Not necessarily. If you’re looking for full-service planning, that’s not what this course is. Some of my students are doing everything DIY-style. Others have a wedding coordinator, but want to handle the bulk of planning themselves. The course gives you the tools, checklists, and insider tips we as a planning team use every day — so whether you’re saving money or just love being hands-on, you’ll feel totally equipped.

You’re not too far in — I promise! Many couples who join have already picked a date or venue, and the course helps you fill in the blanks, double-check details, and make sure you haven’t missed anything important. It also helps you prepare for the wedding day by helping you build out a smart timeline, finalize details with vendors, and choose someone as your “wedding day coordinator” if you haven’t formally hired someone. As you start the course, you can skip around to the parts that matter most to where you’re at right now.

Most couples overspend by 10–20% simply because they don’t know what things should cost or which details actually matter. Inside the course, you’ll learn how to budget like a planner: where to spend smart, where to try and save, and how to avoid the forgotten wedding expenses that often sneak up later. One smart choice, like understanding venue contracts or trimming unnecessary rentals, can easily save you a few hundred dollars. At the end of the day, the course pays for itself (and then some).

If you’re feeling like you need more help, then let us be your bonus “planning sidekick” so you’re totally in sync and feel confident with all the little details. The course helps fill in any blanks and stay on track between meetings with your planner and vendor team.

You can find a lot online about wedding planning- what you can’t find easily is the structure, resources and real-life context that saves you time, money, and stress all in one place. If you’re wanting to plan your wedding mostly on your own, it’ll feel SO good to have a planner in your pocket to add clarity and calm to the process. It’s not about scale or budget, it’s about approaching the process with some insider wisdom so you make smart decisions that help you curate a budget-conscious and overall seamless event.

Inside Ring it Up, you’ll have access to a private online community full of other couples planning their weddings with the course. You’ll also have the opportunity to join our monthly Live Planner Chats where we hop on to answer your questions, troubleshoot tricky decisions, and share real behind-the-scenes advice from current weddings. If you’re wanting additional support, you can also book a 1:1 chat with me for an additional cost if you’re looking for more personalized feedback on timelines, vendors, and more.
