Wedding planners

A San Miguel wedding planner may handle venue visits, vendor contracts, design, guest transport, or several events across one weekend. Those jobs are not included in every proposal. Compare the work each team will actually do, not just the look of its portfolio.

The notes on these profiles draw on each planner's published services. They are a starting point for questions, not a rating of work we have personally observed. Ask for a written scope and the name of the person who will run your wedding on site.

Local planning notes

What to check before you hire

Weekend coverage

Ask which events the team will coordinate, with hours and a named lead for each. A welcome event at another venue needs its own setup and closeout.

Venue facts

Before signing, compare seated capacity for your chosen space, the music cutoff, rain backup and rules for outside vendors.

Guest arrivals

Clarify who handles transfers, walking routes, accessibility and English/Spanish communication. Make sure the contract says whether that work is included.

Frequently asked questions

When should we contact a planner?

Once you have a likely date, guest count and budget range, ask about availability. Contact planners before signing a venue contract if you want help comparing capacity, curfews, rain backup and vendor rules. There is no single booking timeline that fits every wedding.

What should a planning proposal include?

Look for named deliverables, the events and dates covered, the on-site team, payment schedule and exclusions. Ask who signs vendor contracts, manages the budget, approves design changes and takes over from the venue coordinator on the wedding day.

Can a planner arrange a callejoneada?

Some listed planners offer callejoneada coordination. Ask who confirms the current location, hours and permissions for your date before including a street procession in your guest schedule. Do not assume that a portfolio photo proves your proposed route is permitted.
