Wedding CollageHere is a very conservative break down of time spent for a typical wedding day coordination service:

  • 1 hour – initial phone inquiry and in-person consultation
  • 1 hour – creating and sending your contract for services and processing payments including billing for future payments
  • 1.5 hours – in-person meeting before the wedding to go through details and checklists with the bride (including travel time)
  • 2 hours – phone and email communication with your clients before the wedding
  • 2 hours – create and finalize the wedding day time line and vendor list
  • 2 hours – communicating with and confirming all vendors
  • 2 hours – attend a final meeting at the venue with your client to review details and logistics (including travel time)
  • 1.5 hours – attending and managing the wedding rehearsal (including travel time)
  • 11 hours – actual time you are on-site during the wedding day (including travel time)
  • 1 hour – follow up after the wedding with clients and returning any rental items you are responsible for

=25 hours of time!  Although it may seem like it is only “ONE DAY” simply by its title, it is one of the single most important days of your life!   An experienced planner will exceed your expectations and is hands down worth  the investment!

Don’t hire a “Wedding Coordinator”

I hear of wedding vendors who will tell their clients, “Don’t hire a Wedding Coordinator, we will do all of that for you! Save your money!” More often than not, this “coordination” is just giving a bride and groom a list of names or places. Let’s call it what it is. It’s a Venue/Vendor Referral Program and not Wedding Coordination. It’s takes 16-20 vendors for an average, not-many-frills wedding and most of them aren’t even at the wedding or reception itself.

In my opinion, and 9 years of experience, a true Coordinator explores in-depth what their client’s personality, style and budget are. Along with this we want to learn the couple’s journey from how they met to how they got engaged and how they want to remember their wedding. We match their personality, style and budget with the best of the best in the wedding industry. We are also on site the entire day to ensure the event runs smoothly for our clients, their families and guest!
