Design, Planning & Production

 
 

Ira and Lucy weaves together the artistry of design, the precision of planning, and the enchantment of production, crafting unforgettable weddings and events that captivate and delight.

 

Timelines

"The day flowed so smoothly and felt effortless and organic! It was such a blast!" We hear this from many of our couples and that "effortless", organic flow takes months of strategic planning. It's our goal that your wedding flows well, from the intimate quiet moments in preparation for your ceremony, to the welcoming cocktail hour, the applause filled grand entrance, the romance of your first dance, the memorable toasts to the unforgettable dance party! Our team creates a Master Production Schedule, connecting with each of your vendors to ensure all involved are set up to succeed. We take time to work with your photographer, catering, DJ and vendors to ensure this timeline accommodates all of your wedding needs, so we are each in sync. 

Since your family and wedding party don't need to know all the ins and outs of vendor load in, floral arrival and setup etc, we also create a specific Wedding Party Timeline. This is emailed in advance to your wedding party, immediate family and honored guests as applicable.


Budget Management 

We find, regardless of budget, whether $45,000 or $300,000... discussing the budget is one of the most stressful aspects of planning your wedding. Most couples and parents (if paying for the wedding) have no idea how much vendors cost or what is considered average or high for budget allotment.

We will guide you through those conversations and help manage your budget, payment schedules and more. We create a custom budget for you and track our budget estimates, actual costs, monitor payments and send reminders when balances are due. This helps relieve much of the stress that comes with planning your wedding.


Digital Design Studio

On your Digital Planning Dashboard, we customize design concepts unique to your wedding style. Categorized for easy reference and available to you anywhere you go with easy online access! Our couples can't get enough of this feature! We know you all love Pinterest, but this takes it a step further in allowing us to streamline all your and our ideas into your virtual planner dashboard. No need to have multiple applications for planning your wedding! 

We will reference these cohesive design elements in your decor planning meetings. Your other vendors LOVE us for this service we provide. So much of the planning is our communication with your vendor team in accurately relaying your vision for your wedding, these visual aids help tremendously so all vendors are in mutual understanding of the visual plan.


Comprehensive Design Plan

Once we have gathered concepts in the Digital Design Studio, our team then puts the visual elements together in your customized Style Board for a cohesive and comprehensive decor plan. This is one of our favorite parts of the planning process! We are just as anxious to share with you, as you are to finally see your own custom style board! We will present selected fabrics, textiles, and some of the table elements to help convey the decor plan.


2d and 3d Renderings

Custom Checklists

Ira and Lucy Wedding Planner

As professional planners, we are all about checklists and more checklists. Many of the initial inquiries from our clients' start with an email, "HELP! I don't know where to begin..." As part of our signature experience, you get privilege access to our fine tuned list of tasks that we will break up into what is completed by our team and by you and your fiancé and sometimes, your parents (mothers are often involved!).

We break down our comprehensive list by task, by date and specific timeframes that we need to work within. You'll be able to clearly know what tasks you need to focus on and which tasks can you relax about knowing we have it handled. You'll get email reminders and in-app notifications! Our real time checklist allows us to pop in at any time to review progress and allow us to look over each time we speak or meet. Checklists can also be synced to your digital calendar!


Guest Management + Seating

  • Heidi, you should win production wedding planner of the year! You thought of EVERYTHING, both before and during the execution of Pragna & Andrew's elaborate Hindu ceremony and Bollywood reception, and your calm cheerfulness throughout the many events and intricacies put everyone at ease.

  • No one ever would have guessed it was your first Indian wedding! You not only mastered the details but you embraced the spirit of each celebration in a way that brought joy to everyone around you. I can't imagine a better planner for this unique fusion endeavor, and I sincerely hope we have many more opportunities to collaborate!

    Celeste, Vee Violin Entertainment

  • Heidi, Jonnathan and their sweet family are amazing! Heidi is an incredibly talented designer who made our wedding weekend vision a reality. She was with us every step of the planning process but proved invaluable the week of the wedding, seamlessly adjusting plans to accommodate weather, handling relatives and creating a fun and relaxing environment that allowed us to soak in every moment of our wedding. We love Heidi, having her on our team was the best decision we made!

    Bride, Lexi

  • So many of our guests commented that they felt so taken care of throughout the weekend, which was important to us. When you hire Ira & Lucy, not only do you get a planner with impeccable taste and resourcefulness, but a team that cares about your guests and their experience as much as you do.

    Bride, Sherri

  • Their team is in a league of their own. I've never met a professional who continues to raise the bar as high stylistically as Ira & Lucy and yet still manages to keep their humility and graciousness.

  • From a photographers perspective, working with Ira & Lucy is as good as it gets...you know that you will have a beautiful wedding and you know you will be working with someone who you can trust. To be perfectly honest, Ira & Lucy is almost TOO good, working with other planners since I have found it difficult to find a company with the same level of integrity both stylistically and professionally. You know once you start with them you won't be able to use anyone else! Do yourself a favor and book Ira and Lucy. It will be the single best decision of your wedding day!

  • To say thankful is an understatement!! As someone who never dreamed of her big day, I had no idea where to start.... Heidi made sure that the few things we really wanted were there no matter what, and took my breath away. My husband and I were able to have a private dinner, during which we both said 'I never really wanted a wedding, but today, was the day I’m so so thankful we did!' Truly a wedding that screamed Jordan and! Our friends say it was the wedding of the year! Heidi and Jonnathan, thank you for making all the dreams I didn’t know I had come true and more! Y’all work your butts off and it shows, the attention to detail, the organization is unmatched. The Oord’s are forever thankful !

    Katie & Jordan

  • 5/5 Stars, highly recommend! Now to explain why. Ira and Lucy were hired for both my daughters wedding, one in 2017 and in 2024. My daughters are very different and had very different visions for their respective weddings. They chose different venues and Heidi made both their weddings beautiful and unique to them. She does not do a one size fits all, she listens and caters to what the bride wants. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. Her recommendations for vendors were perfect. Of course she makes it clear you can use any vendor you want but I found her recommendations to be perfect. Day of the wedding she makes sure everything runs smoothly with no awkward lulls.

  • Heidi and her husband Jonnathan are professional and an overall delight to work with. Working with them made the process seamless and actually relaxing so this mother of the bride could sit back and enjoy the day. Ira and Lucy is worth every penny to make wedding dreams a reality, not to infer it was costly, it was very reasonable. I almost wish I had more weddings to plan with her!
