Products and services

• Full Planning Package Comprehensive wedding planning service for couples wanting professional development of their wedding from the start. The team handles all legwork including phone calls, emails, negotiations, and securing the best vendor deals. Described as the deluxe, most relaxing planning experience.
• Partial Planning Package Planning service for couples who have started the process already. Blue Orchid enters midway to finish vendor bookings, create overall design, wrap up logistics, and handle remaining vendor communications. Requires that the couple already has venue and 3 vendors booked.
• Management Package (Month-of) Day-of coordination service for couples who have already planned their entire wedding. Approximately one month before the wedding date, Blue Orchid begins collecting all event information and is the first to arrive and last to leave on the wedding day.
• Event Design Services Customized event design services that bring clients' visions to life from initial consultation through post-event coverage. Services include tabletop design, florals, lighting and draping, and luxury details.
• Complimentary Consultation Free initial consultation covering the client's overall vision or theme, budget factors, money-saving ideas, stationery and wording etiquette, and what to expect from hiring a planner. Conducted in-person at the client's preferred location or via phone.

Regional players
