For some couples, the question of hiring a coordinator for the wedding can be a challenging one.

While thinking this over, do you find yourself asking…

• “How can I have a relaxed, stress-free wedding day with all that needs to be done?”
• “There are SO many options out there! How do I find ones that are right for our wedding?”
• “Work is crazy now. How much time do I realistically have to plan our wedding? I don’t have time to research everything!”

With those thoughts running through your head, hiring a coordinator may be the best decision you make and here’s why!

Why Hire a Wedding Coordinator?

Coordinators:

Keep You On Budget.

Making and keeping a wedding budget can be hard when you have a $1,000,000 wedding planned on Pinterest! Overwhelmed with options for your wedding? Early on, you need to have a discussion with your soon-to-be spouse and quite possibly, an independent third party, such as a coordinator, to help with bringing your vision alive – and within your own personal budget!

Know Local Providers.

These days, couples are so very busy with careers. Planning a wedding can take many, many, many hours, days and months. Seasoned coordinators have a wealth of information at their fingertips about providers who would best work with your style and budget and make referrals for you to those providers – thus saving you time in the planning!  Coordinators will help you with choosing the best wedding professionals you are looking for to add to your team!

Keep A Checklist.

Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but coordinators are there to help you track the steps and tasks to be taken care of so nothing is left undone.

Make sure your day goes seamlessly.

Coordinators are onsite the day of your wedding to make sure everything goes smoothly, so that you can focus on enjoying your day with your friends and family. Coordinators do everything from making a wedding timeline to being the go-to person for provider and guest questions. Having an independent wedding coordinator who has been with you during much of the wedding planning and can provide the overall coordination needed for your big day, is able to stay on top of the plans if the venue coordinator assigned to your wedding changes — so nothing gets lost in the details.  Seasoned coordinators know what makes a wedding go from good to unforgettable! Everything from having a band aid to take care of a minor scratch to distributing the tip envelopes to your providers, coordinators are there to take care of all of the details!

Your day, your way.

Think of a coordinator as your “personal assistant” during the planning process and for the wedding day, making sure all of your plans come to fruition!  Our primary objective is to make sure your wedding day unfolds with beautiful memories of family and friends who have come to share in your special day!

As wedding coordinators, we listen to you and what you want and then make sure it all happens exactly the way you envision.  We give hugs when needed, wipe away tears, and can even run interference with family members and/or friends!  We establish a relationship with our couples, going above and beyond what may be needed!
