The Role Of A Wedding Planner & Coordinator *Chance To Win A Full Service Wedding Design Package*

When hiring only a wedding coordinator for the day it is important that you understand the difference between a wedding coordinator and that of a wedding planner. As a wedding planner and a wedding coordinator, I have notice the two roles often being mistaken for one another when I am hired for Coordination only.  A wedding planner will assist you with your planning process, helping you save money and time.  A wedding coordinator will manage the overall day and ensure that everything runs smoothly, they are not hired as your planner, but more as a manager.

By the time your wedding coordinator comes on scene of the wedding all the wedding planning has been completed and now the final details are coming together.  With only four weeks left until the wedding, your coordinator will meet with you and go over all the small details of the wedding, ensure that nothing has been forgotten and contact all your vendors to help expedite the final vendor meetings.
A wedding coordinator will work with you and your vendors to create a wedding day timeline.  I know that many brides don’t want to worry about the time on their wedding day, but your wedding coordinator and vendors, will need to know the sequence that the day will unfold, so they may properly prepare and your guests will thank you for being on time, as they may be starving or sitting out in the hot sun waiting for you to walk down the isle.
The day before the wedding your Wedding Coordinator will be present at the Rehearsal and provide etiquette and creative advice.  They will meet your wedding party and answer any questions that they may have
.

A Wedding Coordinator and often an assistant depending on the size of the wedding, will be on hand on the day of the wedding.  They will be there to manage the day, from the moment you walk down the isle to the last major element of the evening.  They cue the wedding party when it is there turn to walk down the isle, fluff the brides dress one more time before her big reveal, round up the right family members and send them off to the formal photo location, put the final details into your reception before the guests arrive, greet your guests, cue the grand entrance, dinner, speeches, cake cutting and garter/flower toss.  We ensure that all your vendors are where they are suppose to be and that they carry out their contractual obligations.  A Wedding Coordinator can quickly adapt and wears  many hats to make sure the job is done and the Bride, Groom, Wedding Party and Family are relaxed and enjoying the whole day together.  Hiring a Wedding Coordinator, is going to make your wedding day so much more enjoyable, and you will have peace of mind knowing that you and your family won’t have to worry about all the little details on the Wedding Day.
