Our wedding planning services are designed so that you get exactly what you need.
Our mission is to offer unparalleled strategy services that elevate your wedding celebration. We believe in guidance without the guesswork — a guided, expert-first approach for couples who want to be informed decision-makers.
A La Carte, At Your Service.
How to work with us
Every couple’s planning journey looks a little different — and that’s the point.
Our services are designed to meet you with the level of support that fits your needs — whether you're looking for ongoing partnership or focused, strategic guidance. We offer two distinct paths:
Our Hourly Strategy Sessions are for couples seeking clarity, direction, or decision support — without a long-term commitment. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, pressure-testing ideas, or simply need a strategic sounding board, we're here to help — no strings attached.
Our Planning Offerings are comprehensive, high-touch engagements that cover everything from vision and budget to vendor strategy, design, and guest experience. Ideal for couples seeking a true strategic partner and who value a more structured approach to planning.
Hourly Strategy Sessions
Sometimes you don’t need a whole plan — just a trusted voice. That’s where our strategy sessions come in.
-
Start with strategy. Leave with clarity.
These hourly sessions are designed for couples who want smart, personalized guidance without jumping into a longer-term commitment right away. Whether you're just getting started or figuring it out as you go, we’ll help you move forward with clarity, insight, and confidence- exactly when you need it.
You’ll leave with a strategic roadmap — not a to-do list — and a better sense of how to spend your time, energy, and budget well.
Best suited for short-term or situational support, these sessions are ideal when you need smart input, fast.
-
Our strategy sessions are designed to deliver high-impact clarity, tailored to your moment in the planning journey.
Standard sessions are 60 minutes and ideal for focused advisory on specific topics
Select deep-dive sessions (90 minutes) — such as the Groundwork and Gut Check — are crafted for foundational alignment and broader strategic guidance.
Every session includes a follow-up briefing with tailored recommendations and next steps
Flexible booking, no ongoing commitment required
After over four hours of engagement, we’ll decide whether our Retainer Model or one of our offerings may be a more seamless fit for continued support
-

Planning Offerings
Our comprehensive services — available à la carte or in combination — are designed to guide you through the most complex and meaningful parts of wedding planning.
-
For couples seeking alignment and clarity before making big decisions
We'll help you align on what matters most — your shared values, priorities, and the purpose of your wedding — and use that to build a strategic foundation that guides every decision going forward.
-
For couples who want financial clarity and want to spend wisely and with intention.
We bring transparency to wedding costs and help you build a smart, value-aligned investment strategy. Together, we’ll create a live, working budget you can trust and use throughout the process. We'll provide valuable insights, including industry benchmarks and real wedding budgets, and work with you to create a realistic vision of your wedding that aligns with your priorities.
-
For couples building their vendor team and wanting expert eyes on outreach, proposals, and negotiations.
We help you identify, compare, and select the right vendors — reviewing proposals, contracts, and communication along the way. You’ll get expert input on hiring decisions and feel confident every step of the way.
-
For couples with ideas but who need help defining and articulating a cohesive vision.
We’ll help you shape and articulate a cohesive, elevated visual direction. You’ll leave with moodboards, language, and tools to confidently communicate your vision to any vendor or creative partner.
-
For those who want their guests to feel deeply cared for across every moment of the celebration.
We review your weekend plans and identify opportunities to make each moment feel thoughtful, welcoming, and personal. This is about more than logistics — it’s about meaningfully shaping how guests experience your wedding. Together, we can ensure your event reflects the love, appreciation, and atmosphere you wish to convey.
-
For couples who want a steady, strategic partner.
Our Retainer Model offers ongoing, high-touch support — from early visioning to final decisions. You'll have continuous access to a trusted advisor for creative brainstorming, thoughtful problem-solving, and strategic guidance at every turn.
Unlike one-off sessions, this model is designed for long-term partnership — offering continuity, proactive insight, and a deep understanding of your evolving vision and needs.
Not sure what’s right for you?
Many couples begin with Hourly Strategy Sessions, then transition to the Retainer Model as their planning grows more complex — and they want the freedom to get support whenever (and however) they need it.
Our Approach
We treat your wedding like a masterclass in strategic celebration: optimizing for joy, streamlining the process, and ensuring that every detail, from start to finish, is nothing short of exceptional.
Step One
Clarify your needs, priorities, and direction — turning early ideas into a strong foundation.
Step Two
Share what we know — from industry insights to real wedding data — so you can make informed, confident decisions.
Step Three
Shape a strategy — aligning on your vision and outlining how we’ll get there.
Step Four
Translate that strategy into a clear roadmap and actionable plan.
Step Five
Refine the details and deliver clear outputs — so you walk away with tools, not just ideas.
Step Six
Iterate and integrate feedback to hone the final product.
What We Don’t Do
At TWS, clarity is a cornerstone of how we work — and that includes being transparent about what our services do, and don’t, include. Although we are dedicated to the strategic planning and design of your wedding, our services do not extend to onsite event management and coordination. Instead, we serve as your behind-the-scenes partner, ensuring your planning is intentional, informed, and entirely your own. On the day itself, we’ll be rooting for you from afar. We strongly recommend that our couples hire a day-of coordinator to help bring to life the beautiful planning we've worked on together, and we're happy to assist in finding the right person to help realize your vision.
TWS LOVE NOTE
“Kristen is truly unique in her ability to define and execute both needs and wants. She offers a calm and measured voice of reason in making dream wedding days (or weekends) into reality, while at the same time encouraging you to hold onto your vision, no matter how complicated. She’s the most valuable team member you’ll have, outside of your bride and/or groom!”
— Sada S., TWS Bride
