Planner FAQ

Can Elena work directly from a planner timeline and production schedule?

Yes. Planner coordination is part of the process, with timing, setup, power, access, and guest-flow details aligned in advance.

Which service is usually the best fit for large luxury receptions?

Watercolor guest portraits are usually the strongest fit for broad guest interaction, while live wedding painting is the strongest fit for a single statement moment. Many planners choose the hybrid collection when they want both.

Where should planners start when comparing options for clients?

The fastest path is to review destination wedding services, then compare the dedicated pages for live painting and guest portraits before sending a planner inquiry.
