FAQ

I see that you are a wedding designer. How is that different from a traditional wedding planner?

Many wedding planners focus on logistics — timelines, contracts, budgets, and vendor coordination — with design offered as supporting guidance.

At Kogan Events, design leads the process.

We approach weddings through the lens of creative direction, shaping the overall experience before individual decisions are made. Rather than styling isolated elements, we consider how every visual moment connects — from attire and florals to lighting, layout, tablescapes, and the flow of the evening itself.

The result is a wedding that feels cohesive and intentional, where every detail supports a clear point of view instead of competing for attention.

Do we still need a wedding planner or coordinator?

Yes - and we highly recommend it.

While we lead the creative direction and visual experience of your wedding, coordination and logistics are essential to ensure everything runs smoothly. We collaborate closely with trusted planners and coordinators who specialize in timelines, vendor management, and day-of execution.

If you do not already have a planner or coordinator, we are happy to recommend professionals we know and trust and who understand how to work alongside a design-led team.

This collaborative approach allows each professional to focus on what they do best - resulting in a more seamless and enjoyable experience for you.

Do you work with LGBTQ+ couples?

Our celebrations are inclusive. We only work with fellow wedding professionals who share our belief that all humans are equal,
no matter their race, gender, ethnicity, belief system, or who they love.

HOW MANY EVENTS DO YOU PLAN PER YEAR?

We intentionally take on a limited number of weddings each year.

Our work is highly custom and requires a significant investment of creative energy, attention, and collaboration. Limiting our calendar allows us to remain fully present for each couple and ensure that no two weddings ever feel replicated.

Quality and intention will always come before quantity.

HOW EARLY IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK YOUR SERVICES?

We recommend reaching out 12–18 months before your wedding date, especially for peak seasons in Atlanta and destination weddings.

That said, availability can vary, and we occasionally accept shorter timelines depending on the scope and season. The sooner we connect, the more thoughtfully we can design your wedding experience.

WHY DON'T YOU LIST YOUR PRICES?

We do not list pricing publicly because no two weddings - and no two design scopes - are the same.

Our proposals are custom and based on factors such as overall vision, guest count, location, level of design involvement, and collaboration needs. After learning more about your wedding, we’ll create a tailored proposal that reflects your priorities and investment. However, on average, our clients spend as a whole for the entire wedding (dress, flowers, venue, etc.) around $500-$1500 per guest.

DO YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS FROM SUPPLIERS FOR RECOMMENDING THEM TO US?

However, common in the wedding industry, transparency is very important to us.

Our design fees are structured independently of vendor commissions. When we recommend vendors, it is based on fit, quality, and experience — not incentives. Any referral arrangements are handled ethically and never at the expense of our clients.

Our only goal is to assemble the right team to bring your vision to life.

WHAT IF WE FIND SOME OF THE VENDORS ON OUR OWN?

That’s perfectly fine.

We are happy to work with vendors you’ve already selected, provided they align with the overall vision and meet professional standards. We will thoughtfully integrate them into the design plan and collaborate to ensure a cohesive final result.

Our goal is always to build the best possible creative team around your wedding.

What exactly does wedding design, styling, and creative direction include?

Overall design concept and creative vision
