Planning a Catholic wedding is a special journey, and finding the right planner who can help you plan not only a beautiful celebration, but a meaningful sacrament can make all the difference!
As Catholic wedding photographers, we highly encourage our couples to consider working with a full service wedding planner or day of coordinator. Why? When there is not a delegated team in charge, the logistics of the day often fall on the photographer which can take our focus away from being fully attentive to your photos. Planners are incredible and offer endless wisdom, value, and assistance as you wedding day.
To help you navigate this important decision, here are some exceptional Catholic wedding planners in the United States who specialize in blending faith, tradition, and the beauty of our faith!
