Perfect for you if you:
- Have already booked some key vendors
- Are confident in your design vision but want execution help
- Need guidance finalizing timelines or floor plans
- Want to avoid last-minute stress

Day-of Coordination
Best for: Organized couples who want to hand things off near the finish line.
You’ve done the work—now let us make sure it runs smoothly. Our Day-of Coordination package begins about 4–6 weeks before your wedding. We’ll confirm vendor details, build your timeline, run your rehearsal, and manage the entire wedding day so you can be fully present.
Perfect for you if you:
- Have planned everything yourself and want a pro to take the reins on the big day
- Are confident in your vendor team and design
- Want peace of mind that nothing will fall through the cracks
Still Unsure? Let’s Chat.
Every couple (and wedding) is unique, and sometimes what you think you need shifts once you start planning. If you’re not sure where to start, we’d love to walk you through your options during a free consultation.
At Gather & Grove Events, we’re here to support your vision—whether you need a little help or the whole shebang.
At Gather & Grove Events, we believe every celebration deserves to be as joyful and unique as the people behind it. With a deep love for beautiful details and seamless execution, we’re here to bring your dream event to life — right here in the heart of Central Illinois.
