HOW MUCH DOES A WEDDING PLANNER COST IN THE UK?

A Second Look:

PRICING BY SERVICE TYPE

Not every couple needs the same level of support. Some of you have been planning your dream wedding in your head for years and just need someone to make it happen. Others are starting from scratch and need a trusted partner for the entire journey. Understanding what each service tier costs in 2026 will help you decide exactly what's right for you. So how much does a wedding planner cost?

FULL WEDDING PLANNING

This is the comprehensive, end-to-end service. Your planner is involved from the moment you get engaged and handles everything from shortlisting venues and negotiating contracts, to designing your styling and coordinating every supplier on the day. For a full service luxury wedding planner in the UK, expect to invest between £6,000 and £15,000 or more. In London, high-end bespoke wedding planners often have minimum fees starting at £8,000. Fees are frequently calculated as 10 to 15 percent of your total confirmed wedding budget.

PARTIAL PLANNING

Partial planning sometimes called month of coordination is designed for couples who've handled the big bookings but need professional support to tie everything together. A wedding coordinator steps in around 60 to 90 days before the wedding, reviews your contracts, takes over all supplier communication, builds the final timeline, and manages the day. This typically ranges from £2,000 to £4,000 depending on complexity.

ON THE DAY COORDINATION

This is the most accessible service and it's incredibly popular. You plan the wedding yourself. Your coordinator takes over four to eight weeks before the day, creates the detailed running order, contacts all your suppliers, and manages everything on the day itself. In the UK, on the day coordination typically starts from around £1,000 to £2,500, with larger weddings or complex venues such as dry hire spaces attracting additional fees for extra staff.
