Wedding Planner Costs?

Has anyone priced or used Wedding Planners?  What were the costs you found for Day of, Month of, and Full Service?  Do you feel like you got your money's worth?  I'm specifically wondering about the Hampton Roads area, but all info is welcome!

Thanks!Smile

    When we were doing our planning (for a Va Beach wedding), we met with 3 different planners, all with a WIDE range of costs and services.  In this area, you might expect to pay $500 for day/weekend-of coordination up to $5,000 for full service. 
    I was a very  hands-on bride and did most of my own hunting for vendors and made a lot of my own decor/paper products, with really helpful input from my day-of coordinator by email or phone.  She did all of the set-up coordination on the day of the wedding and everything went so smoothly.  I would highly recommend her!  Her name is Heather and she can be reached at stylemadesimple@yahoo.com.  You can check out her work in my bio and email me at sunflower1998@cox.net if you have questions.

    Good luck with your planning!!

    I have not priced planners yet and I am in the same boat. If you are willing to travel to the Richmond, VA area there is a bridal seminar entitled "An Engagement" that talks about planners, budget and basically help you in the right direction for planning your wedding. The event info is here: www.weddingoverdose.com

    Hope this helps!

    Her name is June Yuiska out of Williamsburg.  I talked to her in May and she ranged anywhere from around $800 for day-or and her highest price was $2000.  She is on Facebook if you want to contact her.

    A great event planner in your area who is reasonable is Kiesha Whitfield of Soiree.  You can view her website at http://www.theeventdesigners.com/ and some reviews on her here: http://www.weddingwire.com/biz/soiree-the-event-design-specialists-norfolk/036652a33113b9de.html

    Good Luck!
