What makes you different aka why choose LE Events?
Simply put- we have experience most planners do not: background in hotels & venues coordinating weddings, planning events for large companies- behind the scenes and as a client. Sure- some of us have planned our own weddings BUT truthfully that certainly isn't experience enough to be a wedding planner. Most of our clients are referrals- from past clients and people in the industry. Many of our clients are in the industry themselves so we take that as a huge compliment. Want past client or venue manager referrals? Just ask!
Can I customize a package?
Absolutely! Having your ceremony on an island and reception at home? Need an extra appointment (aka reinforcements) when the whole family is in town for the tasting? Each event is unique so our services are too.
How can I decide you are the right planner for me?
There are many good planners out there- some who create beautiful things, some who are great at managing logistics, and some who are fantastic at both. We pride ourselves on being that advocate for you to give you options, opinions and resources to best execute your vision. All of our clients come to us because they understand the value of having a really savvy planner in their back pocket. We won't try to convince you that you NEED a planner because you can do this without us, but we just think it's so much more fun with us! Your investment is important to us and we want to ensure every client feels they have the right resource for their event.
What if I have questions about the process and packages?
Planning Process
Just drop us a line, we are happy to answer questions before scheduling a consultation.
Do I get to meet my planner before booking?
Absolutely! We include one phone or in person consultation before booking. This is a chance to discuss your planning needs and get to know each other.
What is your payment policy?
We require a 25% deposit (based on cost of quoted package) to book the date and get your planning process under way immediately. Two additional payments will be spread out over the remaining planning timeframe with the last payment due 30 days prior to the event.
We do regularly coordinate weddings in Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona. We charge a flat travel rate of $500 for any destinations in Washington(further than 1.5 hours one way from Seattle area), Oregon, California and Arizona. In addition, 2 night accommodations are added on to the package for a lead planner and coordinator (one room) for these destinations. Additional nights may be required for additional service days (weekday rehearsals, day after brunch, etc..)

This does not include site visits which we charge separately but encourage clients to combine with tastings or design appointments to get the most out of their planning process and expense.
