What Every Coordinator Wishes You Knew…
Book your wedding day coordinator as one of your first vendors! They have a lot of resources and advice they can offer to help make the planning go smoothly. Some vendors even offer discounts for working with a coordinator/planner!
Your wedding coordinator cannot set up or clean up alone. they are there to manage and coordinate the day and of course assist in the setting up/cleaning up but you should be prepared with additional hands to help or hire it out. They are mostly there to manage the vendor team and timeline and you! They also help organize and arrange your personal details and items and get them set up and cleaned up. Not do all the place settings, linens, bus tables and fold up 200 chairs alone.
Send us your contracts! We’d be happy to read over them (especially venue contracts) to make sure we fully understand what the requirements are. Especially when it comes to venues set-up, clean up policies, liquor rules, etc.
Introduce us to your family! We love getting to know the most important people in your lives. It’s such an honor to walk alongside both families as the marry off their adult children. We love to know them!
Please include us in your meal count and know it’s best for us to eat at the same time as you! We are typically working 10-15 hours on your wedding day and are starving!! Also if we can stop to eat around the same time as our couple then we can be back to work when you guys are finished as well. (same goes for photo/video!)
Don’t spend a fortune on cake! By all means get yourself the cake of your dreams but the quantity of cake can be adjusted! There are many, many weddings of mine that have ton of cake leftover and it ends up in the trash at the end of the night. Cue my heartbreak! If you do want to go all out then plan to bring some sweet to-go boxes for your guests to take some home at the end of the night!
We would do almost anything for our clients!!! Seriously, we adore you guys and want this day to be as amazing as humanely possible. Forget socks for your reception tennis? Here take mine!! Need me to handle an awkward family situation? No problem, on it! Need me to hold your dress while you pee? Yes Ma’am! We’re hella dedicated to you.
xoxo,
