Our Favorite Wedding Planners in Birmingham

Where business meets relaxation: the ultimate corporate retreat experience in Alabama

You can’t put a price on peace of mind.

No matter what the scale of the wedding you envision, there’s a reason that event design and planning is a career in its own right. You can cross every T and still face the unexpected, given the many moving parts that go into pulling off such an event.

But your engagement period doesn’t have to be riddled with endless to-do lists and troubleshooting mishaps. As for the wedding day itself? You should be fully immersed – champagne in hand – in celebrating the love of your life! That’s where the value of a good wedding planner comes in. Depending on your needs, a wedding planner can completely take the reins and create the whole experience inspired by your vision. No detail is left unattended, and no problem is left unsolved. Even wedding planners hire wedding planners for their wedding day.

Many of these management experts are actually total creatives at heart and also offer styling services if you haven’t quite nailed down your dream aesthetic. Or they can jump in for day-of coordination, and will more likely than not fill gaps and pre-empt potential issues you hadn’t even thought of! After all, your mind should be daydreaming about your honeymoon getaway, not vendor schedules.

It can be an overwhelming decision to hand over control – so we’ve curated a list of Alabama wedding planners we at Pursell Farms would trust with executing ours to perfection!

What sets these wedding planners in Birmingham apart?

Their experience

Missing rings, unruly weather, cake disasters, lost RSVPs – these wedding planners have seen it all. Experienced planners aren’t just satisfied by setting up the perfect event but managing the unexpected.

They save you money

These organization gods will delegate your budget strategically, maximizing every dollar’s worth. But their years logged in the industry also comes with connections. Their relationships with vendors and suppliers often mean excellent discounts passed onto you.

They’re flexible

Seasoned wedding planners are upfront, quick to recognize gaps in their ability to serve your vision, and land on the solution for getting there. They’re also known for open correspondence. This may be the most exciting event you’ll ever throw, and they know that. You’ll never be left hanging by an unanswered e-mail for days on end.

There’s a personal spark

Wedding planners wear many hats throughout the process outside their event management role – from friend to confidant, mediator to therapist. Their success is rooted in your trust and faith, so for them to shine in these capacities and more, there has to be good chemistry from the start.

Whether you’re tying the knot right here in Hamilton Place or celebrating out of town, give a call to these top wedding planners to take the stress out of your celebration.

Becky’s Brides

No matter when you want Becky and her team to take the reins – full-service planning or month-of coordination – their care and patience evolve into event precision. From her relationships with awesome vendors, an experienced accounting background, and fantastic taste, Becky and her team make the planning process look – and feel –  like a breeze.

Becky and her team have done plenty of weddings at Pursell Farms.

“There are VERY few venues that I would say are “yes venues” like you guys strive to be.  From a planning perspective, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.  I personally try to remember that even though I do this many times a year, this is a once in a lifetime day for my brides and I want to do everything possible to make it happen the way they’ve been envisioning it to happen.  In order to do that, it sometimes means last minute changes/last minute calls (like the weather this weekend) which I personally don’t love and know make things more difficult from a venue perspective.  But doing everything I possibly can to make a bride’s day be perfect really cannot happen without an accommodating venue, and the Pursell Farms is just that AND MORE.  THANK YOU for being patient and flexible and making this weekend the best it could be, despite the weather.  I am so proud of the wedding we produced this weekend, and can’t thank you enough for your hard work in making it happen.  Please pass along my gratitude to your staff.” -Becky Baker
