Our Wedding Planning Services
An incredible wedding day experience for you and your guests requires great planning, creative event design, and seamless coordination.
However, not every couple needs help with each piece of that process. That’s why Partridge & Pear’s offerings let you select just the services that are right for you.
We offer three services: Planning, Design, and Event Management. Our clients often choose one, two, or all three of these options.
Choose the services that are right for you based on:
- What parts of wedding planning you want to handle yourself
- What you know you know nothing about and would rather we handle for you
- How much of your wedding budget you’ve allocated to planning
Planning

Hire us for Planning if you’re looking for a hands-on jump start with planning the overall vision and first steps for your wedding. You’ll receive expert advice and help from the Partridge & Pear team with selecting your venue, as well as getting all of your core, non-design vendors booked. From start to finish, we’ll help you connect with and book the right vendors and providers for your event.
Who Planning is Right For…
If you resonate with any of these points, Planning is for you:
• You don’t know what vendors to book and in what order (hint: booking them out of order can leave your budget short and cause total mayhem with available dates).
• You need a professional with pre-existing relationships and knowledge about reliable, vetted vendors in Dallas and the Fort Worth areas.
• You’re not quite sure how to allocate a budget, what you even need it for, or what things typically cost.
• You don’t know what you’d do in case of weather-related emergencies (like having a rain plan).
• You’d like to avoid being “venue-poor” — which is spending a ton of money on your venue and not having enough budget left to pull your event together.
• You don’t live locally in Dallas or Fort Worth, but you’re planning to get married here and want local guidance.
What Planning Includes…
As your Dallas wedding planner, Partridge & Pear provides:
- Easy and vetted vendor referrals
- Unlimited access to online planning and management tool
- In-depth venue search
- Detailed checklist
- Clear and organized project planning calendar
- Recommendations and bookings of vendors
- Thorough contract reviews
- Simplified booking of hotel blocks and transportation needs
- Expert budget guidance and management
Design

You know you want a beautiful wedding day, but you might be shocked by all the decisions that go into choosing a color palette, design details, paper goods, ceremony decor, floral installations, reception tablescapes… The list goes on and on, and that Pinterest board isn’t helping you get from inspiration to real design decisions.
When you opt for our Design service, you’re adding the expertise and creative flair we’ve cultivated at our sister company, Birds of a Feather, to your gorgeous wedding day. We leave no design detail behind, focusing on bringing your love story and vision alive through aesthetic and decorative elements.
Who Design Is Right For…
Choosing Design is right for you if:
• You’re a planner and an organizer yourself, but creative visuals stress you out.
• You have great taste, but you need an objective eye to design for you.
• You love a lot of “Shiny Things,” but you’re not sure how to pull all those looks and trends together for yourself.
• You do have a good eye for design, but budgeting for everything you need is overwhelming.
• You don’t want a cookie-cutter or “Pinterest-inspired” look.
• You’re not in the loop with wedding trends (because, let’s be honest, your field of expertise is different).
• You find yourself faltering when trying to describe what you want to your design vendors.
• You’re ultimately afraid that your wedding won’t “click” visually.
• You want an incredible, unforgettable wedding experience for your guests.
What the Design Service Includes…
Here’s what you can expect from the Partridge & Pear team as your Dallas wedding designers:
- Easy and vetted vendor referrals
- Unlimited access to online planning and management tool
- High-contact, comprehensive consultation
- Inspiration board and color palette creation
- Detailed design plan
- Linen selection and tabletop design (for example, if you have an eye on big centerpieces, we know the table sizes you’ll need to accommodate this!)
- Collaboration with florist for design of centerpieces, installations, and personal flowers
- Working with design specialists for stationery design
- Selection of lighting, draping, furnishings, and room decor
- Cake design, including sketches
- Creation of a full floor plan design
- Sourcing of suppliers
- Supervision of day-of production and installations at the venue
Event Management

You might be looking for a wedding coordinator, but, we promise, Event Management is everything you’re hoping for and more. Our Event Management service allows you to keep Partridge & Pear in your back pocket, not just on your wedding day but throughout your planning. From the moment you hire us, Event Management allows you to confer and consult with our knowledgeable team about questions you may have.
We’ll onboard you our online planning and management tool, equipping you with vendor referrals and detailed timelines for your rehearsal and wedding day.
Then, on the day of your event, we’ll make sure everything runs smoothly and handle any of those inevitable small to large wedding day emergencies.
Who Event Management Is Right For…
Does this sound like you?
• You need an experienced professional to solve problems that arise during your rehearsal and wedding day.
• You’re looking for guidance more than 6 weeks out from the wedding day.
• You don’t want your friends or family to spend your wedding day setting up decor or managing timelines.
• You understand that this is not day-of wedding coordination — we want your wedding to be more successful than if we just showed up on the day of. You’re looking for recommendations that begin right as you book us and hands-on management that ramps up 6 weeks out from your wedding day
• You consider yourself an organized and “Type A” personality, but you know you do that well for others — when it comes to your own events, you need objective advice and help.
Event Management Includes…
As your Dallas wedding coordinators, Partridge & Pear provides:
- Vendor referrals
- Access to online planning and management tools
- Detailed timeline for your wedding day
- A liaison and manager between the client and creative team for the planning process (the Event Management package does not handle design)
- Coordination with all vendors, management of all logistical details, troubleshooting to ensure everything runs smoothly
- Final site visits and walkthroughs of the venue
- Coordination of all transportation for the wedding party and out-of-town guests the day of the wedding
- Coordination and supervision of the ceremony rehearsal
- Management of itinerary and timelines, from set-up to tear-down
