WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEDDING PLANNER AND A WEDDING COORDINATOR?

A wedding planner helps you from the very start of the planning process, assisting with everything from venue selection and budgeting to vendor choices and design ideas. A wedding coordinator typically comes in closer to the wedding date, managing all the logistics, timelines, and on-the-day details so you can enjoy your celebration stress-free. If you've already planned your wedding but want help with the execution, a coordinator is the perfect fit!

WHEN SHOULD I HIRE A WEDDING COORDINATOR?

It's never too early to reach out! While many couples hire a coordinator 6-12 months before their wedding, some prefer to hire a coordinator as early as possible for peace of mind. If you're getting close to your big day and need help pulling all the details together, it's a good idea to book a coordinator as soon as possible to ensure availability.

WHAT DOES A WEDDING COORDINATOR ACTUALLY DAY?

On your wedding day, a coordinator takes care of all the behind-the-scenes details so you don't have to. This includes:

  • Overseeing vendor arrivals and ensuring they're on time

  • Managing the wedding day timeline and keeping everything running smoothly

  • Directing guests to the ceremony and reception spaces

  • Assisting the bridal party with timing and logistics

  • Handling any last-minute issues or emergencies

Basically, a wedding coordinator is your day-of lifesaver, making sure you and your guests can relax and enjoy the celebration!

CAN I STILL HAVE A SAY IN THE PLANNING IF I HIRE A COORDINATOR?

Absolutely! A wedding coordinator is there to bring your vision to life. You'll still have input on all the important decisions, but we'll work together to streamline the planning process and execute your ideas. Whether you want full control or just need help with specific tasks, a coordinator is flexible and will work with you at whatever level of involvement you prefer.
