We review your bookings and remaining tasks, confirm vendor arrival times and agreed services, and prepare the event schedule. During your on-site coverage, we direct vendor arrivals, cue planned activities and handle logistical questions or issues.

You choose and book the venue and vendors. New vendor sourcing and décor design can be quoted separately. Physical decorating, serving, cleaning and teardown are not included.

Ready before guests arrive

We plan the details and get the space ready, then hand over to you or your venue team.

  • Venue and vendor arrangements, including catering and music
  • Final vendor confirmations and event timeline
  • Agreed décor setup and a clear handoff before the celebration
View package details

We help source and arrange your approved vendors, including catering and a band, musician or DJ, organize the schedule and set up the agreed decorations before guests arrive. You approve bookings and purchases, sign vendor agreements and pay vendors directly.

Your quote defines planning tasks, vendor categories, décor work, staffing, setup hours and the handoff time. We confirm who takes responsibility afterward. The host or venue team handles vendor arrivals after our departure, event activities, guest questions and issues during the celebration.

We do not stay to run the event. Event-day on-call support, serving, cleaning and teardown are not included. Venue, food, performer fees, decorations and rentals are separate costs.

Help from the beginning

We help you make the choices, organize the details and coordinate the day.

What’s included
  • Event concept and budget tracking
  • Venue and vendor sourcing, including catering
  • Band, musician or DJ sourcing and booking support

We establish your priorities and budget, compare suitable venues and vendors, help arrange approved bookings, develop a décor plan and track payment deadlines. We confirm vendors, build the final timeline and coordinate the agreed event-day coverage.

Your proposal defines meetings, vendor categories, research options and revisions. You approve vendors and purchases. Physical decorating, serving, cleaning and teardown are not included.

Event Coordination and Full Planning include coverage during the celebration. Planning & Setup ends at the agreed handoff before guests arrive. Outside event costs are separate.

Optional extras

Only need a band, musician or DJ? Ask about $150 music sourcing. Music sourcing is included in Full Planning and Planning & Setup; performer fees are separate. Other individual planning help is quoted on request.

Coverage, outside costs and booking details

Website prices are estimates. Before booking, we confirm the scope, staffing, meetings, research and revision limits, on-site start/end times and any extra-hour or travel charges. Photography delivery and staffing are agreed before booking, including when coordination is also selected.

Décor setup is physical decorating, separate from coordinating vendor arrivals and the schedule. Supplies, rentals, furniture moving, catering service, cleaning and teardown are separate unless specifically agreed.

You approve outside purchases in advance. Vendor contracts and payments normally remain directly between you and the vendor. Approved supplies purchased by Milestones are funded in advance.

Planning it yourself? The $99 Party Plan.

One personalized written plan with ideas, a budget breakdown, shopping checklist and timeline. You handle the bookings and event.

What the $99 includes

For one personal celebration. Written plan only; no revisions, vendor bookings, ongoing support or on-site work.

A few useful details

Can you plan and decorate without staying for the party?

Yes. Choose Planning & Setup. We arrange the agreed vendors and details, set up your décor and hand over to the host or venue team before guests arrive. The quote defines the work and setup hours. We do not remain to run the event or return for teardown unless separately agreed.

How does hiring a band work?

Tell us your performer budget, preferred music, event date and location, and performance length. We find suitable options, check availability and quotes, and help arrange your approved booking. You sign the performer’s agreement and pay their deposit and balance directly under their terms. We confirm equipment, travel and other quoted charges before you approve.

Our music-sourcing fee is $150 for a standalone request or as separately agreed help with Event Coordination. It is included in Full Event Planning and Planning & Setup. Performer fees are always separate.

What comes with the $150 slideshow?

An MP4 video made from up to 30 supplied photos, simple transitions, up to 10 short captions and one revision. Available on its own or with a package. Delivery timing is agreed before booking. Screen rental, projection and on-site playback are separate.

Do I need a package for one planning task?

No. Ask about music sourcing or describe the task you need help with. We will quote a defined piece of work rather than require you to buy a full package.

Where do you work?

Syracuse and Central New York, including nearby communities and parts of the Finger Lakes. We confirm availability and any travel charge before booking.

What is the Founding 10 offer?

The first 10 qualifying booked events can choose one eligible complimentary extra in exchange for permission to photograph the event and an honest review afterward: 1 hour of photography with any event package, or décor design or a budget tracker with Event Coordination. Availability and scope are confirmed in your proposal. Included services are never charged again. Outside purchases are separate.
