10 hours is the day-of cap on every tier below Full Service, and Partial Planning does not begin until three months before the wedding. Those two terms define the Leigh & Co. ladder, which runs six rungs from Wedding Day Management to White Glove. The New York based company serves NYC, Long Island, Montauk and Connecticut. No prices are published on the Long Island page.
leighandcoevents.com/long-islandWedding Day Management gives up to 10 hours of day-of coordination and requires all planning to be finished before hand-off. Partial Planning starts three months out and requires vendors to already be booked. Planning and Design adds two design calls and vendor guidance with the same 10 hour day. Mini Full Service runs a six-month timeline with two design calls and 10 hours on the day. Full Service brings monthly meetings, unlimited communication and unlimited day-of hours. White Glove adds venue scouting, access to the CEO, welcome-bag creation and unlimited day-of hours. Design consultations and subscription-based support are also listed.
A Long Island wedding with a church ceremony, a drive to the reception and a full catering hall slot can pass 10 hours from first vendor arrival to last dance. On the four lower tiers, hours past 10 are outside the contract. Ask what an eleventh hour costs. The three month start on Partial Planning also means the planner is not there for vendor selection, which is what many couples want help with.
No fees appear on the Long Island page we read. Service covers NYC, Long Island, Montauk and Connecticut, and nationwide by arrangement. No Long Island venues are named. The tiering rewards a couple who knows exactly how much help they want. Anyone expecting an unlimited day from a month-of planner should read the 10 hour line twice.
Every package, from Month Of up to Full Design and Planning, includes a lead planner plus an assistant on the wedding day.
Two months out is when the planner steps in on the tier Rita Ellis calls 2-Month Management, a middle rung between day-of coordination and partial planning.
Planning fees run $25,000 to $50,000 and up, and the wedding budget tiers the site lists start at $200,000 and climb past $700,000.
