HEY People, ready to Blow some minds?
LET'S Put some pep in this party
Tired of the same tired ballroom wedding? Want to rally the crew for a party that shouts, "This is US"? Let's take your love story and turn it into an epic experience.
SURE, YOU *COULD* Go FOr white or ivory.
But that's definitely not you. You'd rather visit City Hall on your lunch hour than bring your people from far and wide for the something... ho-hum.
Many times when you book a venue or caterer, they have a basic, set-it-and-forget-it offering with regard to how your wedding will look and feel. And that works just fine for most people. But if you're reading this, you are not most people!
The idea of a builder basic wedding that's exactly like everyone else's is just not an option for you. That's why you're here. You want someone to walk you through the squillions of options for personalizing all the aspects of your event.
We got you, Superstar.
You want an adventure!
"Jasmin's eye for detail and her ability to listen and somehow just know what your mind is thinking is amazing."
From the first day that we met I knew that Jasmin was not only incredibly creative but personable, a great listener and little did I know what an amazing help she would be during my wedding planning process... Jasmin would ask me a few questions and then say, “Oh like this?” with a sketch of EXACTLY what I had envisioned.

WHAT IT IS
Color + Texture
We'll design a cohesive motif- inspired by your love- that connects all your spaces. Personalizing 50 acres of farm land or 2500 sq. ft. of loft space means you have to start somewhere. And while Pinterest inspires, it doesn't actually make anything, answer your emails, or show up at your wedding!
Mood and Style
Your apartment may be clean and modern, but your venue is a 19th century mansion. How do you bridge the style divide? Let us help you blend it all in a way that feels effortless and so very "you".
CONSULTING
Let us recommend vendors, memorize their policies, measure your venue, visit the rental companies, source all the details... we do the research so you can spend your engagement period feeling relaxed and confident that you're on track.
let's be real.
no one wants to spend their wedding day on a ladder
You don't, and neither does your wedding party. You'll be getting glammed up. Your coordinator will be busy handling your timeline, guests, and other vendors. Your family will be spread (almost) as thin as you are.
Then there's the weather to consider.
A destination wedding is a whole different animal. Let us support you in creating the kind of magic that only a pro can handle so that you can focus on marrying your best friend.
What if you didn't have to do it all? What if you had total peace of mind knowing you had a custom-designed event and a team of experts executing your exact vision?
IF YOu'RE READY TO:
Show up to your destination wedding knowing the venue is styled to perfection.
Create a magical environment that will engage and delight your guests.
Have them talking about your wedding weekend for years to come.
Put the focus of your day where it belongs:
On your partnership and your community.

Where to start
Tell Us the Time and Place
That way we'll know if we're available on your wedding date and what we're working with in terms of your venue and what they already provide.
Prepare to Strategize
Gather up some images that helps us understand your style. Come prepared to talk about the flow of your day and what you envision your guests experiencing. The clearer you are about what you envision, the more clearly we can represent you to your guests. The better you can identify challenges, the easier we can create beautiful solutions.

We'll give you a high level of walkthrough the planning process, and custom design the look and feel of your event. We'll source (or build) all the decor, but we'll also advise on other details. On the day, we collaborate with your venue, caterer, and coordinator to make sure your day is both successful and beautifully styled.

next question ➔
We like to say that planning has two subcategories: Design and Event Management (also known as coordination). As designers, our job is to generate the overall look and feel of the event, gather the elements needed to execute that vision, and assemble a team responsible for bringing the vision to fruition. We focus on aesthetic and sensory details, while a coordinator handles logistics.
Yes, there's a bit of overlap, but design and coordination are two separate- but equally necessary- planning pillars.

next question ➔
Over the years we've found that our couples fall into two categories:
Group one's venue already provides an event manager to generate the timeline, check in vendors, shuffle guests, and coordinate other day-of logistics. But they don't come onboard until 30 days out and they don't handle design.
Group two is planning on their own from out-of-town, and their venue provides no planning help whatsoever, so the couple needs design help and a separate coordinator, which we're happy to recommend to them.

DO YOU OFFER COORDINATION?
When you book any designer, you're booking an intangible service. We are serving you with our time, experience, vendor connections, email, consultations, proofs of concept (such as mood boards and digital renderings), studio time, and our presence for 10-12 hours on the day of your event.
Whether you choose to purchase your flowers and decor directly from us or from a vendor we recommend, goods are separate from design services. We send itemized invoices for goods purchased or rented for your wedding, so you always know exactly where your money is going.

We really want to focus on your wedding and only your wedding. We pride ourselves on truly getting to know you, and it's just not our style to churn out five events at once.
That's why we're super careful to make sure each and every couple with whom we form a partnership is a great fit for Idyllwild, and that Idyllwild is a great fit for them.
We ask for lots of input from you about what you're hoping to achieve. It's the best way to know if we're offering the best solutions!
Do you do several events per day?

next question ➔
It's best to onboard with Idyllwild just after you've chosen your venue and caterer, and at least a year before your wedding date. That way nothing is rushed, and you have plenty of time to make adjustments to your vision and account for supply chain issues.
You'll have your pick of vendors, we can visit your venue on or about your wedding date and get a real feel for the seasonality of your wedding, and we can really become familiar with one another.

As with a wedding, it all depends on the scope and style of the event. If Idyllwild is a good fit in terms of theme, budget, and availability, we'll consider showers, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and other pre- and post-wedding events. But weddings are our happy place and thus our first priority. We love to see you love one another.
