VowComplete Engagement confirmation and decision schedule Planning Foundation · from USD 1,200
Planning Foundation: Lake Como, 12 September 2027
What VowComplete does at this level, what stays with you, and the eleven dates that decide the wedding.
You have bought the foundation, which is the plan and the shortlists rather than the management. That is the right starting level and it means you book and manage every supplier yourselves. Clause 02 is the line, and clause 04 is what it would cost to move it later.
Planning Foundation for 12 September 2027 at Lake Como. You receive the full plan, the budget model, shortlists of three per category and the decision schedule. VowComplete does not contact, contract, chase or manage any supplier at this level, and eleven months out that is a real amount of work for you. Clause 04 says what upgrading costs and when it stops being possible.

What you get
The foundation, in five parts
| Deliverable | Detail | When |
|---|---|---|
| The plan | Every task from now to the day, sequenced, with owners | Within 3 weeks |
| The budget model | By category, with Lake Como benchmarks and a contingency line | Within 3 weeks |
| Venue shortlist | Three, visited or verified, with the rules that actually constrain you | Within 4 weeks |
| Supplier shortlists | Three each: catering, floral, music, photo, transport, hair, cake, stationery | Within 6 weeks |
| Decision schedule | Eleven dated decisions, clause 03 | Within 3 weeks |
Everything is yours to keep and to use with or without us. Nothing in the foundation locks you into a later engagement, and the shortlists name real suppliers with real contact details rather than a category and a hope.

Dates
The eleven decisions, and when each one must be made
| By | Decision | What it blocks if late |
|---|---|---|
| 30 Nov 2026 | Venue chosen and deposit paid | Everything. Nothing else can be booked |
| 31 Dec 2026 | Guest number agreed within 10 | Catering, transport, seating, stationery |
| 31 Jan 2027 | Catering booked | September dates go by February on Como |
| 28 Feb 2027 | Photographer booked | The good ones are gone by March |
| 31 Mar 2027 | Music booked | Boat and curfew logistics depend on it |
| 30 Apr 2027 | Transport plan agreed | Como transport is boats and it books out |
| 31 May 2027 | Floral brief agreed | Stem availability for September |
| 30 Jun 2027 | Ceremony type confirmed | Civil ceremony paperwork has long lead times |
| 31 Jul 2027 | Final menu and dietary process | Kitchen ordering |
| 12 Aug 2027 | Final numbers, non-negotiable | Everything is billed on this number |
| 29 Aug 2027 | Run sheet issued to all suppliers | Yours to write at this level |
These dates are built from Lake Como supplier lead times for a September Saturday, not from a generic template. The three marked critical are the ones that cannot be recovered by working harder later.
Upgrading
If you decide you want us managing it
| Move to | Cost from here | Available until | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier Coordination | USD 2,900 | 31 March 2027 | We contract and manage every supplier to the plan |
| Final Month Management | USD 2,100 | 1 August 2027 | We take the plan over 30 days out and run the run sheet |
| Wedding Day Production | USD 2,600 | 1 August 2027 | We are there on the day, running it |
| Complete Wedding | USD 5,900 | 31 January 2027 | Everything, end to end, from that point |
The cut-off dates are real. Taking over supplier coordination in June for a September wedding means inheriting decisions and relationships we did not build, and past that point we would be charging you for a worse service than the one described.
