What a Florida wedding planner actually costs

Planner pricing scales with total wedding spend, not flat fees. In Florida's core markets:

• Full-service planning: 10–20% of total budget, or $6,000–$18,000 flat
• Partial planning: $3,500–$7,500
• Month-of / day-of coordination: $2,000–$5,000
• Hourly consulting: $150–$400/hour

How to hire a wedding planner in Florida

1. Lock the date and venue first — most Florida planners quote based on venue and guest count.
2. Interview 3 planners — ask for a full price breakdown, not just packages.
3. Check references from the last 12 months — the Florida vendor scene changes fast.
4. Read the contract carefully — cancellation, sick-day coverage, and travel fees matter.
