What does an elopement and micro wedding planner do?

How is a planner different from a photographer?

In the traditional wedding world planners and photographer’s jobs differ greatly. Traditional wedding photographers may dip their toes to help with the timeline to align with the best light, but their focus for the day is solely photography.

On the other hand, an elopement photographer’s role extends far beyond the traditional wedding photographer’s role. Elopement photographers help you with the entire planning process, guiding you and giving recommendations. The only thing we don’t do as elopement photographers that a planner would do is the physical execution of planning tasks. For the most part, elopement photographers can’t book things like lodging or vendors for you or execute your decor vision. In some instances, we help obtain permits and communicate with other vendors on an as-needed basis to ensure we’re all on the same team for your wedding day.

We were able to provide Bailey with small glimpses of what we had in mind for our wedding day, and she was able to take our ideas and make them more than we could have ever imagined for our day.”

What is the cost of an elopement planner in Colorado?

The cost of hiring an elopement planner can vary depending on the scope of services, location, and customization. Packages often range from comprehensive, all-inclusive planning to à la carte options tailored to your specific needs. Costs can range from $1000 – $5000+. Remember, investing in a skilled planner can alleviate stress and allow you to savor every moment of your special day.
