We ARE an actual team that is in constant communication with each other in order to better ourselves and consistently offer our clients a stellar experience. At Chancey Charm, we really thrive on the this aspect of planning a high-end event because of how much it benefits our clients and their weddings. We understand that it takes a team to execute an event of this caliber, and our award winning group of professionals is more than up for the task!

The best part of our team philosophy is that as a Chancey Charm bride, you are not only getting the expertise, knowledge, and connections of the planner you are working with, but you also have that kind of support from an entire national team of luxury wedding planners. It truly is the best of both worlds; you receive expert personal attention from one planner and the knowledge and experience of many!

We offer a version of “day-of” known as “month-of” coordination. It’s a common misconception that wedding coordinators can come in on your wedding day without having spent time reviewing the details and troubleshooting potential issues, and still be able to execute a flawless event. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case.

As planners, we want to make sure that we have enough time to gather the information needed to manage all of the details you’ve put together, while making sure that we troubleshoot any issues  that could come up so that there are no unwelcome surprises on your wedding day.

Therefore, our “month-of” coordination package starts one month before your wedding date to ensure that we have had enough time to familiarize ourselves with all the details and logistics necessary to ensure your event runs smoothly.

We promise, once you’re a month out from your day, you’ll be so relieved to be able to enjoy the last few weeks before you say “I do!” that you’ll readily hand off the reins to a trusted professional who can take on the responsibility of ensuring a stress-free wedding day.

Our full planning and design package is created to assist you throughout every step of your wedding planning process. From help with vendor selection and negotiation, to the creation of a custom design plan, we can do it all! Oh and don’t worry, we don’t select your vendors for you. Rather, like we do with most aspects of the planning process, we’ll narrow down the sea of possibilities and provide you with a list of curated choices that fit your budget and taste preferences. Then we take those options and present them to you to make the final decision.

And since each bride is different in terms of the amount of guidance they need, we customize each proposal to fit their unique level of support through partial planning packages as requested. There’s not a lot that we won’t do for our full service brides!

ABSOLUTELY! We are happy to add design services to any month of coordination package, and it’s already included in our full service planning packages.

Our approach to event design is one-of-a-kind and it is one of our favorite parts of the entire planning process. We start by sitting down with you and your fiancé in order to really get to know you both as a couple. We’ll ask you questions to learn more about your personal style, then we’ll work with you to create a comprehensive design plan that outlines all of the aesthetic details for your big day so you’ll be able to envision exactly what it will look like when you celebrate with your loved ones.

Our goal is to incorporate as much of your personality and personal style into your wedding day as possible so your event feels like a beautiful representation of who you both are as a couple, rather than just a pretty “Pinterest-worthy” wedding.

We have to say, we are pretty fast when it comes to communicating with our couples! Email is the best way to reach our team since we can’t always answer our phones when we are in meetings or on-site. You can typically expect a response within 24 hours unless you’re reaching out on a weekend when we’re executing an event or spending a little time with our families.

We do not charge our clients on an hourly basis. Instead, we assess your needs during the consultation phase and determine a flat fee that will cover the entirety of the planning process. Your price will never increase once a contract is agreed upon, and your fee includes your planning services as well as unlimited communication throughout the entire process.

Absolutely! We love sharing our insider knowledge about the Charlottesville wedding scene with our destination clients. Our goal is to give them an authentic, Virginia wedding experience without the hassle and research that’s often necessary when planning an event in an unfamiliar locale.

Plus, all of our planners use a custom, online planning system to ensure that the details of your wedding day are accounted for, allowing you to watch the progress of your event from anywhere in the world. Our clients tell us this tool makes destination wedding planning a breeze!

We also work with destination clients internationally, so be sure to inquire with us about your dream wedding location.

We plan events in and around Charlottesville, Richmond, and Washington DC–so pretty much all of Virginia! Some of our favorite venues include are Early Mountain Vineyard, the Clifton, the Willard and John Marshall Ballrooms. (If you’re interested in a full list of the venues we love to work at in the Charlottesville area, keep scrolling!)

And don’t worry if your venue is new to us, or if you’re planning an event at a private estate. While we understand that it can be scary trusting someone with your wedding if they haven’t worked at your venue before, rest assured, that doesn’t scare us at all! In fact, we love the challenge and fresh energy that we get from designing an event in a new space.
