What Is Included in a Full-Service Wedding Planning Package in Kenya?

Planning a wedding in Kenya involves much more than choosing a venue, booking a photographer and selecting wedding decorations. A professionally planned wedding can involve venue selection, budgeting, décor, catering, entertainment, photography, videography, transportation, guest management, accommodation, invitations, wedding equipment, timelines, vendor coordination and wedding-day management.

This is why many couples choose a full-service wedding planning package in Kenya rather than trying to coordinate every supplier themselves.

A full-service wedding planner is essentially responsible for taking the wedding from the initial planning stage through to the wedding day and, depending on the package, post-wedding coordination.

But what exactly is included?

The answer depends on the wedding planner and package. Some wedding planners focus mainly on planning and coordination, while others provide a more comprehensive service that combines wedding planning, décor, rentals, logistics, photography, videography and wedding-day management.

This guide explains what you should expect from a full-service wedding planning package in Kenya, what may be included, what is usually charged separately and how to determine whether a package is genuinely full-service.

---

What Does “Full-Service Wedding Planning” Mean?

A full-service wedding planning package generally means that the wedding planner is involved throughout the wedding planning process rather than only appearing on the wedding day.

The planner helps coordinate the wedding from the early planning stage through execution.

This can involve:

Wedding concept

↓

Budget

↓

Venue

↓

Suppliers

↓

Décor

↓

Guest management

↓

Wedding timeline

↓

Wedding-day coordination

↓

Setup

↓

Reception

↓

Teardown

The exact scope depends on the wedding planner.

Some full-service planners primarily provide planning and coordination, while others provide an integrated service that combines planning with wedding décor, furniture, tents, lighting, staging and other event equipment.

---

What Is the Difference Between Full-Service Wedding Planning and Day-of Coordination?

This is one of the most important distinctions for couples planning a wedding in Kenya.

Full-Service Wedding Planning

A full-service wedding planner may work with you for several months before your wedding.

They can help with:

• Budget
• Venue
• Suppliers
• Décor
• Design
• Guest management
• Timelines
• Contracts
• Logistics
• Wedding-day execution

Day-of Wedding Coordination

A day-of coordinator generally becomes heavily involved much closer to the wedding.

Their main responsibility is ensuring that everything you’ve already planned actually happens correctly.

For example:

• Vendors arrive
• Décor is installed
• Ceremony starts on time
• Guests are directed
• Speeches follow the programme
• Photography follows the schedule
• Catering runs according to plan
• Reception transitions happen smoothly

If you want someone to help you build the wedding from the beginning, full-service planning is the more comprehensive option.

---

What Is Included in a Full-Service Wedding Planning Package?

A genuinely comprehensive package can cover the following areas.

---

1. Initial Wedding Consultation

The process usually begins with a consultation between the couple and wedding planner.

The planner needs to understand:

• Wedding date
• Number of guests
• Wedding location
• Budget
• Wedding style
• Colour scheme
• Ceremony type
• Reception requirements
• Cultural requirements
• Religious requirements
• Entertainment preferences
• Photography requirements
• Videography requirements

This meeting establishes the foundation for the wedding.

---

2. Wedding Concept and Theme Development

A wedding planner can help transform your ideas into a coherent wedding concept.

For example:

• Classic wedding
• Luxury wedding
• Garden wedding
• Beach wedding
• Rustic wedding
• Traditional Kenyan wedding
• Modern minimalist wedding
• Destination wedding
• Cultural wedding
• Outdoor wedding
• Ballroom wedding

The planner can help coordinate:

• Colours
• Flowers
• Furniture
• Lighting
• Table settings
• Stationery
• Backdrops
• Stage design
• Entrance décor

The objective is to ensure that the wedding looks like one coordinated event rather than a collection of unrelated suppliers.

---

3. Wedding Budget Planning

Budget management is one of the most important components of wedding planning.

A planner can help divide the available budget between:

• Venue
• Catering
• Décor
• Photography
• Videography
• Entertainment
• Wedding attire
• Transportation
• Accommodation
• Invitations
• Cake
• Flowers
• Lighting
• Sound
• Furniture
• Staffing

The planner can then help monitor expenditure throughout the planning process.

---

4. Venue Selection and Coordination

Depending on the package, the wedding planner can help you:

• Identify suitable venues
• Compare venues
• Visit venues
• Assess venue capacity
• Check venue facilities
• Review access requirements
• Discuss setup times
• Coordinate venue logistics

The venue needs to be assessed for:

• Guest capacity
• Parking
• Catering facilities
• Power
• Restrooms
• Lighting
• Accessibility
• Décor restrictions
• Sound restrictions
• Setup and teardown windows

A good wedding planner should understand that the venue affects almost every other part of the wedding.

---

5. Wedding Vendor Sourcing

A full-service wedding planner can help identify and coordinate suppliers.

Potential vendors include:

• Caterers
• Florists
• Photographers
• Videographers
• DJs
• MCs
• Live bands

• Cake designers
• Makeup artists
• Hair stylists
• Bridal shops
• Suit suppliers
• Transport providers
• Invitation designers
• Lighting companies
• Sound companies
• Tent suppliers
• Furniture suppliers
• Security
• Ushers

Some planners have established vendor networks, while others allow couples to select their own suppliers.

---

6. Vendor Negotiation

Wedding vendors can involve significant expenditure.

A wedding planner can help negotiate:

• Pricing
• Deliverables
• Payment schedules
• Setup times
• Cancellation terms
• Overtime
• Transport
• Additional services

This can help the couple understand exactly what they are paying for.

---

7. Vendor Contract Management

A comprehensive wedding planner can also help organize supplier agreements.

This can include confirming:

• Date
• Time
• Location
• Deliverables
• Payment terms
• Setup requirements
• Cancellation policies
• Overtime charges
• Responsibilities

Having these details documented can prevent misunderstandings later.

---

8. Wedding Décor

Wedding décor is one of the most visible components of a wedding.

Depending on the package, décor can include:

• Entrance décor
• Floral arrangements
• Ceremony backdrop
• Reception backdrop
• Table centrepieces
• Chair décor
• Table linens
• Table settings
• Candles
• Wedding signage
• Welcome signage

Some full-service wedding packages combine planning with their own décor and rental inventory, while others coordinate external décor vendors.

---

9. Wedding Tents and Furniture

For outdoor and garden weddings, the wedding package may include or coordinate:

• Tents
• Chairs
• Tables
• Lounge furniture
• Cocktail tables
• Bridal table
• Guest tables
• Buffet tables
• Cake table
• Gift table

Large wedding planners may offer their own inventory, while other planners hire equipment from separate rental companies.

Always ask:

Are the wedding rentals included in the package price or quoted separately?

---

10. Wedding Stage and Backdrop

A wedding stage is usually one of the focal points of the reception.

Depending on the package, this can include:

• Bridal stage
• Stage backdrop
• Floral backdrop
• Custom branding
• Couple’s names
• Monogram
• Lighting
• Decorative structures

The stage should be designed to work well with the photography and videography setup.

---

11. Wedding Dance Floor

A wedding planner can coordinate or provide:

• Wooden dance floors
• LED dance floors
• Monogrammed dance floors
• Custom printed floors

The dance floor should be sized according to:

• Number of guests
• Venue
• Stage
• Expected dancing
• Reception layout

---

12. Wedding Lighting

Wedding lighting can dramatically affect the atmosphere of a reception.

It can include:

• Stage lighting
• Ambient lighting
• Fairy lights
• Uplighting
• Chandeliers
• Decorative lighting
• Dance-floor lighting
• Spotlighting
• Entrance lighting

Lighting is also important for photography and videography.

---

13. Wedding Sound and PA System

Depending on the package, a wedding planner can coordinate:

• PA system
• Wireless microphones
• Speakers
• Mixers
• DJ equipment
• Stage monitors
• Microphones for speeches

A wedding planner may provide the sound system directly or coordinate a professional sound supplier.

---

14. DJ and Entertainment Coordination

Entertainment can include:

• DJ
• MC
• Live band
• Acoustic musicians
• Cultural performers
• Dancers
• Saxophonist
• Violinist

A full-service planner can help coordinate entertainment around the wedding programme.

For example:

→ Entrance song

Dinner

→ Background entertainment

Speeches

→ Microphone and music cues

First dance

→ Special music

Party

---

15. Wedding Photography Coordination

Photography is one of the most important wedding services.

A planner can help coordinate:

• Wedding photographer
• Engagement photography
• Pre-wedding photography
• Family portraits
• Bridal party portraits
• Ceremony coverage
• Reception coverage
• Group photographs

However, there is an important distinction:

Photography coordination is not necessarily the same as photography itself.

Some wedding packages include photography.

Others only coordinate an external photographer.

You should confirm this before signing a contract.

---

16. Wedding Videography Coordination

The same applies to wedding videography.

A full-service planner can coordinate:

• Wedding videographer
• Cinematic wedding film
• Ceremony coverage
• Reception coverage
• Drone footage
• Same-day edit
• Wedding highlights
• Full wedding documentary

If videography is included in the package, confirm:

• Hours of coverage
• Drone coverage
• Final video length
• Highlight video
• Full ceremony
• Full speeches
• Delivery format

---

17. Wedding Catering Coordination

Food is a major component of wedding planning.

A planner may help with:

• Caterer selection
• Menu development
• Food tasting
• Guest dietary requirements
• Buffet layout
• Service staff
• Drinks
• Table service
• Dessert
• Cake coordination

Some wedding planners do not provide catering themselves but coordinate the caterer selected by the couple.

---

18. Wedding Cake Coordination

A wedding planner can coordinate:

• Cake designer
• Cake tasting
• Cake design
• Cake delivery
• Cake table
• Cake cutting
• Cake photography

The cake itself may or may not be included in a full-service wedding package.

---

19. Wedding Invitations and Stationery

Depending on the planner, stationery services can include:

• Save-the-date cards
• Wedding invitations
• RSVP cards
• Menus
• Table numbers
• Place cards
• Seating charts
• Wedding programmes
• Welcome signs
• Directional signage
• Thank-you cards

Digital invitations may also be coordinated.

---

20. Guest RSVP Management

For larger weddings, guest management can become complicated.

A planner can help manage:

• Invitations
• RSVPs
• Guest lists
• Seating arrangements
• Dietary requirements
• VIP guests
• Family groups
• Special guests

This becomes particularly useful for weddings with guests travelling from outside Nairobi or from other countries.

---

21. Guest Accommodation

For destination weddings and large weddings, a planner can help coordinate accommodation.

This can involve:

• Hotel recommendations
• Room blocks
• Guest lists
• Check-in information
• Transport
• Airport transfers

This is particularly useful for destination weddings in places such as:

• Diani
• Mombasa
• Naivasha
• Nanyuki
• Maasai Mara
• Watamu
• Malindi

---

22. Wedding Transportation

Transportation coordination can include:

• Bridal car
• Groom’s transportation
• Family transport
• Guest buses
• Airport transfers
• Hotel transfers
• Shuttle services

The planner can create a transportation schedule so that everyone arrives at the correct location on time.

---

23. Bridal Party Coordination

A wedding planner can coordinate:

• Bridesmaids
• Groomsmen
• Parents
• Flower girls
• Ring bearers
• Ushers
• Family representatives

This is particularly useful on the wedding day when multiple people need to know where they should be and when.

---

24. Ceremony Planning

The ceremony requires its own detailed schedule.

Planning can include:

• Processional
• Bridal entrance
• Music
• Seating
• Ceremony décor
• Readings
• Vows
• Signing
• Photography positions
• Videography positions
• Recessional

The planner can coordinate with the officiant and other participants.

---

25. Reception Planning

The reception can include a detailed programme covering:

• Grand entrance
• Introductions
• Speeches
• Prayer
• Dinner
• Cake cutting
• First dance
• Parent dances
• Entertainment
• Games
• Bouquet activities
• Dancing
• Closing

A professional planner ensures that the programme remains organized while allowing flexibility when necessary.

---

26. Wedding Day Timeline

One of the most valuable things a wedding planner creates is a master wedding-day timeline.

For example:

7:00 AM – Décor setup

9:00 AM – Photography begins

11:00 AM – Bridal preparations

1:00 PM – Ceremony

2:30 PM – Family photographs

3:30 PM – Reception begins

4:00 PM – Couple’s entrance

5:00 PM – Speeches

6:00 PM – Dinner

7:00 PM – Cake cutting

7:30 PM – First dance

8:00 PM – Entertainment

10:00 PM – Dancing

The actual timeline depends on the wedding.

---

27. Wedding-Day Coordination

This is where the planner becomes particularly valuable.

On the wedding day, the planner can oversee:

• Vendors
• Décor
• Catering
• Photography
• Videography
• Entertainment
• Guest arrival
• Ceremony
• Reception
• Timeline
• Setup
• Teardown

The goal is to ensure the couple does not have to spend their wedding day calling suppliers and solving logistical problems.

---

28. Wedding Setup and Teardown

A full-service package may include professional setup and dismantling.

Setup can include:

• Tents
• Chairs
• Tables
• Décor
• Flowers
• Stage
• Backdrop
• Dance floor
• Lighting
• Sound
• Signage

After the wedding, the team can coordinate:

• Equipment collection
• Décor removal
• Furniture collection
• Venue cleanup coordination
• Supplier departure

---

29. Emergency Problem-Solving

Things can go wrong at weddings.

Examples include:

• Rain
• Vendor delays
• Power failure
• Missing equipment
• Traffic
• Late guests
• Weather changes
• Technical problems
• Last-minute programme changes

A wedding planner provides someone whose responsibility is to solve these issues rather than leaving the couple or their family to handle them.

---

30. Post-Wedding Coordination

Depending on the package, the planner may also coordinate:

• Equipment collection
• Vendor payments
• Venue handover
• Lost property
• Final supplier communication
• Outstanding deliveries

This brings the wedding project to a proper conclusion.

---

Is Photography Included in a Full-Service Wedding Planning Package?

Not necessarily.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions about full-service wedding planning.

A planner may coordinate your photographer without actually providing photography.

Therefore, ask:

Does the package include the photographer, or does it only include photography coordination?

If photography is included, confirm:

• Number of photographers
• Coverage hours
• Engagement shoot
• Edited images
• Albums
• Prints
• Delivery timeline

---

Is Wedding Videography Included?

Again, not necessarily.

Some wedding companies offer integrated:

Planning + Photography + Videography

while others provide:

Planning + Coordination

and leave photography and videography to separate vendors.

For couples who want everything under one provider, an integrated wedding package can be much easier to manage.

---

Is Catering Included in Full-Service Wedding Planning?

Catering may or may not be included.

Some planners coordinate external caterers.

Others have catering partners.

Others provide catering as part of a complete wedding package.

Always ask:

• Is food included?
• Are drinks included?
• Is service staff included?
• Is tableware included?
• Is cake included?
• Is food tasting included?

---

Is the Wedding Venue Included?

Usually, the wedding venue is not automatically included simply because you are buying a full-service planning package.

Some wedding planners may help you source and negotiate a venue.

However, the actual venue hire may remain a separate cost.

Never assume “full-service” means “everything is included.”

---

What Is Usually Not Included in a Full-Service Wedding Planning Package?

Depending on the planner, the following may be charged separately:

• Wedding venue
• Catering
• Alcohol and beverages
• Wedding dress
• Groom’s suit
• Wedding rings
• Marriage fees
• Officiant fees
• Photography
• Videography
• Entertainment
• Guest accommodation
• Guest transportation
• Bridal transportation
• Generator
• Additional décor
• Premium flowers
• Custom structures
• Fireworks
• Special effects
• Destination travel
• Honeymoon arrangements

This is why couples should always request an itemized wedding quotation.

---

What Is the Difference Between a Wedding Planner and a Wedding Decorator?

A wedding planner manages the wedding as a whole.

A wedding decorator focuses primarily on the visual appearance of the event.

A planner may coordinate:

• Budget
• Venue
• Vendors
• Timeline
• Guests
• Logistics
• Ceremony
• Reception
• Décor

A decorator may focus on:

• Flowers
• Backdrops
• Centrepieces
• Furniture
• Draping
• Stage
• Lighting
• Entrance décor

Some Kenyan companies combine both functions into integrated wedding planning packages.

---

What Is the Difference Between Wedding Planning and Wedding Coordination?

Wedding planning

Happens throughout the months leading to the wedding.

Wedding coordination

Focuses on making sure the plans are executed correctly.

A couple planning a wedding themselves may hire a coordinator closer to the wedding date.

A couple wanting someone to handle most of the planning can hire a full-service wedding planner.

---

How Much Does a Full-Service Wedding Planning Package Cost in Kenya?

There is no single nationwide price.

The cost depends on:

• Number of guests
• Wedding location
• Planning duration
• Number of suppliers
• Décor requirements
• Equipment
• Catering
• Photography
• Videography
• Transportation
• Complexity
• Destination requirements

A basic wedding coordination service can cost considerably less than a complete wedding production involving décor, furniture, tents, lighting, sound and multiple vendors.

For this reason, couples should avoid comparing wedding planners purely by the headline package price.

Compare what the price actually includes.

---

What Should a Full-Service Wedding Package Include?

For couples looking for a genuinely comprehensive package, I recommend looking for these major categories:

Service	Should be addressed?
Initial consultation	Yes
Wedding concept	Yes
Budget planning	Yes
Budget tracking	Yes
Venue assistance	Yes
Vendor sourcing	Yes
Vendor coordination	Yes
Vendor contracts	Ideally
Wedding décor	Depending on package
Flowers	Depending on package
Tables and chairs	Depending on package
Tents	Depending on venue
Stage	Depending on package
Dance floor	Depending on package
Lighting	Depending on package
Sound	Depending on package
Photography	Must be specified
Videography	Must be specified
Catering	Must be specified
Cake	Must be specified
Entertainment	Must be specified
Guest management	Ideally
RSVP management	Ideally
Transportation	Depending on package
Accommodation	Depending on package
Wedding-day coordination	Yes
Setup	Yes
Teardown	Ideally
Emergency coordination	Yes

The most important thing is clarity.

---

How Can You Tell If a Wedding Package Is Truly Full-Service?

Ask the wedding planner to answer these questions:

Who handles the vendors?

Who manages the budget?

Who coordinates the venue?

Who designs the wedding?

Who manages the wedding timeline?

Who supervises setup?

Who manages suppliers on the wedding day?

Who handles emergencies?

Who coordinates the ceremony?

Who coordinates the reception?

Who handles teardown?

Are photography and videography included?

Is catering included?

Is décor included?

Are tents and furniture included?

If the answer to most of these questions is yes, you are likely dealing with a genuinely comprehensive service.

---

Why Hire a Full-Service Wedding Planner in Kenya?

Planning a wedding can become a full-time project.

There may be dozens of suppliers involved.

A full-service wedding planner gives the couple a single point of coordination.

Instead of the bride or groom calling:

• Caterer
• Photographer
• Videographer
• DJ
• Decorator
• Florist
• Venue
• Cake designer
• Transport provider
• Sound company

the wedding planner can coordinate many of these relationships.

This can significantly reduce the amount of logistical work required from the couple.

---

Is Full-Service Wedding Planning Worth It?

For many couples, it can be.

It becomes particularly valuable when:

• You have a large guest list
• You have multiple venues
• You have a destination wedding
• You are busy with work
• You live outside Kenya
• You have many suppliers
• You want a highly customized wedding
• You are planning an outdoor wedding
• You want professional décor
• You want someone to manage the wedding day

The value is not simply in decoration.

It is in coordination, time management, logistics and problem-solving.

---

• Diani Beach

If your wedding is in another county, provide the venue and date before requesting a final quotation.
