Why The Wknd Edit

We plan the weekend
so you can live it

We handle every detail — from the perfect villa to the impossible-to-get reservation — so the maid of honor can actually enjoy the weekend too.

Every weekend starts with the bride's personality and the group's vibe. Personal, never cookie-cutter. No inflatable anything.

Sakthi, founder of The Wknd Edit

Meet the Planner

Hi, I'm Sakthi

I spent years in tech as a product manager — obsessing over user experience, anticipating what people need before they ask, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Turns out, those are exactly the skills that make a great weekend planner.

I started The Wknd Edit because every bride deserves a weekend that feels like her — not a template with a hashtag. I bring the same customer obsession and executive function from my tech career to thoughtful, tasteful event planning. Every detail is intentional, every moment is earned.

Kind Words

From events we've planned

Weekends planned across 12+ cities since 2025

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"Every single detail felt like it was pulled straight from our group chat. The inside jokes on the welcome cards, the bride's favorite wine at dinner — it didn't feel planned, it felt like us. That's so rare."
Rachel M. Maid of Honor · Birthday Weekend
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"Working with her was genuinely one of the funniest parts of the whole process. She got our energy immediately. I'm lowkey looking forward to someone else in my friend group getting engaged so I have an excuse to do it again."
Anika S. Maid of Honor · Girls' Trip
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"I've been to a lot of group trips that feel like a template. This was the opposite. The little surprises — the personalized playlist, the vintage Polaroid station, the handwritten note at checkout — that's what made it unforgettable."
Tessa L. Guest · Celebration Weekend

How It Works

Four steps to the perfect weekend

01

Inquire

Fill out our quick questionnaire with dates, destination ideas, group size, and budget range. No commitment — just a conversation starter.

02

Discovery

We hop on a 30-minute call to learn about the bride, the group dynamics, and the kind of weekend that would feel most like you.

03

The Proposal

Within 10 days, you receive a detailed weekend concept with itinerary, mood, and budget breakdown. We refine until it's perfect.

04

The Weekend

We handle the rest — bookings, coordination, surprises, and on-call support. You just pack your bag and show up.

Questions

Everything you need to know

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend reaching out 3–6 months before your desired weekend. For peak-season destinations (Napa in harvest, Tulum in winter, Charleston in spring), 6+ months is ideal. That said, we've pulled off magic in as little as 6 weeks for the right trip.

Do your fees include the actual trip costs?

No — our pricing covers planning, curation, and coordination. Your weekend budget (accommodation, dining, activities, transport) is separate and entirely flexible. We'll work within whatever range is comfortable for your group and help you maximize every dollar.

Can you plan for destinations not listed?

Absolutely. We've planned weekends in Nashville, Scottsdale, Portugal, the Amalfi Coast, Montauk, Savannah, Park City, and beyond. If there's a destination your bride loves, we'll make it sing.

What if the bride doesn't know what she wants?

That's actually most of our clients. Our discovery process is designed to draw out preferences even when someone says "I don't care, just make it fun." We ask about her favorite restaurants, how she recharges, what her perfect Saturday looks like. By the end of our call, we know exactly what kind of weekend she needs — even if she didn't.

How do you handle dietary restrictions or accessibility needs?

We ask about these upfront and plan around them from the start — not as an afterthought. Vegan, celiac, sober, mobility-conscious — we've planned for all of it. Every restaurant, activity, and venue is vetted with your group's specific needs in mind, so no one feels like an accommodation.

What if our group has a tight budget?

We design gorgeous weekends at every price point. A $400/person Airbnb weekend with thoughtful planning can feel just as special as a $1,500 luxury retreat. The goal is intention, not excess.

What if people in the group have different ideas of fun?

Welcome to every friend group ever. We build in optionality — a pool afternoon where some people read and others play games, a night out with a graceful "early exit" option. The best weekends have breathing room, not a forced march through activities. We'll find the overlaps and design around them.

How do you handle group payments?

For The Edit and The Full Weekend packages, we manage group payment collection through a simple digital system. Each guest receives a personalized payment link with a clear breakdown of their share — no awkward Venmo requests from the maid of honor.

Can you keep the plans secret from the bride?

Yes — and we love doing it. We'll coordinate directly with the maid of honor (or whoever is leading the charge) and keep the bride on a need-to-know basis. We're experts at building suspense without causing anxiety. She'll know just enough to pack the right shoes.

What's your cancellation policy?

We offer a full refund of our planning fee if cancelled within 7 days of booking. After that, a 50% credit applies toward a future weekend. Vendor-specific cancellation terms vary and will be clearly communicated before any bookings are confirmed.
