Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered with heart & clarity

because peace of mind should be part of every love story.

Planning a wedding comes with plenty of questions, and I believe you deserve answers that bring clarity, not confusion.
Therefore, below, you’ll find responses to some of the most common questions couples ask about working with Storied Wedding Design Co.

Most couples reach out 8–12 months before their wedding, but I also love working with those planning shorter engagements or intimate celebrations. The earlier we begin, the more intentional we can be with design, vendors, and storytelling — but ideally three months in advance of your wedding will allow us to create something beautiful together.

Each package is rooted in story-driven design and intentional planning, but the level of support depends on where you are in your journey.

The Short Story Experience is perfect for smaller, more intimate weddings, or those who only desire design services.

The Storied Wedding Experience blends design with hands-on coordination.

The Complete Story Experience provides full-scale planning and creative direction from start to finish.

Whichever you choose, the focus always remains the same — creating a wedding that feels like you.

Absolutely. My role isn’t to change your vision, but to help you bring it to life with clarity and intention. Together, we’ll refine the details, align your design with your venue, and ensure your story shines through in every moment.

Of course. Many couples come to me after booking their venue or a few vendors, and once they realize they want guidance bringing everything together. Whether you need design support, timeline structure, or help managing logistics, I’ll meet you right where you are.

You’re welcome to choose your own vendors! I love collaborating with talented professionals throughout the Ohio Valley and beyond, therefore, I’ll provide curated recommendations based on your style and budget, and for full or partial planning packages. However, the decision is ultimately yours to make.

Yes! While most of my weddings take place in the Wheeling, WV and St. Clairsville, OH area, I’m happy to travel within the Upper Ohio Valley area for celebrations that align with my story-driven approach.

If you’re outside of the area, be sure to check out the Short Story Wedding Experience for design services-only, that can be provided remotely.

Design is about how your wedding feels & looks— the colors, textures, and overall atmosphere that tell your story.

Coordination ensures that everything about your day flows— timelines, vendor communication, and logistics that allow you to be fully present.

Together, design and coordination create a seamless experience from vision to reality.

I often work with faith-based couples who value family, meaning, and intention, but every story is welcome here. Whether your celebration is traditional, boho, rustic, or romantic, my goal is to design a day that reflects your love with beauty and authenticity.

Story-driven design means that every design choice is rooted in you and your story. From your desired color palette to your favorite music to the way you welcome guests, everything connects back to your story, values, and relationship. When design is guided by meaning, not trends, the result feels effortlessly personal.

Yes! These services can be added as “Extra Chapters.” Rehearsal coordination provides clarity and calm before the big day, while cleanup ensures you can end your celebration without stress. Both are designed to give you peace of mind and a seamless experience.

Yes! Every inquiry begins with a complimentary discovery call. This gives us time to connect, talk through your story, and ensure that we’re the right fit.
No pressure, just an open conversation.

During your consultation, we’ll talk through your vision, guest count, and planning needs. Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy micro-wedding, design-only services, or a full-scale celebration, I’ll guide you toward the experience that fits your story best — no pressure, just thoughtful guidance.

You’ll receive a response within 24 business hours (Monday through Friday).
I believe every story deserves attention, so each inquiry is read carefully and personally. No automated replies here.

I’ll reach out to schedule a discovery call so we can connect and discuss your vision, budget, and story.
If we both feel like it’s a good fit, I’ll send over a customized proposal outlining the next steps & service options.
