Your Search for the best Boston wedding planner ends here.
Does the idea of planning a wedding stress you out?
Take a Deep Breath. You're in good hands, we've got this!
Contagious Events is an award-winning event management firm, but we're not big on trophies... we're big on client connections. That's why we're really proud our clients have called us a god-send organization, wedding Jesus, calm, creative, energetic and experienced. You can read more of what our clients say about us on The Knot.Â
With more than a decade of experience in event design and management, our team is on hand to provide first-in-class service to each of our clients. Everything we do, we believe weddings and events should be unique. We believe in custom, bespoke wedding experiences. We believe in doing things that haven't been done before. The way we do this is by identifying our clients' design preferences and personal style and finding ways to inject that into the wedding. We encourage our clients to be unapologetically themselves throughout the entire process, but especially on the wedding day. The result is an amazing guest experience at inspired weddings. We can't wait to plan yours.
You should know that we do things a little differently:
We bill based on a flat-fee structure.
Simply put, that means you only pay the quote you're provided. We don't bill hourly, we don't charge for overtime, and you'll never see any hidden fees.
We do not have an exclusive vendor list.
We look at wedding vendors like match-making: we only want to recommend vendors based on whether or not they're a good fit for the vision of your day. While it's true that we've built some amazing connections over the years and have vendors we love working with, we know that they will not be the right fit for every couple - and truthfully - not every couple will be the right fit for them. That's why we don't believe in the concept of vendor shortlists.
We totally plan on giving your flowers away.
At the end of every wedding, once all your guests have departed, we'll salvage the leftover centerpieces, repurpose them and deliver to a local hospice nurse network that helps get your wedding flowers in patients' rooms.
Full Service Wedding Planning
Starting at $14,500
It’s official. You’re finally engaged (with the ring to prove it). You’ve been waiting for this moment long enough and now that the urge to yell I’m engaged! from atop of Mount Rushmore has started to subside, it’s time to start planning.

We'll create a planning portal to keep everything wedding-related in one place, accessible from anywhere you have an internet connection. Our clients use this portal to save inspiration photos, plan their budget, organize vendor agreements, schedule meetings and important dates, and more.
We know there are a lot of wedding checklists out there: we'll supply you with one master checklist, with monthly assignments so you'll never feel like you're forgetting something. The best part? You can assign certain tasks on your checklist to your planner!
We will work with you to create a customized wedding budget that takes into account your priorities and vision for your wedding day.
After meeting with you and getting a sense for your overall wedding design wishes, we'll create a list of potential venues for us to check out together.
Once the venue is booked, we'll start assembling your wedding team: starting the major vendors. Contagious Events never accepts commissions or kickbacks from vendors, so we'll be transparent in finding the best vendors for your day.
Sometimes being a wedding planner is a lot like being a real estate agent. We won't give up until we find the right home for your wedding celebration!
We can't promise we'll score you the deal of a lifetime, but we can guarantee you'll get a comprehensive agreement and a fair price.
We're not sticklers for etiquette, but we like to make sure our clients know what the "rules" are before we decide to bend them. We'll help you navigate the wedding etiquette waters and make sure you don't feel like you missed something big.
It's easy to pick out things you like... putting it all together into one cohesive design that actually works is another thing. We'll help you design a swoon-worthy wedding that'll look great in your photo album.
We'll help you with the design, printing and mailing of your invitations. There are a lot of tricks in this aspect of wedding planning, if not done properly it could end up costing you dearly.
You know what's the worst? Getting a note that your package "couldn't" be delivered because no one was home to sign for it. To avoid that, have your wedding-related packages shipped to our office: we'll sign for them, let you know when they've safely arrived and schedule a convenient time for you to pick them up.
We'll take care of organizing your hotel room block arrangement. One less thing for you to stress over!
Working with your budget and design, we'll facilitate coordinating the perfect food & beverage for your wedding day, matching you with the perfect caterers to create your wedding menu.
We'll design, create and maintain your wedding website so you can have a destination for your guests to check your registry, get important wedding updates and lodging information.
We'll establish and maintain communication with all your vendors so nothing is lost in translation and everyone is on the same page.
We'll create vendor-specific checklists so you know all the right questions to ask when searching for your team of wedding vendors.
Using your planning portal, we'll coordinate and attend vendor meetings, as needed. We're also happy to host the meetings at our office, conveniently located across from South Station.
We'll create a detailed timeline for you and your wedding party so you'll know exactly what's happening behind the scenes while you get ready. We also create production schedules for all the vendors, which are provided in advance so everyone knows what's happening, when. Fellow wedding vendors have actually told us we should "teach a class on wedding timelines" - it's something we take pretty seriously.
We'll contact each of your vendors one week before the wedding to make sure all final details are mapped out and understood.
We'll walk you through your timeline and make sure we're on-site to greet vendors as they arrive, and make sure they've left the venue in good shape at the end of the night.
We'll guide & direct your wedding party on the day of your wedding to make sure everyone is where they need to be. Our clients and their wedding parties appreciate having us as a "point person" throughout the wedding to assist with any last minute requests.
Although we put a lot of care into creating your wedding day timeline, we're aware that sometimes things don't go perfectly on time. We'll monitor your timeline throughout the wedding to make sure we stay on track and avoid any major problems (like your guests not being fed in time).
Many venues won't allow their staff to touch wedding cards and gifts - we don't think your family should be responsible for moving those items to a safe place, so we'll take care of that for you.
Our clients can have RSVPs sent directly to our office - we'll record responses in your online planning portal on a weekly basis and return the original cards to you.
We'll facilitate your wedding rehearsal with your wedding party so everyone knows what to do when the moment comes. Typically this takes only an hour, but we schedule two hours of our day to make sure there's plenty of time to calm nerves and answer any questions.
Although we don't attend the actual dinner, we will coordinate and finalize the details for your rehearsal dinner with your friends & family.
We'll make sure the chairs are lined up and the aisle is clear. Any other details that need to be handled (signage, reserved seating, direction to other vendors) will be taken care of by our team.
From escort cards to the cake table and wedding favors, we'll make sure your reception space is set up properly for your guests' arrival.
Why two? Well because sometimes your guests will need assistance with something and we want to be sure someone is always available to take care of you!
We'll greet your vendors, assist with load-in and make sure they have everything they need for a successful wedding experience.
Many vendors will have a balance due on your wedding day. Instead of carrying checks around all night, you can hand them to our team and we'll handle all final payments.
If your vendors went above and beyond, you may want to offer a gratuity. We'll share best practices, and take care of distributing them so you can focus on celebrating.
Once the dust has settled, there will most likely be some lost and found items or remaining details - we'll scheduled a convenient time to go over everything and recap the wedding.
If you're planning on having a wedding brunch, we'll help coordinate those details and one coordinator will be on-hand to help guide and direct guests.
If you think you'd like to share the love after the wedding is over, we'll work with your photographer to submit your wedding photos to local and national blogs. Please note: while we can make our best effort, ultimately the decision to publish a wedding is entirely up to the publications and we cannot guarantee results.

Month of Coordination
Starting at $4,500
Sometimes mom ends up being the director, the florist and the planner. She tells guests where to sit, the wedding party when to walk down the aisle, and she might even make her debut as a DJ. It might work for some weddings. But not yours.
