How far in advance should we hire a planner?
Most weddings and large-scale galas are booked 9-18 months in advance, especially for peak season (May-October) or destination celebrations. For corporate events and smaller gatherings, 3-6 months is typically sufficient. Reach out even if your timeline is tight; we can often accommodate based on availability.
