jo Wedding planner prices can vary significantly depending on the level of service, your wedding location, and the planner’s experience. For many couples, hiring a wedding planner is one of the most valuable investments they can make—saving time, reducing stress, and ensuring a professionally planned, beautifully executed celebration.
At One Curious Dream, we offer a range of wedding planning services to suit your needs, budget, and vision. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a large-scale multi-day wedding, understanding how pricing works—and what’s included—can help you make the right decision for your big day.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but several key factors influence how much a wedding planner charges:
Scope of Service: Are you booking full-service planning, partial planning, or on-the-day coordination? The more comprehensive the support, the higher the investment.
Wedding Complexity: A multi-day celebration or a wedding at multiple venues requires more hours and coordination than a single-day event.
Guest Numbers: A 30-person micro-wedding requires a different level of planning than a 200-guest extravaganza.
Location: Wedding planner prices in London and the South East tend to be higher than in rural areas due to cost of living, travel, and supplier pricing.
Planner Experience: As with any service, a highly experienced planner with a strong portfolio and awards will usually charge more than someone just starting out.
To give you a general idea:
Full-Service Wedding Planning: Typically ranges from 10%–15% of your total wedding budget, with a minimum fee often starting around £5,000–£6,000. This covers everything from venue sourcing to supplier management, styling, guest logistics, and on-the-day coordination.
Partial Planning: Ideal if you’ve already secured some elements but need help pulling everything together. Prices generally start from £3,500.
On-the-Day Coordination: For couples who’ve planned everything but want a professional to manage the day itself. Prices typically start from £950–£2,500 depending on the wedding size and complexity.
At One Curious Dream, we tailor our fees based on your specific requirements, always offering transparent pricing and exceptional value for money.
