Before The Ring
Planning Before the Proposal? You’re Not Alone.
You don’t need a ring to know you’re ready to start thinking ahead. Whether you’re already envisioning a long-weekend wedding in the Berkshires or quietly gathering inspo for someday, this is a safe space to get organized early, without judgment or pressure.
If you're the planner in your relationship, or the one who’s been pinning ideas since 2019, welcome. You're in the right place.
Our Before the Ring planning is designed for couples who like to be a few steps ahead. We’ll talk through the smart stuff, timelines, venue seasons, how much weddings really cost, so that when the time comes, you're not overwhelmed or playing catch-up.
What This Looks Like
Here’s what early-stage planning can include:
A 1:1 strategy session to talk through your ideal wedding style, season, and guest vibe
Budget overview: what to expect, what to prioritize, and where the biggest costs actually land
Sample planning timelines, vendor lead time, and how to reverse-engineer your ideal date
Guidance on family dynamics and expectations (because yes, that’s already in the mix)
Clarity around your “musts” vs “nice to haves”
Why Start Early?
Because good planning gives you options.
Because booking the right venue often happens 12–24 months in advance.
Because it’s your wedding, and you get to define what that season feels like from the very beginning.
We’ll help you feel clear, grounded, and ready to make intentional decisions even if you’re still keeping it quiet for now.
Gift it to a friend or partner?
Yes. We offer digital gift cards for pre-engagement planning sessions, perfect for the planner in your life.
Supporting the Ones Who Help Make It Happen
Weddings are about bringing people together,and that includes the people helping behind the scenes. If you're a parent, relative, or family friend supporting the couple in any way, we’re here to guide you, too.
Whether you're hosting, contributing financially, helping with planning decisions, or simply want to be supportive without stepping on toes — welcome.
This season can be beautiful, emotional, and yes, occasionally a little tricky. We help families navigate it with clarity, kindness, and structure, so the couple feels celebrated and everyone feels included.
What You’ll Find Here:
We work closely with the whole planning team — and yes, that often includes moms, aunts, stepparents, and grandparents. Together, we can:
Clarify roles, expectations, and communication styles
Ease the emotional weight of “who’s doing what”
Keep timelines, RSVPs, and budgets on track
Respect family traditions while honoring what matters most to the couple
Create space for your voice, without overstepping
Common Questions We Hear:
“We’re paying — how involved should we be?”
It’s a great question, and we’ll help set a rhythm that works for everyone. You’ll stay informed, respected, and included — without feeling like you’re in the weeds.
“I want to help, but I don’t want to overstep.”
You’re not alone. Our job is to facilitate healthy boundaries, streamline communication, and keep the couple’s vision intact while making room for your support.
“Can I talk to the planner, or just the couple?”
You’re absolutely welcome to communicate directly. In fact, we love when parents or family are involved — it usually means a stronger planning team and a smoother day overall.
