What Is A Wedding Coordinator And Should You Hire One?

Planning a wedding can be very time-consuming.  Stressful.  Expensive.  When it's finally time for the big day,  a wedding coordinator provides the couple with invaluable peace of mind.   All of the wedding plans will be executed with professionalism and with the least amount of stress and worry as possible.  


Experienced coordinators are experts in handling situations that can be uncomfortable or out of anyone’s control.  We make sure that each issue is handled discreetly and quickly, often without the couple even knowing.  For example, if the second-line band is delayed by an accident, the coordinator will make sure the DJ or band provides the music. If the father of the bride is missing just before the father-daughter dance, the coordinator will find them.  Basically we're always working "behind the scenes" so that everything is flowing smoothly, as the bride, groom and guests see it.  

Coordinators work with the vendors.  We contact vendors a few weeks before the wedding to confirm all important information, and we give our phone number as the day-of contact.  Nothing like getting phone calls about where the photo booth should go, while you're in the middle of hair and makeup, right?! Basically, we make sure that everyone knows where they need to be, and when!

One of a coordinator’s most important jobs is the timing of the details. They go through every part of the wedding, making sure there is enough time for everything that's scheduled.  With the couple's input, we create a timeline of the day which gets shared with all involved parties . Not having a timeline can be disastrous.  Weddings have started late, transportation has left couples with no rides, second line bands have departed without playing because they have another wedding, etc.  Coordinators put out the fires before they have a chance to even begin (and also the little ones that were completely unavoidable!)  Below is one of my favorite excerpts from a post about weddings:
