The Signature STEP Planning Experience
A look inside the signature client experience and wedding planning timeline..
Phase 1
Budget & Vendor Team
The first phase of planning is establishing a clear and concise budget. Once the overall budget is settled, the next step is to select your vendor team. You will then receive a detailed budget breakdown, accessible through our online planning portal, outlining each vendor payment to keep everything on track.
Phase 2
Design & Vision
It’s time for creativity and everything pretty!
Together, we’ll dive deep into your vision, collaborating closely with all your wedding professionals to refine the overall aesthetic, look, and feel of your special day and bring your ideas to life!.
STEP will then curate a personalized online style guide for you, complete with a unique color palette and a collection of your favorite inspiration images.
During this phase, we’ll also source key elements such as your florist, event rentals, hair and makeup team, and wedding cake, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision.
Our goal is for you to enjoy your celebration while everything falls into place as planned.
Phase 3

Client Testimonials
“Christina is everything that you would ever need or want from a wedding planner..”
… from the first meeting together it was clear she was very organized and experienced while also being very personable. She was always easy to contact when questions or concerns came up and always had a quick response / solution. Christina truly made our planning process as stress free as possible. We could not have asked for a smoother wedding day and it is all thanks to Christina and her team. We could not recommend her enough!
– Nick D
“Without Christina we wouldn’t have been able to truly enjoy our wedding day.”
We would have been stressed about the details and not present in the moment. She handled everything; she talked with our vendors a month before hand, gave them handouts, met with them, etc. I can’t recommend Christina for your wedding enough. Not only is she amazing at her job but she’s the absolute sweetest and just a joy to be around. When planning your wedding you NEED someone like Christina. Hire Christina so you can enjoy your special day! She’s the BEST
– Jillian C
“It was magical! You can tell in a second that this is her passion!”
Christina helped out with the day-of coordinations and planning for my reception day. It was magical! You can tell in a second that this is her passion! She thought of things I’d never think of that were necessary for the big day; and she made sure everything went smoothly. She did all of this with a smile on her face! Highly recommend
– Charlotte K.
“Very professional and wonderful to work with!”
My wedding had an unexpected flash flood that required moving to another venue mid-reception. Christina was amazing in helping us get everything (food, décor, DJ booth… EVERYTHING!) moved to the new place in a timely fashion so the party could keep going. If STEP can handle that, they can handle anything! Highly recommend.
