It’s time to start planning the best day of your life! You know you can’t do this alone, and you’d really like to hire a Dallas wedding planner or coordinator.
But you have some questions!
What’s the difference between a wedding planner and a wedding coordinator in Dallas? What do they do? How much do they cost?
Just read below to find out. 😊
Okay. So you’ve heard the term “wedding planner” and “wedding coordinator.” But what do they mean? Are they the same thing?
Nope! They’re not!
A DFW wedding planner helps you throughout the entire planning process! As soon as you hire her, she starts working with you to put all the pieces together. She’ll help you find your dream wedding venue, your caterers, your florist, and all your vendors, as well as create a budget with you and keep you on track! After all, there are so many things to do! It’s nearly impossible to remember all of them!
You’ll want to hire a wedding planner if you feel completely lost when it comes to the planning aspect. You need help knowing where to start, and you just don’t want to deal with all the back-and-forth communication between venues and vendors…You’d much rather have your planner take care of that!
A DFW wedding coordinator does not help throughout the planning process. She comes in at the end to wrap up the final details, confirm all your vendors, and make sure your wedding day goes just how you imagine!
Working with a wedding coordinator is best if you feel super good about the planning! You love taking care of all the nitty gritty details, you’re super organized, and you totally know what kind of wedding you want. You go, girl! You definitely don’t need a planner; just get a coordinator to make sure all your amazing plans happen just the way you want them to. 😊

Simply put, Dallas wedding planners in the DFW area help you with the actual planning process! They help you find your venue, find all your vendors (caterers, florists, decorations, etc.), create your wedding budget, create your day-of timeline...All the planning tasks! And then, they run everything on your wedding day for you, too.
Wedding coordinators in Dallas Fort Worth don't help you with the wedding planning. You're on your own when it comes to getting your vendors and all the details together, but your wedding coordinator comes in the last month of your engagement to tie up the loose ends and run everything for you on the wedding day!
However, there are a loooooot of variances in the specific services that wedding planners and coordinators provide. So we’re going to give you our specific services for each as an example! 😊
WHAT DOES A WEDDING PLANNER IN DALLAS DO?
If you hire us as your wedding planner for your wedding in Dallas, here’s a list (definitely not comprehensive!) of what we, as your wedding planners, do for you:
WHAT DOES A WEDDING COORDINATOR IN DALLAS DO?
You might have heard of "day-of coordinators" and "month-of coordinators." Really, they're pretty much the same. All wedding coordinators typically start meeting with you the month before your wedding, so that they can perfectly execute your wedding day!
If you hire us as your day-of coordinators for your wedding in the Dallas Fort Worth area, these are some of the specific things we'll do for you:

A DFW wedding coordinator comes in about a month before your wedding to help you finalize your details, confirm your vendors for you, and run the wedding day!
You can find inexperienced wedding coordinators for as low as $350-$750. But these are the bottom of the bunch: wedding coordinators who are just starting out and have little to no experience.
More seasoned wedding coordinators can range anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 for their day-of coordination packages.
Wedding planners in Dallas and Fort Worth are different than wedding coordinators in that they’re with you all throughout the planning process! Instead of being with you for only a month or two, your planner is helping you as soon as you hire her! That’s many months and hundreds of hours of time that she’s spending with you.
Typically, wedding planners offer both full planning and partial planning packages.
THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR FULL WEDDING PLANNING IN DALLAS FORT WORTH
With this package, your wedding planner helps you find your venue and all your vendors, as well as draw up a budget, create a vision board for your dream wedding, make a timeline specific for you, and coordinate the entire rehearsal and wedding day for you.
Full wedding planning packages in DFW start around $3,000 for less experienced planners all the way up to over $12,000. On average, you’ll find planning packages between $2,000 and $5,000.
THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR PARTIAL WEDDING PLANNING IN DALLAS FORT WORTH
With this package, you’ve already found your venue or quite a few vendors on your own! So you don’t need as much help from your planner, but you want someone to fill in the missing pieces and keep you on track during the planning.
Partial wedding planning packages in DFW start around $1,500 for less experienced wedding planners and go up to $3,000 or $4,000 for experienced planners.
There are a lot of factors that go into that question! But we’ll just share 3 with you today. 😊 A Dallas wedding planner’s and coordinator's cost is determined by:
How much a wedding planner or coordinator costs is determined by how much time she spends on your wedding! How much time is she researching venues for you, or coming with you to cake tastings, or working her magic on the wedding day?
Wedding planners and coordinators aren’t like…let’s say…your venue that you only enjoy for one day. Or your buffet dinner that’s only served for a couple hours. Your wedding planner and coordinator is with you for months, (if not years!), and she’s right by your side every step of the way.
So let’s do the math a little bit to help those of you who love seeing the numbers! Below are a few things you have for your wedding day. An estimated price for each was calculated using a guest count of 100, and then the number of hours you have them for is divided by that price to figure out the cost per hour.
Wow! Those hourly prices are crazy good when compared to everything else! Girl, you definitely get a wedding planner or coordinator for an amazing price.
How much a wedding planner or coordinator costs you is definitely dependent on which services she provides!
Some just offer the minimal basics: they show up for the rehearsal and the wedding day and don’t do much more. But with us at Double Blessing Events, along with other wedding planners and coordinators, we’re here to go above and BEYOND for you and your special day, girl. The following list includes just a few of the things that we offer our brides. ❤️
We…
And that list doesn’t even include everything we do the week of the wedding!

When you hire a wedding planner or coordinator, you can’t see it as simply making a purchase or buying an item.
You have to think about the results and the value you get in working with a wedding planner.
For so many years, you’ve prayed for the man of your dreams to come along. You’ve thought so much about the day that you could love someone completely, and be loved that way in return!
But if you’re stressed every single day of your engagement, and you feel so overwhelmed trying to get everything done, is saving a little money by not hiring a wedding planner worth it? Is struggling every day and then being absolutely exhausted and burnt-out on your wedding day what you want?
No! Of course not!
