Thank you so much for considering The Busy Mom’s Kitchen & Events! I absolutely love weddings and I strive to make your big day as easy and seamless as possible. This way you can enjoy all your hard work & focus on each other.
All coordination inquiries start with a 15 minute phone call to go over your specific needs. During this phone call we will also discuss the booking process, payment options and contract details.
All events are secured with a 20% retainer & a signed contract. This is a very important part because it protects all parties involved as it outlines every last detail!
All events are subject to Tax + Delivery as well as a Setup and Tear down fee. These fees with be outlines in detail on your formal estimate.

I’ve recently had a few people ask me to explain why I charge what I do for coordination. My very straightforward answer is that I put so much time, love, energy, and physical work into every wedding I do- I charge my “proven” worth.
I only do 2-4 weddings a month and this allows me to be fully invested in YOUR event, YOUR set up details, YOUR personal items, and anything else needed for YOUR specific wedding. Get the idea? It’s all about YOU.
I offer complimentary phone consultations so that we have a chance to chat and see if we will be a good fit. So much trust goes into coordinating that both parties should feel comfortable and confident before a contract is signed.
I don’t work for your venue, so I don’t worry only about venue specific things like an on-site DJ or tables being out BUT I make sure your vision is aesthetically correct and gorgeous.
I see a lot of other coordinators state they only do up to 8 hours and don’t do any physical setup. I setup all your personal items and pack them up at the end of the night. I make sure everyone is safely on their way before I leave. I don’t have any time limits on the day off and I offer unlimited communication/advice/therapy sessions/family management/laughs from the time you sign my contract until days after the event.
On rehearsal day, I don’t just line everyone up so they know where they are going. We sit and go over details, I meet family members, let the flower girl or ring bearer become comfortable with me, I take personal items and keep them for setup. Seating charts, candles, escort cards etc will come with me to the venue and be setup by me.
I take the time to really get to know my couple (and their families!) prior to the wedding so that you can be assured I completely understand your vision and can execute it as if you were doing it yourself. This allows you to relax the night before and truly enjoy the ENTIRE wedding day.
To my past brides, thank you for trusting me to run your big day. To future brides, I can’t wait to work with you!
