Our virtual wedding planning services are designed to clarify your vision, provide inspiration, align your budget, and outline next steps.

As planners and creatives with years of professional and personal experience in the event space, our goal is to empower you to move forward — whether you're DIY-ing or working with a team — so you can focus on the excitement of the milestone ahead!

Our Services & Approach

We offer a process designed to bridge the gap between a full DIY approach and hiring a traditional, full-service wedding planner—at a price point that’s accessible. Our streamlined method provides you with actionable guidance and a clear plan, so you can have everything you need in as little as two weeks from kickoff. This gives you the confidence and freedom to create your special day exactly as you envision it—without the overwhelm or financial burden.

“The Cura Studio team was fabulous to work with! They took our initial half-baked ideas for our wedding and were able to develop a clear and exciting plan with venue recommendations, design ideas, and industry tips and tricks. We’re so thankful for all their help in making our day truly special.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! We proudly serve all couples—regardless of gender, sexual orientation, identity, religion, or cultural background. Love is love, and we're here to support and celebrate every couple's unique story with respect, care, and joy.

  • We're not your typical full-service wedding planners.

We work virtually with couples across the U.S., providing expert support and customized resources to help make sure you're confident and organized as you kick off your planning journey.

However, as part of your customized wedding Blueprint, you’ll receive a clear, detailed timeline and planning tools to ensure you—and any trusted helpers or your day-of coordinator—are fully set up for success. Our goal is to empower you with the guidance and resources you need to confidently take the next steps in your planning journey.
