Day of coordination does NOT exist!
Would you hire a builder, hand them all your notes that you and your construction crew took months to come up with and tell them to build your dream home within a day? Gosh no! That would be terrifying! Without a proper plan, communication and discussing all the details, how would they pull this off while getting all the little details right?
I often get asked by the newly engaged couples if we offer “day of coordination” services and my answer is….. NO! ❌
I don’t offer day of coordination. There is SO much work involved with planning and coordinating your event, that I’m confident “day of coordination” truly does not exist.
Do you think anyone can walk in on the day of your wedding, make sure everything runs smoothly AND execute it to your vision accurately without any prior knowledge of the event? NOPE! No one can!
We as planners/coordinators cannot just show up to a pre-planned event and work without knowing your vendors, itinerary and every important detail. To know all of the above, we need to come on board well in advance to get familiar with everyone and everything involved in your special day.
As your coordinator, my role is to review everything that you have planned and ensure we are as prepared as possible for your wedding day by getting to know your vendors, creating a timeline for the day and understanding your vision and all the important details.
In order to do my job well, I need to walk into the wedding day knowing what the day is going to look like, having all the answers for vendors and a thorough understanding of what’s provided by each vendor in order to prevent things from falling through the cracks.
Long story short: There is no such thing as ‘Day of Coordination’.
