How much does a wedding planner cost in Prague?
Prices, what is included and when it is worth it
On a first call, couples almost always ask me two things. Am I free on their date, and how much will it cost? I answer the second question straight away and honestly. So here it is for you too, in black and white.

Planner, coordinator or agency?
When you look for help with your wedding, you’ll come across all three words. They often mean almost the same thing, but not always. A wedding coordinator is often someone who mainly runs the wedding day.
I am a planner. Most of my work is planning and logistics. Who arrives when, what they need, who they depend on, and what happens if something doesn’t go to plan. Bigger weddings are often not one day but a whole weekend, from welcome drinks to the last dance. Over the years I have turned this into a clear process, so I know what needs to happen when.
A wedding agency usually means a team of people. I lead the planning personally, from our first call to the wedding day. On the day, I have one or two professional colleagues by my side.
Why prices vary so much
When you compare offers, you will find packages for a few hundred euros and full planning for several thousand. It looks like the same service at a different price. In fact, it is a completely different amount of work.
A lower figure is also often just the base price. Some agencies then charge by the hour or add extra items, such as additional coordination, so the final price ends up higher than it first looked. That is why it pays to compare what is actually included. In my offer you always see straight away what it covers, so you know what to expect.
Wedding day coordination means the planner takes over your finished plan and runs the day. Full wedding planning means months of work together: the venue, the supplier team, the budget, the concept, the timeline, contracts and guest communication. Design and concept add the whole look of the wedding, from colours and stationery to décor and small personal details.
Size matters too. A wedding for thirty guests in one place is a different project from a weekend for 150 guests from several countries, with welcome drinks, a garden ceremony and a party late into the night.
Guide prices
| Service | For whom | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Online consultation | Couples planning on their own who need advice | CZK 1,500 / hour |
| Small wedding or civil partnership | Intimate weddings and ceremonies | tailored to the scope |
| Wedding day coordination | Rarely and by agreement, at a venue I know well | CZK 50,000 |
| Full planning and coordination | Couples who want someone by their side who knows the market and leads the planning | most often CZK 100,000–150,000, more for multi-day and high-production weddings |
I tailor every collaboration to what you really need. The price depends mainly on the scope. A whole wedding weekend with pre-wedding events, many suppliers and design down to the last detail is a lot more work than a one-day wedding. Extra coordinators for a large wedding or travel outside Prague also play a role. After our first call, you will receive a concrete offer. You can see everything the service covers on my wedding planning services page.
What you get with me – and what AI can’t give you
Today anyone can ask AI for a checklist, a timeline or a list of suppliers. It is a good helper, so feel free to use it. But it won’t run your wedding. This is what you get with me:
A supplier team you can trust. This is something AI really can’t give you. I know suppliers personally and I know how they work on the wedding day itself. Whether they are efficient, how they treat your guests, how they turn up dressed, whether they are truly professional, kind and smiling. And whether they will click with you as people. From people like that, I put together a team that works brilliantly together. Social media is full of beautiful content and it is easy to get lost in it, because you can’t tell what is really good. With me, you can be sure it will be good. Then I agree everything with everyone, forget nothing and connect all the pieces so they fit together.
A wedding as an experience, not just one day. Often it is a whole weekend, from welcome drinks to the last dance. I design it so that everything flows naturally.
Design in one pair of hands. Concept, colours, flowers, stationery and the details on the table, all brought together around your story. Elegant and never kitschy.
All the logistics. Who arrives when, how guests get from place to place, what happens if it rains. I take care of it all, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
The certainty that everything is under control. At every stage you know what is happening and what comes next. You can look forward to the planning instead of dreading it.
A real person on site. On the wedding day I am there with you, with one or two professional colleagues. If something goes wrong, I solve it before you even notice. No app can do that for you.
Guest care. This matters to me more than anything. Wherever your guests have travelled from, they should feel welcome, know where to go and have a truly wonderful time. When they are looked after, you can relax and enjoy the day too.
Behind all this are 15+ years in weddings, more than 150 weddings and my years as a wedding manager at a five-star hotel. And because I deliberately take on fewer weddings a year, I give each one my full attention and host the whole day in English and Czech.
Who full planning is for
My brides are often very organised themselves. They lead teams and projects and like a clear plan. That’s exactly why they know they don’t want to plan their wedding blind.
They are not looking for someone to do it without them. They want a partner who knows the market and the individual suppliers. Someone who helps them decide, tells them what matters and what can wait, and guides them through the planning so it all makes sense.
One wedding often brings together many suppliers. The venue, catering, flowers, music, photo and video, furniture rentals, transport, hotels for guests. Each of them needs clear information at the right time and someone to lead them. That is my job. I make sure everything fits together and the whole weekend goes beautifully.
What full wedding planning includes
- finding the venue and visiting it together,
- building your supplier team and managing it from the first enquiry to the wedding day,
- setting the budget and keeping an eye on it,
- a concept and design that reflect the two of you,
- timeline, contracts, payments and the logistics of the whole wedding weekend,
- guest care, in several languages,
- coordination of the whole wedding day,
- hosting the wedding in English and Czech,
- solving the unexpected, often before you even notice.
The wedding day: the most work is the least visible
I keep the timeline, suppliers and guests under control and host the programme in English and Czech. Most of what I handle, your guests never notice. That’s how it should be. You live your day, I take care of the rest.
How much does a whole wedding in Prague cost?
The planner’s fee is only part of the budget. A well-planned wedding at a quality venue in Prague usually starts at around CZK 500,000 (about €20,000). Weddings with a focus on design, food and experienced suppliers most often range from CZK 700,000 to 2,000,000 (about €28,000–80,000).
I talk about the budget right at the start. If your vision and the numbers don’t match, I tell you straight away. Then we find together where it makes sense to invest and where to save, so that the wedding still feels like yours. Planning something more intimate?

Is a wedding planner worth it?
Honestly? Not always. If you have time, enjoy planning and the wedding is small, you can do it yourselves. A consultation may be all you need.
A planner is worth it especially when:
- you have a demanding job and little time,
- you are planning a whole wedding weekend or many suppliers,
- your guests come from several countries,
- you are planning from abroad,
- you want someone by your side who knows the market and helps you decide.
FAQ
How much does a wedding planner cost in Prague?
Full planning usually costs from around CZK 80,000 (about €3,200) to €7,000. My fee is most often CZK 100,000–150,000 (about €4,000–6,000), more for multi-day and high-production weddings. An online consultation is CZK 1,500 per hour.
How much does day-of coordination cost?
I offer wedding day coordination only rarely and by agreement. Usually once my full-planning dates are confirmed and I know which dates are still free. I take it on at venues I know well, after a consultation about the suppliers you are considering. It costs CZK 50,000 (about €2,000). The price includes two to three longer meetings before the wedding, so I can take everything over, ask all my questions and then coordinate the day calmly with my colleague.
What is the difference between a wedding planner, coordinator and agency?
Often just the name. What matters is the scope and the experience. A coordinator usually focuses on the wedding day. A planner leads the whole planning, the suppliers and the logistics. An agency usually means more people. I lead the planning personally and have one or two professional colleagues with me on the day.
When should we book a wedding planner?
Ideally about a year before the wedding. Last-minute weddings are possible too, usually three to six months ahead.
