Behind the Scenes: Working with Me as Your Wedding Planner

Planning a wedding can feel like a juggling act—so many details, decisions, and vendors to coordinate. That’s where I come in! I’m Morgan Crippen, owner of MC Productions and Design, a full-service wedding planning and coordination company based in Mobile, Alabama, serving brides across the Gulf Coast and the Southeast. My goal is to take the stress off your shoulders and transform your dream day into a beautiful reality. Let me take you behind the scenes of what it’s like working with me as your wedding planner and what you can expect from the moment we team up.

Step 1: The First Meeting – Let’s Chat!

It all starts with a conversation. I want to hear everything—how you met, what you both like, and of course, your vision for the big day. Whether it’s an intimate wedding or an large affair, I’m here to listen and understand your unique style. During our initial consultation, we’ll cover everything from your budget and guest list size to colors, themes, and those Pinterest boards you’ve been saving.

As a wedding planner, I know the ins and outs of planning weddings in the region, from Mobile to the stunning coastal venues in Alabama and beyond.

Step 2: Planning & Prep – Bringing Your Vision to Life

Once we’ve nailed down the basics, it’s time for the fun part—wedding planning! This is where I roll up my sleeves and start turning your ideas into reality. From helping you select the perfect venue to hiring vendors, arranging tastings, and fittings, I’ll guide you every step of the way. As your wedding coordinator, I’ll make sure everything is on track with regular updates, checklists, and friendly reminders to keep us moving forward.

Plus, I’m always just a phone call, email, or text away. No question is too small, and no request is too big!

Step 3: Vendor Collaboration – Your Dream Team

Think of me as the architect of your wedding day, ensuring every piece comes together seamlessly. I work closely with the best vendors in the business, ensuring everyone is on the same page. From florists and photographers to DJs and caterers, I’ll handle coordinating and confirming every detail. I’ve built strong relationships with trusted vendors in Alabama and across the Gulf Coast, so you can rest easy knowing you’re in good hands.

Step 4: The Final Countdown – Tying Up Loose Ends

As your wedding day approaches, we’ll do a final walk-through of the venue, confirm the timeline, and review all the little details. This is when we finalize your seating chart, double-check vendor arrangements, and make sure there’s a Plan B for those unpredictable weather changes!

It’s my job to anticipate any issues and handle them before you even notice. With my wedding coordination services, you’ll be able to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about the details.

Step 5: The Big Day – Showtime!

Your wedding day has arrived, and my job? To make sure everything goes off without a hitch. From coordinating vendor arrival times to managing the wedding party and ensuring the ceremony and reception run smoothly. I’ll be your behind-the-scenes problem solver, ensuring every detail is flawless.

You’ll be busy soaking in every beautiful moment with your partner, while I take care of the rest. My team and I will handle anything that comes up, from last-minute adjustments to boutonnières that won’t stay pinned (trust me, it happens more than you think!).

Step 6: Post-Wedding Wrap-Up – Reliving the Magic

After the celebration, when you’re off enjoying your honeymoon, I’ll take care of the post-wedding details. From gathering personal belongings to securely packing up your gifts, I'll make sure everything is taken care of. I also love staying in touch with my couples and hearing all about your happily-ever-afters!
