The Wedding Planner

by Danielle Steel

First published 2023

Faith Ferguson commands New York's most exclusive wedding planning business, orchestrating everything from intimate gatherings to lavish celebrations. She knows that memorable ceremonies come from careful attention rather than endless budgets. Two broken engagements have left Faith determined to stay single, finding satisfaction in her work, her twin sister Hope, and mentoring her assistant Violet. This season brings demanding new clients: an extravagant reception, a moderate celebration, and a private soirée, plus her mother's upcoming marriage and Violet's own wedding. Faith connects with her clients and their families, particularly one groom's attractive brother. But beneath the elegant surface, complications multiply. Unplanned pregnancies surface, family secrets emerge, and private disputes threaten to derail ceremonies entirely. Some weddings face cancellation as scandals unfold. Faith must navigate these crises while questioning her own choices about love and commitment. Through managing others' romantic dreams, she discovers that happiness takes many forms and multiple paths lead to fulfillment.
