Simply stunning. Made by nearly a decade ago but could easily be made for a wedding today. Classic, elegant, beautiful.

Yn y briodas hon roedd morwyn 18 oed o’r enw Sophie, sef chwaer y priodfab. Chydig wythnosau yn ôl, bron degawd yn ddiweddarach, mi briododd Sophie a Crwys. Roedd hi wirioneddol yn brofiad hyfryd cael gweithio i’r teulu unwaith yn rhagor. A Lyn wnaeth eu cacen nhw hefyd 🥰

Ein cyngor ni i unrhywun sy’n trefnu priodas adref yw i gysylltu â Digwyddiadau Calon. Wir, dyma’r a***n gorau i ni wario.

Rydym ni’n bâr creadigol, felly roedd y trefnu annibynnol yn bleser pur, ond yr hyn sicrhaodd cyflogi Calon Events fel cydlynwyr ar y dydd oedd nad oedd unrhyw waith trefnu’n mynd yn ofer. Yn bwysicach, allwn ni ddweud ein bod ni wedi mwynhau bob eiliad o’n diwrnod.

Ni allwn argymell y cwmni hwn yn fwy, yn rhwydd i gydweithio â nhw o’r cychwyn cyntaf ac yn llawn cyngor didwyll ac ymarferol. Diolch o galon Alaw a Nicola.

🎊 I do love a quirky venue and a good confetti shot 🎊

Mae o wastad yn cymryd mymryn bach o amser i osod pawb ar gyfer taflu confetti. Ar flaen fy meddwl i ydi’r ffaith mod i isio rhoi’r profiad ac atgofion gorau posib i’r cwpwl. Dwi’n siwr fod ambell i westai yn teimlo weithie ei fod o’n chydig bach o ffaff 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ond dim ond un cynnig gawn ni, a dim ond rhyw 5-10 munud bach yden ni, ac edrychwch ar y canlyniad yn fama 😍 Llun ac atgof hollol arbennig a hynod o hapus i’r pâr priodasol a’u plant. Llenwi nghalon i 🥰

Ydech chi’n hoff o’r darn yma o ddiwrnod priodas?

In a nutshell, an event coordinator will coordinate all of the services that you have already booked.

It’s a popular service, and it basically means that you are fully in charge of sourcing and booking your venue yourself, you will research, contact and book all of your suppliers yourself, and you will book / purchase just about everything needed for your big day.

What on earth is left to do?! A lot more than you may realise, (as my clients so often tell me) especially for a marquee or dry hire venue when you literally just pay to use their building.

A coordinator can…

✔️ Step in a few weeks prior to your special day.
✔️ Go through all of the details with you and tie up loose ends.
✔️ Contact your venue & suppliers to make sure their needs are understood.
✔️ Communicate your own needs & wants clearly with your venue & suppliers.
✔️ Skillfully and sensitively make sure all of those individual needs are met, without disrupting each other’s work. (We’re talking 20+ individuals - not always easy.)
✔️ Create a day-of timeline, based on those needs and based on the coordinator’s professional experience.
✔️ Set up at your venue.
✔️ Act as a point of contact for your venue & suppliers.
✔️ Be on site prepping in the morning, and assisting your suppliers, meaning you or anyone from your wedding party avoid having to run over when you’re supposed to be enjoying getting ready with your friends. This is an especially important role if you have a marquee or any other dry hire type of venue because there is literally no-one else to do this for you.
✔️ Be a point of contact for guests also. I am yet to coordinate a wedding where guests don’t need me on the day, and I love that I’m able to help them too 🥰
✔️ Communicate any change in timings throughout the day with your suppliers.
✔️ Oversee absolutely everything throughout the day, coordinate each element, problem solve as the day goes on, ensuring you can relax and celebrate with your friends and family and have a day to cherish forever.
✔️ Pack down at the end of the night or the morning after.

…aaaand everything in between. Phew! Good job I love what I do 🥰

Gobeithio fod hyn yn helpu 💕
I hope this helps 💕

Dwi wir wrth fy modd efo’r rhan yma o’r diwrnod, er ei fod dim ond yn para cwta un munud!

I absolutely LOVE this part of the day, even though it usually only lasts about a mintue! Seeing Katie & Steffan here being welcomed in filled my heart with joy for them 🥰

I’d love to experiment more here. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if the couple, who are being welcomed into a room full of their closest people as a married couple for the very first time, could fully enjoy their moment, for more than one minute? It wouldn’t suit everyone, but I know of a fair few that it would 👌🏻💕

What do we all think?

A planner will do just that - plan.

They’ll plan any aspect of your wedding or event that you want them to. They can save you money too as they usually receive discounted supplier rates. (All reputable wedding planners pass this discount directly to their clients.)

A planner can…

✔️ source suitable venue(s) & suppliers, following your brief, and using their extensive list of top quality contacts.
✔️ assist in organising your ceremony.
✔️ advise on or plan your design / theme with your florist and prop hire company.
✔️ schedule meetings with your venue & suppliers on your behalf.
✔️ accompany you to your venue & suppliers meetings, not to take over but to make sure all the correct questions are asked and to make sure nothing is forgotten.
✔️ assist with your stationery e.g. help write invites (this part is very important as it’s the first communication your guests will receive about your wedding day). I assist with writing both Welsh and English stationery.
✔️ manage your guests’ RSVPs including menu choices & dietary requirements.
✔️ organise food & drink tastings, dress fittings, engagement shoots.
✔️ assist with budget management and keep on top of supplier payment dates.
✔️ create a floor plan. (Note: a floor plan is different to a seating plan. I’ll talk about that another time.)
✔️ communicate your needs & wants clearly with your venue & suppliers.
✔️ provide etiquette support (i.e. help you with the politics).
✔️ create a timeline for the day itself to ensure that it runs smoothly, based on years of experience.
✔️ coordinate logistics, making sure all the suppliers involved in the running of the day know where they’re supposed to be, and when.
✔️ oversee everything on the day itself, coordinating each element, ensuring you can relax and celebrate with your friends and family and have a day to cherish forever.

…and everything in between.

If you’d like to organise your own wedding (source & book your venue & suppliers yourself) then find yourself needing support in making everything work and bringing it all together, then a coordinator is right for you.

Ok, so what exactly does a coordinator do? Stay tuned - I’ll let you know very soon 💕
