Hi there. I'm starting from square one and looking for a planner, but my situation is maybe a bit unique. My fiancé and I will get married at a private courthouse ceremony on a date TBD, and want to have a reception/party after that (on another date) for around 100 people, probably sometime next year. I don't have dates, venue, anything yet. All I know is that I'd like to find a planner who can help me plan not a full-scale wedding, but this post-marriage party. I won't be doing some of the usual trappings of a wedding (no flowers, no officiant, etc.) so I'd think that this would be less complex to plan since there will be fewer details to manage.
Has anyone used a planner for something like this? Should I try to find a "party planner" rather than a "wedding planner"?
I am thinking I'd like to do this in Philadelphia, at a bar/restaurant. If you've worked with anyone there who you loved, that would be helpful to know!
