Can't Recommend Brandi Enough!
I'm so glad I had Brandi at Next Chapter Weddings during my planning process! We did a raw space wedding at a family home in the country which required 1,000 different steps, vendors, and logistics we would have never thought of if it weren't for Brandi. She was a massive help and we got off every call talking about how glad we were to have her in our corner to handle so much of the planning and to keep us on track with what needed to be done. The day of, we had a couple unexpected challenges we couldn't have prepared for and Brandi handled them all before the guests or I even noticed. I knew working with a planner would be very helpful but looking back having her was completely essential to the success of the event as a whole and our ability to actually enjoy all our hard work on the day of.

Oh my goodness, Tarah! This is the sweetest review. I am so honored that you chose my team and I for your wedding day. It was incredibly special to hear about some of your families history and legacy. Everything about your wedding day was so thoughtful and authentic. I will always remember it.

Detailed-Oriented & Diligent!
From the moment we booked Next Chapter Weddings, we knew we were in good hands. The team was incredibly detail-oriented and diligent, making sure every aspect of our wedding day was perfectly executed. Their kind and personable communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, the Next Chapter team ensured my husband and I were well-fed and kept us in the loop on everything that was happening, so we could fully enjoy the moment. The end result was a gorgeous, high-value wedding that exceeded our wildest expectations. We are forever grateful for the Next Chapter team's exceptional service and support in making our special day truly perfect.

Nothing short of exceptional
Landry was nothing short of amazing. Kept in contact with us every step of the way. Made everything stress free. The day of the wedding, even with weather issues, was calm and made us feel relaxed. Landry over delivered big time.

I’d be lost without Brandi
Next Chapter Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Brandi's communication style was effective, clear, and confident throughout the entire planning process. Her thorough, thoughtful, and concise approach to our wedding details gave us great peace of mind. Brandi's warm personality, vibrant aura, and confident opinions were invaluable when I was unsure about certain decisions. She provided honest feedback, helped me find the perfect wedding earrings and bridal venue, and executed our wedding day flawlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planning experience.

We offer packages from Coordination to Full Service Wedding Planning, although our Partial Planning Package + Design is our most popular package. We also offer an amazing Décor Service Package and Faux Floral Collection to any of our Coordination and Planning Clients.

When you hire our team for any of our Wedding Planning Packages, we are hands on throughout the process of planning your event. That means that we help you find your vendors, design the over all aesthetic of your event, manage your budget, etc. If you book us for Coordination, you do all the planning. We step in after you have secured your Vendors and execute what you have planned on your own. (All Planning Packages also include Coordination.)

Yesssss!!! Whether it is us or another company, you absolutely should have a Wedding Planner (or at least a Wedding Coordinator). Before launching my company, I dipped my toes into the industry by working for a Wedding Venue where I observed MANY weddings. Many had Planners/Coordinators and many did not, but I am telling you it was like night and day when you compared the weddings that hired Planners/Coordinators from the ones that did not. The amount of things that went wrong and stress levels were massly different. It's an investment that you will not regret. Enjoy the day know you have Professionals on your side!

We love what we do and we are 100% your advocate. We genuinely care about your Wedding Day as much as you do. Plus, we are Certified and Insured with ample experience in the Industry!

It's never too early to book. I take that back...get engaged first! ;) As soon as you're ready to booking your Venue or Vendors, we are ready to help you. TIP: It's extremely helpful to have a budget in mind to build off of.

Zelle, Venmo, CashApp and Credit Card

Simply put: A Venue Coordinator's top priority is the venue. They ensure the rules are being followed. A Wedding Coordinator's top priority is their Client, YOU. A Wedding Coordinator executes your Wedding Day vision.

Yes- NCW Staffers are amazing! From Assistant Coordinators to the Décor Set-Up Crew, we have the staff to meet your Wedding Day needs.

Yes, buuuuut let's chat first! One of the perks of hiring a Wedding Planner or Coordinator is to have a Professional on your side that knows the best of the best Vendors. Working with our Recommended Vendors will be the best way to ensure that your day runs smoothly.

50% of your Package is due at the time of signing your contract. This allows us to put your event on our calendar and start the work of bringing your wedding day dreams to life. (This portion in nonrefundable.) 25% is due midway 25% is due one month prior to your event.
