How they work

For a full day-of coordination, your wedding planner will meet with you a month before the wedding, confirming what you want, then further confirming with your vendors. About one or two weeks before the wedding, your wedding planner will create a detailed timeline for your wedding day and go over all the big and little details. Usually, it takes a couple of hours to go over everything. Once we are as familiar as you are about your big day, it makes the wedding day run seamlessly. On the day of, your coordinator (and possibly an assistant) will make sure everyone is where they're supposed to be, when they're supposed to be, and help out if there are any hiccups. The coordinator(s) can even help clean-up, if needed. Lastly, a Bridal Emergency Kit is brought; it never hurts to be prepared. Partial day-of coordination is just like the full day-of coordination, except that services end after the busiest part of the day: the ceremony. Simply set-up is mainly décor setup for your big day.
