Frequently Asked Questions

A venue coordinator works for the venue, while a wedding coordinator works for you and has your best interests in mind. They’ll help you finalize every detail leading up to the big day and be there to make sure everything runs smoothly, from hair and makeup to your send-off. They’ll coordinate with you, your VIPs, and your vendors on wedding day for key moments and the unexpected ones. A venue coordinator’s role is more limited, focusing on managing venue operations and services.

Not at all! I offer wedding planning services with an eco-friendly flair, which means weddings often feature sustainable practices but they aren’t zero waste or carbon neutral. There are so many ways to go green on your wedding day, and I enjoy finding eco-friendly practices that not only fit your style and budget, but enhance your wedding! I’ll never pressure you to make decisions that don’t feel right for you — I want you to incorporate sustainability in a way that aligns with your vision.

Event Management and Partial Planning packages do not include setup and teardown; however these services are available as an add-on! For an hourly labor fee, my team will manage everything for you.

If you choose not to book my team for setup and teardown, I would oversee and assist with help from a few pre-designated friends or family members.

Please note, full setup and teardown of decor is included in the Full-Service Package.

I’m based in the Treasure Valley, but often travel to Idaho’s central mountains (McCall, Stanley, and Sun Valley) for weddings. I’m also happy to discuss planning services for any event within a six-hour driving radius of Boise. Please note that travel fees apply for weddings outside the Treasure Valley.

Yes, Verdant Events is a registered and insured Idaho business! I also have certifications in both Event Planning and Business Ethics.
