Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

I am a Sarasota based planner, servicing weddings throughout Central and Southwest Florida. There is a travel fee associated with any wedding more than 150 miles from me.

What is the price point to invest in a wedding planner?

Starting pricing for each package is listed here on this website! Check out the SERVICES page and click through your options to find something that is right for you and your fiance.

How soon after getting engaged should I hire my wedding planner?

My books are open up to 2 years in advance! It is never too soon to begin the process of wedding planning.

How are you committed to accessibility and inclusion as a wedding planner?

My main job as an event planner is to be my client's best teammate and biggest advocate. With this, I will work tirelessly to understand the personal needs, cultural expectations, and religious requests of each couple I get to work with. I will be a safe space for my clients and a liaison for them to their loved ones and vendors.

In terms of financial accessibility, I offer a "Build Your Own Plan" option in which you can choose the services that best suit your needs and create a plan that will fit in any budget!

I would like to move forward with the process of booking! What are my next steps?

I am truly honored that you are willing to welcome me into this process with you - I can't wait to help facilitate the wedding day of your dreams!

The next step is to book a consultation on the CONTACT page via your choice of text, phone call, or video call. There I can answer any remaining questions you have and assure you that I will be able to fulfill your expectations for your wedding day. Following this I will draft up a contract based on your expectations. Once the contract is signed a deposit will be collected to hold your date. This non refundable deposit will be 25% of your complete invoice, and will be applied to your total amount due.

I have a question that you didn't answer here.

Please feel free to email me at bekah@bjoyfulevents.com! I am available and happy to answer any remaining questions or concerns.
