the

the initial rx session

It all starts here. The first RX session is designed for us to get to know each other and for The Union Studio to gather all pertinent information about what you've done already, haven't done, and what you want to do. This is also a time to review Pinterest boards, color palettes, likes and dislikes and wishes and dreams. We will collect, discuss and review and We’ll leave this session with all the tools we need to begin your planning process!

Wedding Design, event treatment & Inspiration Board

see an example of our Event Treatment & Inspiration Board here 

Aisle Planner is the essential tool we use to plan your wedding and keep in contact during this time. Within Aisle Planner we communicate, design your timeline, build your event design, maintain your floorplan and seating assignments and keep track of your vendors, their contracts and payment details. 

Full Aisle Planner Access & Account

Your full planning wedding package includes total event design. We use the integral tools of the Event treatment and Inspiration board to help convey the vision to your vendors. The purpose of the treatment and inspiration board is to help potential and secured vendors understand not only the logistics but the look, flow and feel of your event. It’s a written narrative that not only contains precise logistical information that your vendors need to properly quote you, but also has your desired event flow and feel written out thoroughly and concisely.

vendor sourcing

As an exclusive service to our full wedding planning clients, The Union Studio, in a timely fashion and with a sense of urgency, will be responsible for presenting you qualified and well-vetted options for all vendors. These vendors will be appropriate to your vision, design and budget. The Union Studio will already have contacted each vendor, ensured availability and when possible, received a quote that is particular to your event. Once a vendor is selected, The Union Studio will then lead you through the contract process, from overseeing contract and proposal edits through to counter execution.

Vendors to be sourced include but not necessarily limited to:

venue • ceremony venue • catering • cake • rentals • photography • videography • entertainment • celebrant/officiant • florals/décor • transportation • stationery • favors • hotel room blocking • beauty • website vendor • insurance • day labor • tenting & related logistics

Generally not included, but can be added with additional fee: dress/fashion sourcing and fitting attendance • jewelry • marriage license and legal • website design • website copy, upkeep and management

personalized planning support

From the beginning of your relationship with The Union Studio until your wedding weekend, you have the option to meet bi-weekly via video with your personal wedding planner, weekly email updates and action item execution and management. You will feel entirely taken care of and represented with this planning support. Wedding planning is our full time job, not yours!

Additionally, The Union Studio will be the main point of communication for all vendors – making sure due dates are met, payments are compliant and that the vendor team is fully informed. Items also managed are tasks such as your invite process and RSVP management, plans for favors and day of needs and timeline upkeep.

timeline design filterable for all vendors

With the first draft designed as soon as possible after our Client-Planner relationship begins and constantly updated throughout the planning process, The Union Studio designs the entire “master timeline” for your wedding weekend. Beginning with items such as “hotel check-in” on Thursday all the way through your post nuptial brunch on Sunday. As your planning team, The Union Studio will circulate and confirm your final timeline with all vendors and VIP’s.

day-of coordination

We do whatever it takes to make the day absolutely flawless. Responsibilities that are usually necessary for DOC include but are not limited to vendor check-in and orientation, first look management, décor set up, guest greeting and interaction. It is the day of coordinator’s responsibility to move the evening from major moment to major moment from start to finish including ceremony flow, toasts and speeches, first dance –all the way through to waving goodbye to the newlyweds. It is also the DOC’s responsibility to assist in all décor breakdown and the collection of belongings for the couple so that they may go enjoy their after party!

important to note

The possible scope of work involved with The Full Planning Experience varies greatly with each individual wedding The Union Studio produces. Using our experience in the industry we’ve found the best and most fair way to price our services is with a base investment to cover our costs of providing you a service plus an additional percentage based price determined by the type of event that is being hosted.

The base investment for a full planning package is $12,500.00. The additional percentage based price is computed on the sum of all contract totals that The Union Studio coordinates during the planning process i.e the total budget of the event. Items that are NOT counted into the total budget are: The base investment of $12,500, any religious related costs, fashion, legal, rings and website.

Depending on the needs and scope of your event, there may be a need to add some a la carte services to your package.


percentage pricing structure

A 3% total budget fee applied to all hotel weddings or catering facilities where a venue coordinator is available during the planning process and on the day of.

A 4% total budget fee applied to all warehouse spaces, barns or similar where an existing structure, electricity and plumbing is already in place.

A 5% total budget fee for all ground up build outs and tented events even if hosted on a property that has access to minimal electricity. Any event requiring a permit application such as a TPA, building permit or liquor license application that The Union Studio is essential in obtaining ( i.e. if catering team is not assuming these responsibilities) is also subject to the 5% total budget fee.

the initial rx session

Booked within the first month after signing a contract, the first RX session is mainly for us to get to know each other and for The Union Studio to gather all pertinent information about what you've done already, haven't done, and what you want to do. We look at vendors that have been hired, do a thorough review of their contracts and also make recommendations for vendors that you still need. This is also a time to review Pinterest boards, color palettes, likes and dislikes and wishes and dreams. We will collect, discuss and review in detail the planning items that have already taken place and then develop the "RX" or plan on how to move forward with the planning process. Any red flags will be identified, priorities set, and a course of action set into motion!

An integral tool, the wedding Inspiration board helps to convey your vision to your vendors. It communicates the the look, flow and feel of your event.
