FAQ

I SEE THAT YOU ARE A PLANNER/DESIGNER. HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT THAN JUST A PLANNER?

Planners handle the logistical details of an event, such as choosing and managing vendors and ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Designers create a cohesive vision for an event by weaving together all of the aesthetic elements in a visually stunning way. We do both planning and design, an approach that sets us apart in the industry. Unlike most planners who do not have formal design training - we do. With artistry and imagination, we envision and design the look of your wedding. Our clients come to us for our taste, style, and ability to design an elegant yet understated event, modern yet timeless. Furthermore, with an in-house floral and decor production service, plus a paper goods division, we offer the opportunity to handle every design element. This is not only logistically easier for you; it also unifies every aspect of your wedding.

Do i really need a wedding planner?

The answer is a resounding yes! A wedding planner can help you navigate the intricate details and logistics of your big day, allowing you to relax and enjoy the planning process.

Our team of experienced wedding planners will help you with every aspect of your wedding, from creating a budget and timeline to selecting vendors and designing the perfect décor. Kogan Events, full-service wedding planner and designer based in Atlanta, will handle it all, so you can focus on what's most important – celebrating your love and commitment.

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a wedding planner is the time and stress it can save you. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, especially if you're working full-time and trying to juggle all of the details on your own. With a wedding planner by your side, you'll have a professional to handle the nitty-gritty details and keep everything on track.

We take pride in our personalized approach to wedding planning. We will work closely with you to understand your unique vision and style, and we'll help you bring it to life on your big day. We have a network of trusted vendors and suppliers who can provide everything from catering and photography to florals and entertainment.

In addition to managing the logistics of your wedding, a wedding planner can also help you stay within your budget. We'll work with you to create a realistic budget that covers all of your needs, and we'll help you prioritize your spending to make the most of your investment.

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 believe in always choosing quality over quantity. Our goal is always to give you our undivided attention and creative energy. Our bespoke service requires hours of creative and logistic work. There are no two couples alike, and that's why you won't see us replicating work from one event to another. Curating a truly unforgettable, entirely bespoke wedding takes time and focus.The number of events we curate in a year is not set in stone. It is, however, limited by how all the commitments are spread in time in a given year. Ideally, the number of weddings we plan in a year doesn't exceed 10.

HOW EARLY IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK YOUR SERVICES?

We encourage couples to get in touch as early as 12-16 months before the preferred date. We also advise our couples to keep their guests in mind - the sooner you start planning and fix the date, the sooner you can give your nearest and dearest notice to make all the travel-related arrangements.

WHY DON'T YOU LIST YOUR PRICES?

We chose not to list our prices because, just like the couples we work with, no two weddings are alike. We charge a percentage of your budget, and the final quote depends on your budget, destination, the scope of work, and multiple other variables. 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, this practice is not often spoken about transparently enough. Our approach to commissions is one of the reasons we chose to base our fee on the % of the overall wedding budget. We don't believe in lowering our rate to lure in clients only to have suppliers inflate their rates to compensate us behind the couple's back. That is why our only motivation behind putting vendors forward for your consideration is finding the best team to execute your dream wedding. If a supplier wishes to reward us for a referral, it is welcome only if it comes from their budget.

WHICH VENDORS CAN WE COUNT ON YOU TO FIND FOR OUR WEDDING?

We find all vendors you might need for the day(s) of your celebration. Depending on your specific needs, the list includes (but is not limited to): venue, catering, rentals and decor, florist, lighting, DJ/Band, photographer, videographer, transportation, cake, hair & MUA, stationery, entertainment, etc. Through research, we will provide you with 3-5 recommendations per category based on your budget, style, and vendor availability.

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

We are more than happy to work with wedding professionals you found before booking us, tough after vetting them and ensuring they have appropriate credentials. As your Atlanta Wedding Planner, we are here to do the heavy lifting for you, finding you the best team. Please note that our service is not limited to finding you a particular vendor, but it also factors in all event-related communication prior to your wedding and coordinating them on the day of the wedding itself.

do you offer month of/Day of coordination?

We offer this service as a part of our Full Service Planning and Design package. This service starts about two months before your Big Day when all the planning and design is completed. That’s when we handle everything that has to do with successful and seamless execution of your wedding, like: creating timeline and floor plan, managing the team of vendors, overseeing set up of the ceremony, cocktail and reception areas, keeping the timeline of the day, supporting the two of you throughout the day, etc.
