FAQ's
Q: What “big ticket” items are NOT included in my W&D wedding?
A: Your bar. The reason we can’t add the cost of your bar into our W&D wedding package is due to state liquor laws. Because of the way the law is written, Wed&Done cannot be the middleman between you and your alcohol purchasing. What couples decide to spend on alcohol varies A TON from wedding to wedding.
The exception to this is if the venue you choose includes the bar as part of a food and beverage minimum. If that’s the case, we’ll spell it out for you in your contract and a basic bar price or what your F&B minimums will be included..
Q: When do I need to book my W&D wedding?
A: Most venues in Arizona are currently booking 14-18 months in advance of a wedding date. So the sooner the better is always recommended if you want first-pick of the venues.
Q: What if I already have a venue booked? Can I still be a Wed&Doner?
A: Yes! If you’ve already booked your venue, let us know right away in the Venue Ranker. If the venue you’ve chosen is part of our fabulous partners, we’ll adjust your contract to remove the cost of your venue. If it’s not, we’ll do our homework and then chat with you about that venue’s specific requirements. If the venue allows Wed&Done vendors, then we are all set!
Q: What if I already have a photographer, a DJ, a baker, or a florist?
A: W&D has worked hard to curate the best vendor partners for our clients. We know that our partners deliver a first-class experience to our clients, time and time again. However, we understand that you may already have an agreement with your favorite pro.
Our system allows you to customize your Wed&Done pacakge before signing your contract. Please note that once the Wed&Done contract is signed, and you start making your monthly payments, your venue and vendors will locked in.
A vendor or venue management fee will be added to your total contract price for any removed venue/vendors.
Q: What if I’m just looking for a day-of coordinator?
A: Nice job! Looks like you’ve already handled all of the heavy lifting! W&D’s system is really designed to do all of that for you. So while we might not be a fit, the team over at KDP Events is just the biz you’ll need! Click here to connect with them directly about day-of/month-of coordination.
Q: Why are you asking about my guest count so early on? What if I’m not sure?
A: Our system is pretty magical, but it needs some info from you as a starting point. If you plan on having between 50-99 guests, choose the “No less than 50” number. You can always upgrade and add more guests on the path, but you can’t lower that starting number, as it’s used to generate your W&D contracted wedding price. If you know you’ll have at least 100 guests, choose “No less than 100” as that will make your base number more accurate.
Q: You have a ton of venues that you offer! Will I be choosing from a long list of caterers, photographers, florists, bakers, and DJs too?
A: One of the HUGE benefits of working with Wed&Done is that you won’t be plagued with decision fatigue when it comes to making your wedding selections. We’ve narrowed down the choices for you (cuz, you know, we come with a TON of experience)! Keep in mind that all of our vendors allow for optional upgrades, so your choices are nearly unlimited! Along the Wed&Done path, if you want something more customized, just drop a note to your fairy godmother and we’ll connect with our team to make it happen!
For your photography, you’ll be able to choose between a variety of styles. Then we’ll pair you with a pro that fits your style.
Your choice of catering will be somewhat dependent on your venue. If your venue has in-house catering, you’ll be able to choose from their menus. For the venues utilizing the W&D preferred culinary masters, you’ll be able to choose from three different menu styles once you reach the Yum Yum section of the path: Classic America, Mexican Fiesta, and Italian Bounty. Each of these menus has TONS of ways to customize your reception meals.
The wedding day florals will be created by our fabulous floral phenoms! You’ll have four styles to choose from: whites & greens, dusty pastels, vibrant wildflowers, and jewel tones. Depending on your preference, our W&D florist and fairy godmother will work with you to make your petal dreams bloom!
Your DJ will be a tried and true event professional who not only masters the MC’ing but knows how to keep the party going. The Jam & Groove section of the path lets you tell this musical maestro all about your musical tastes, what should be played when, and who needs access to the mic during toasts (and who to keep it away from!)
Your wedding cake or small treats table will also be made by a baking A-lister! At the end of the Yum Yum section, you’ll be able to choose from a list of delectable treats and customize the sweet ending to your magical day.
Q: I’m not seeing any hair & makeup artists on the path. What’s the deal with that?
A: Bridal beauty is super personalized. (Some of our clients are actually professional MU&H artists themselves!) So we didn’t add that into our vendor dream team mix. However, we do have several wonderful artists that we work closely with. If you’d like recommendations, just shoot a message to your fairy godmother and we’ll put you in touch.
Q: There are several stops along this magical path! When should I complete each?
A: In the wedding industry, photographers and venues are the first to book up, so we have those sections as your first stops along your journey to wedded bliss! The sooner you choose the perfect venue, the sooner you can move on to all of the remaining path points. Ideally, we recommend that you book your venue 8-12 months prior to your wedding date.
The Yum Yum section and the Jam & Groove section can be completed closer to your wedding date. Usually 30 days prior to your date, caterers and venues need final guest counts, so try get to that section about 2 months before your wedding, just to give yourself time to fill out all the details.
