You’re the reason we’re here
BREATHTAKING Weddings Designed With intention and Care
If we haven’t already, we’ll schedule a complimentary consultation call to get to know you both, hear about your love story and what you imagine for the wedding of your dreams.
We’ll share more information about our services and how we can help bring your vision to life.
During your consultation, we’ll guide you toward the wedding planning package that suits you best, and then we’ll create a custom proposal tailored to your specific event needs.
Once you accept your proposal and sign your contract, you’re officially part of the SG3 Events family!
You can expect a special, custom welcome gift in the mail shortly after booking with us, and then we’ll arrange an onboarding meeting to dive deeper into your vision. Think of this as your opportunity to share everything that’s been swirling around in your head, giving you peace of mind that it’s now in trusted hands.
You’ll also have a chance to complete our fun, thorough, and thought-provoking questionnaire that allows us to gain a comprehensive vision of your special day. Grab a glass of wine, and enjoy the process!
Everyone’s favorite part! We’ll create a personalized design board curated based on your wedding vision. It’s like seeing your Pinterest board organized with all your thoughts and ideas in one place! This is where you’ll really start to see your vision coming to life.
With all of these details and your approved design board, we are armed with all we need to plan your special day. We match you with the perfect vendors for your event, negotiate and advocate on your behalf, and handle all the logistics in between. You’ll have the opportunity to be as involved or hands-off as you’d like throughout this process.
As your wedding day nears, we’ll create a detailed timeline of events, seating layouts, and triple-check every last detail to ensure we’re more than ready for your day.
Your big day has finally arrived! After all the excitement and anticipation, all that’s left for you to do is relax, pop the champagne, and prepare for that magical, life-changing moment where you’ll say “I do.”
Meanwhile, we’ll be on site bright and early, making sure everything goes according to plan so you can simply stay present and enjoy every moment.
Your wedding day might be over, and you’re hopefully off on your honeymoon, but our work is not done! We close out any pending items from vendors, return personal belongings, keep watch for your photo and video galleries, help you with your thank you cards, and more! Our service is truly white-glove from start to finish.
While this marks an end to our wedding planning journey, it begins your exciting journey as a married couple, and we just can’t wait to serve you again in the future!

Absolutely! We consider our relationship a partnership, and will involve you in every design choice, planning decision, and more, while still keeping the experience stress-free and peaceful on your end.

Definitely! Our favorite projects span multiple days and several events. If you’re planning a wedding weekend experience, including events like a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception, and a farewell brunch, you’re speaking our language.
Can you plan my rehearsal dinner, too?
