As a bride who’s planned her own wedding you’ve spent a lot of time on all the details. But on the wedding day who is going to make sure all of those details come to life? The answer is a wedding day coordinator. Here are 3 reasons to hire a wedding day coordinator:
1) You’re the Star- As the star of the wedding you want to be focused on greeting your guests and enjoying each moment of the day. You may have had time to focus on wedding planning leading up to your wedding day but in the weeks beforehand you’ll start to get busy with all the out of town guests, beauty appointments, and preparing your vows and your speech. Time really takes off in the weeks leading up to your wedding day so it’s great to have a wedding day coordinator preparing an itinerary for your wedding day, confirming all your vendors, organizing your ceremony rehearsal and orchestrating all the details on your wedding day. They are armed with all the information so all the questions on the wedding day go to your coordinator instead of interrupting you.
2) So It Goes Your Way- It’s always quite surprising the number of people who “think” they know what the bride wants but in fact have no clue at all. I’ve stopped many a Mother switching around place settings and girlfriends of the bride trying to fiddle with the centerpieces. I even once stopped a guest from trying to tell the photographer how to take pictures. Everyone has the best intentions but the truth is that without a wedding day coordinator you can walk into a wedding that has been taken over by family with your details no where to be seen.
3) Peace of Mind for Everyone- Not only does a wedding day coordinator help the bride and groom by taking care of all the little details for them, a coordinator also majorly helps all the vendors involved. First by providing them with a wedding day itinerary and then by being the person to make sure the event runs on time, pointing out details that are important to the couple (especially to the photographer) and answering any questions on the fly. I’ve talked to so many vendors who highly recommend that a couple use a wedding day coordinator because it means a smoother day for all involved.
Ciara’s Bridal Advice
If you’ve thought about hiring a wedding day coordinator in the past and are now thinking about it again I’d suggest you book a meeting with a company you feel would match with your personality and budget. A wedding day coordinator really helps to relieve the stress of your wedding day IF they are the right coordinator. If you’re having a big lavish wedding a beginner coordinator is not the way to go, they can get overwhelmed in a new situation like this so you want to choose carefully and make sure that the coordinator you hire is backed up by a great support team and has the know how to handle an event like yours.
