From the hair & makeup artists to the photographer, DJ, and catering team, all of your vendors will have slightly different versions of a timeline based on the details you’ve given them.

To ensure a seamless flow for the day, someone needs to connect with each vendor to create one master timeline that accounts for your expectations for the day and each and every vendor’s needs.

Just a few of the many elements we consider: venue access, how long each service takes for hair & makeup, the photographer’s desired shooting schedule, and when the florist needs to make the delivery so your bouquet is here in time for photos!

We work with each vendor to confirm their hours on-site and combine all of these elements into your perfect wedding day timeline.

When you’re getting pampered on your wedding morning, the last thing you want to be thinking about is if your venue put out enough chairs or if your vendors are arriving on time. Not to mention, it’s frustrating having to check-in and request photo updates to confirm your mom/personal attendant/friend are setting up your decor in the right way. You want your reception space to be PERFECT. Good thing your wedding coordinator is there to perfectly place decor and confirm your setup is as expected.

• We are your trusted liaison and will make sure vendors understand your priorities and expectations. Let us answer their questions, so they don’t interrupt you while you’re celebrating with friends & family.

• We keep the venue informed of any setup needs and work with them to resolve issues that may arise (mics not working, power fuse blew, lights not dimming, broken chair, broken glass, you’re locked out of the bridal suite, etc.).

• We make sure your DJ and photobooth get set up in the right place, and that the caterer knows where to set up the appetizers.

• We direct guests to your ceremony site, and we hang by the doors to make sure no late guests let the door slam (ahem, RUDE).

• We inform the catering & bar teams when the ceremony is just about over, so they can be ready with apps and pre-poured beer & wine.

• We confirm your photo and video team are ready for the grand entrance and first dances before the DJ starts playing your song.

• We contact the transportation company to confirm the guest shuttle is arriving on time.

• We bring our Wedding Day Emergency Kit to help fix unexpected decor or outfit mishaps.

• And we confirm your vendors have properly cleaned up/loaded out before leaving the venue.

It’s not fair to your friends or family to dedicate their morning to placing centerpieces and signage, then rush to change before the ceremony. Sure, even if they volunteer to do this for you, it’s unnecessary stress. It’s also totally not fun having to do the legwork of coordinating a timeline or dealing with vendors when you’re supposed to be a guest at the celebration.

Not to mention, end-of-night teardown is never as easy as expected. Even if your maid-of-honor or auntie insist they will pack decor at the end of the night, chances are, when the time comes they’re either too caught up in the party on the dance floor or just plain tired from celebrating. Your wedding coordinator is there to manage this and we’re never too tired or preoccupied to get the job done!

Sure, if that’s what you want! But things might be a liiiiittle more buttoned-up with a professional by your side. Wedding planners and coordinators are professionally trained and we do this for a living! Our experience ensures your wedding day will flow seamlessly so you and your guests can truly enjoy the celebration.

Here are a few things to consider before ‘hiring’ a friend:

• A professional wedding coordinator will be taken more seriously and we can be assertive if needed. Without pre-existing relationships to muddle boundaries, it’s much easier for us to wrangle your wedding party without stepping on any toes or being labeled “the bossy friend”.

• We can anticipate vendor needs and potential hiccups because we’ve seen it all before, and we have built a rapport with vendors that allows us to work in sync.

• Our processes are tried & true. We know exactly what to ask, what details need to be discussed, and we have the tools to get you (and your vendor team) perfectly organized before wedding day. Hate to break it to ya, but purchasing a Wedding Planner guide from Amazon just isn’t the same.
