You are engaged and have started planning your perfect wedding. You have already booked the best venue, you know who is going to do the catering, you have countless pins of flowers on Pinterest, you have tried on the most amazing dress on, and all your friends want to help. So, why would you need a coordinator? You are a very organized person and you know what you want. Well, do you want to work on your wedding day or do you want to be able to enjoy all the moments? If you said enjoy, you need a coordinator. Wedding Coordinators are here to make your day go as planned and keep you, the Bride, stress-free.
So, you hire a day of coordinator but don't know when we will start helping. If you hire me you get me from day one. With unlimited emails, calls, and text messages, The more I know, the better organized I will be on our Wedding Day. You hired me as a Day of Coordinator but you get me for so much more. If you hire someone else you might want to check to see what their contract covers. We, as Coordinators, want your day to go perfect as much as you do. We love seeing happy couples enjoy their special day. Now you hired us, so want to know what we really do. Are we worth the extra money?
We do Venue walk troughs. Especially to locations we have never worked before.
We check on the parking area, where the bathrooms are, and how many electric plugs there might be. But the most important thing we do on these visits is meet the owners or manager of the venue. We get to know them and learn the rules and regulations. The friendships we build with them will help not only us but the couples that will host their weddings there.
We work with you all through the process.
We are here to help with decisions, ideas, or to take you out for a drink if you just need a break. We keep you from turning into a Bridezilla when issues arrive. We know how stressful picking linen colors out can be. We keep up with all the email streams, with all your venders. It is important to us to know what kind of cheese will be served during cocktail hour, what special song that must be played in your play list to your DJ, and we need to know what drink everyone will be toasting the night away with.
Details, details, details. The more we know means the more we can help make happen on our special day. We do timelines and help with seating charts. We are a jack of all trades as your wedding expert.
We plan Rehearsals. We line up your Bridal Party, find out who will walk your special Aunt down the aisle, find out how many rows will need to be reserved, and see how the Offiendant wants the cermoney to go. We make sure everyone feels comfortable and answer any questions anyone may have. We make sure everyone knows were they are suppose to be on the wedding day and what time to be there. As your family and friends head out for dinner we continue to work.
We pick up chairs for the sweetheart table.
We pick up flowers for bouquets.
We go through our checklist to make sure we have all the décor and double check the times vendors will arrive. Always planning.
On your special day we get up running. We make sure the drinks are cold and the flowers are fresh! That you make your hair & make up appointment and are enjoying your day.
We move the world, or barrels, to make sure everything is perfect. We double check the weather and say a little prayer, if needed.
We set table and chairs.
We make sure place settings are correct and seating charts are followed.
As the cermoney time grows closer we make sure the final details are checked.
Groomsmen have their boutonnieres, everyone is lined up, and tears of happiness are getting ready to flow.
We stop to enjoy the moment but then our attention moves to the reception. Is cocktail hour ready, will food be served on time, and is the DJ set up? We grab some cold drinks and a few bites for the couple to enjoy between pictures. Then the party begins.
From the introductions to the cake cutting we keep everyone on time. Nothing is left out. We watch the 1st dance, hold back tears when the Father of the Bride speaks and we keep the Best Man from saying to much.
Then the dance floors opens so guest can party the night away. Memories have been made, photos have been taken, and now the happy couple can go start their lives together.
As the night comes to an end for all your guest we coordinator's are still at work. We are handing out vendor tips, clearing tables, and boxing up décor. We make sure all rental items are ready for pick up and the venue is set back to the way it was originally. We take out the trash and thank the venue for their serve.
The night is over but the event is not for us Coordinator's. The next day we arrange drop off times for items to be returned to the couple's family. We send follow-up emails to all the vendors. Then send our end of event survey to the couple. After all that we wait to see the beautiful photos from the photographer.
We do all of this because we love our job and the couples we meet during our journey as Wedding Coordinator's.
A Day of Coordinator is much more than just a da and the memories are worth more than a lifetime.
So, do you need a Day of Coordinator for your Wedding? Or should I say a planner, a psychologist, a hostess, a referee, and a friend for life.
With a Wedding Coordinator you get to enjoy the cocktails as we take care of the
details.
