San Antonio Wedding Planner Services & Pricing Guide for 2025

Understanding the different types of services & packages that local wedding planners offer helps you make the best decision based on your comfort level with planning & design and your budget. Here’s what each service includes and what couples in San Antonio are typically investing:

Full-Service Planning & Design ($7,500-$10,000+)

This is the ultimate white-glove experience where your wedding planner serves as your trusted advisor from engagement to wedding day. Your planner supports venue selection, recommends vendors, manages all vendor relationships & contracts, provides elevated design direction with mood boards and mockups, and takes care of complete coordination including timelines & layouts. Unlike other services where you handle some aspects yourself, full-service planning means your planner supports you through every step of the process. However, this doesn’t mean you lose control of wedding planning aspects. Your planner is your go-to sounding board, but ultimately, you still make decisions that align with your vision.

Best for: Couples who want professional consultation every step of the way and/or don’t have hours each week to devote to wedding planning

Partial Planning ($3,000-$5,000)

Your planner steps in mid-way through your engagement, typically 6-9 months before your wedding to provide professional support when you need it most. This service typically includes attending important vendor meetings, reviewing contracts, being available for planning questions throughout your engagement, plus all the coordination services in those final weeks. You’ll usually select your venue and some major vendors before your planner joins the team, and this service typically doesn’t include design support.

Best for: Couples who have figured out the big picture & design direction, but want professional help with vendor partnerships and ensuring no details fall through the cracks

Design + Management ($5,000-$6,000)

This bundled service combines professional wedding design with coordination or event managementsupport. Your planner works with you early in the process to create custom mood boards, mockups, and decor selections that bring your vision to life. Then they return in those final 4-6 weeks for coordination services including timeline creation, vendor management, and day-of coordination.

Best for: Couples who want elevated design but feel confident finding and managing vendors themselves, while still wanting a stress-free wedding day experience.

Design Services Only ($2,500-$3,500)

A standalone service where your designer meets with you to understand your vision and creates comprehensive mood boards and mockups of your wedding design. This may or may not include suggested vendor recommendations, and you’ll handle all vendor management and coordination yourself.

Best for: Couples who want help created a cohesive wedding design, but feel confident in bringing that vision to life on their own.

Coordination / Event Management ($1,500-$3,000)

Also called Month-of Coordination or Day-of Coordination, your coordinator typically steps in 4-6 weeks before your wedding to help with final details. This includes finalizing your floor plan, creating your day-of timeline, conducting a final venue walk-through, managing day-of vendor communications, coordinating your rehearsal, and providing full day-of coordination to ensure everything runs smoothly. Check out our dedicated article on top day-of wedding coordinators in San Antonio for more coordination specialists and detailed service breakdowns.

Best for: Couples who are confident in planning their wedding, but want professional support to ensure no details are missed on the wedding day.

 

How to Choose the Right Wedding Planning Service

Consider Your Planning & Design Comfort Level: Are you experienced with event planning, or does the thought of coordinating vendors stress you out? Your comfort level with both event planning & event design should guide your decision.

Vendor Management Preferences: Consider how comfortable you are researching vendors, negotiating contracts, and managing multiple communications. Some couples love this process, others find it overwhelming.

Think About Your Timeline: You’ll get the most out of full service planning when you book at the beginning of your engagement, but these expert planners can usually accommodate any wedding planning timeline.

Budget Allocation: The general guideline is to allocate 10-15% of your total wedding budget for planning services, but this should be a reflection of your personal priorities. If professional support is important to you, it’s okay to allocate more. If you’d prefer to invest more in other areas, maybe you should consider a lower level planning service.
