After photographing weddings across Maine, these are some of the wedding planners I’ve loved working alongside and would happily recommend to couples.

One of the things I’ve loved about photographing weddings in Maine is getting to work alongside some truly incredible wedding planners. A great planner does so much more than keep a timeline on track; they help create a wedding experience that feels seamless, thoughtful, and enjoyable for everyone involved. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with all of the planners featured below, and it has been such an honor to witness firsthand the care, creativity, and dedication they bring to their couples. These are the planners I would confidently recommend to anyone looking for support throughout their wedding planning process!
If you’re looking for a wedding planner who can balance creativity with organization, Casey at Coastline Weddings is someone worth having on your team. With years of experience planning weddings along the Maine coast, she’s known for creating celebrations that feel personal, thoughtful, and completely tailored to each couple. What really stands out is her calm, can-do approach, whether she’s coordinating dozens of vendors, handling last-minute changes, or bringing a unique vision to life, she makes the entire process feel seamless. Couples consistently mention how supported, relaxed, and cared for they felt throughout planning, which is exactly what you want when you’re trusting someone with such an important day.
What I love about Casey’s approach is that she offers support at every level, whether you want someone to manage the entire wedding weekend or simply help bring all of the pieces together once you’ve done most of the planning yourself. For couples planning a destination wedding in Maine, her full-service packages cover everything from venue selection and vendor management to guest accommodations, transportation logistics, budget guidance, and custom design concepts inspired by the Maine coast. She also creates detailed timelines, manages permits and insurance requirements, and oversees every detail on-site so couples can actually enjoy their wedding weekend.
Even her partial planning and wedding management services go far beyond basic coordination, with design guidance, vendor recommendations, timeline creation, floor plans, and full wedding day execution. Having someone who can handle both the creative vision and the behind-the-scenes logistics is invaluable, especially when you’re planning a celebration from out of state.





MK and the team at MK Your Dream Day are a great option for couples who want a wedding planner that feels both highly organized and genuinely invested in their experience. They have a reputation for creating celebrations that feel thoughtful, personal, and seamlessly executed from start to finish. Their team helps manage the countless moving pieces that go into a wedding while keeping the process enjoyable and stress-free.
Couples often rave about their attention to detail, clear communication, and ability to handle challenges behind the scenes before they ever become a problem. Having a team like MK Your Dream Day in your corner allows you to focus on enjoying your engagement and being fully present on your wedding day. One of the things that makes MK Your Dream Day such a great planner to consider is the flexibility of their services. Whether you’re starting from scratch and want someone to guide every step of the planning process, need support as you wrap up the details, or are simply looking for an experienced team to coordinate everything on the wedding day, they have an option that fits.
Their full-service planning is ideal for couples who want expert guidance from the very beginning, while their partial planning package helps keep everything organized and on track once you’ve already gotten started. No matter which level of support you choose, their goal is the same: helping you enjoy your engagement and be fully present on your wedding day.





One of the things that stands out about Didi and the team at Lief Events & Planning is how intentional they are with every wedding they take on. Rather than fitting couples into a cookie-cutter planning process, they focus on creating a celebration that feels personal and reflects who you are. Didi has a knack for balancing the creative side of wedding planning with the logistics that keep everything running smoothly, which means you get a day that looks beautiful and feels effortless. From helping refine your vision to managing all of the details behind the scenes, she brings a calm, reassuring presence that allows couples to relax and enjoy the experience instead of feeling overwhelmed by it.
Lief Events & Planning offers several levels of support depending on how involved you want to be in the planning process. Their full planning package offers expert guidance from the beginning while still getting to enjoy the creative decisions that make a wedding feel personal. If you’ve already started planning, their partial planning package helps tie everything together and provides support with the details and logistics along the way.
They also offer event management services that go beyond traditional day-of coordination, stepping in as a planning partner to help ensure everything runs smoothly leading up to and throughout the celebration.



Renee, the owner of Strange Events, brings a thoughtful and creative approach to wedding planning that helps each celebration feel personal and intentional. She has a talent for taking a couple’s ideas and turning them into a cohesive experience, paying attention to both the big-picture vision and the smaller details that make a wedding memorable. Behind the scenes, she’s known for keeping things organized and running smoothly, helping vendors, timelines, and logistics come together seamlessly. Her calm presence and attention to detail allow couples to stay focused on enjoying the experience while she handles everything happening in the background.
Renee’s services are centered around making sure every detail is organized and accounted for before the wedding day arrives. She works closely with couples throughout the planning process, helping with timelines, vendor communication, contract reviews, and logistics, then takes the lead during the rehearsal and wedding day so everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
