About this example
This example is the proposal a wedding planner sends a couple planning a vineyard wedding for 120 guests in Sonoma. It offers full planning over nine months, design and styling, vendor sourcing and contract review, rehearsal coordination and a twelve-hour wedding day with a lead planner and two assistants.
Couples hire a planner to stay on budget and enjoy their day, so this proposal is built around both. A cover letter restates what the couple want and what worries them, and a vendor budget shows how a $95,000 wedding divides between venue, catering, photography and the rest, with the planner's fixed fee and a contingency on the same table. A nine-month plan, first design ideas and a draft wedding-day timeline timed to golden hour show how the day comes together. Three packages, a fixed fee with no vendor commissions, a payment schedule and terms on dates, postponement and guest count complete it.
Who it is for
Wedding and event planners, coordinators and venues who sell planning packages and want couples to see the whole budget, not just the fee.
