How much does a wedding in the Twin Cities cost?
The 2021 average wedding cost in Minnesota was about $24,528. However, newer numbers show most couples are spending closer to $29,000. It really comes down to the size of your guest list, with a wedding of 100-150 guests costing an average of $31,000.
Who will be my lead planner?
As the owner, I take the lead on the majority of the weddings. I only take on a certain number of weddings to make sure that I can provide a high level of services to each of my couples.
However, if I am not available on your wedding date, I have additional certified wedding planners that I contract with to take the lead on those dates. You can be assured that the planners I work with are certified, professional, and are held to the same high standards that I hold myself. I will also be involved in the process leading up to your wedding, even if I can't be there on the wedding day.
