A lot of couples opt out of having a *professional* wedding coordinator for their wedding day.. I personally urge against this!

I 100% understand that weddings are expensive, and that alone, is a major reason to hire a *professional coordinator* Why spend thousands of dollars on an event, and not hire a professional to manage the day to ensure everything you have spent so much money on, is operating accordingly.

Secondly, I am aware some people may have a close friend or relative that could assist with “coordinating” a wedding… Coordinating is SO much more than simply telling your bridal party when it is their turn to walk down the aisle.
All professional wedding coordinators have their on style and own packages they offer, so I cannot speak on their behalf, but I can provide a little insight on mine:

With every wedding I am booked for, I spend a ***minimum*** of 50 hours working. This is why I don’t limit my title to Day of Coordinator… I am a Wedding Coordinator. A lot of my role has aspects that would belong to a wedding planner.
• Time is spent corresponding with couples (sometimes I get booked, other times I don’t)
•Time spent giving venue tours
•Travel time
•Time spent doing meetings (often up to 2 hours, and often, more than 1 meeting is necessary)
•Time spent creating the couples wedding packet. This consists of the overall itinerary, detailed timeline, special notes or instructions, etc.
•Time spent corresponding with the other wedding vendors hired for the event (or even, time spent in assisting the couple with locating vendors to use, etc.
•Time spent at rehearsal
•Time Spent the day of + all the things that come with that!

A wedding coordinator is a very crucial part of your wedding day (and weeks/months leading up to your wedding day).

So, whether it is me, or another wedding coordinator, please allot a budget to include a coordinator for your wedding day!

*I would heavily advise of booking a coordinator, during your venue search, and before other vendors are booked, this will make the planning of your wedding so much smoother! As the coordinator could potentially join you on your wedding tours (if they are not the ones already giving you the tour) - so they can ask certain questions at the venue that you may not think of. Also, this will help determine what time you should plan your ceremony, and from there, you will know how many hours other vendors will need to be booked for etc.

*if you are in need of a wedding coordinator, I’d love to chat with you, and help you with all your wedding things!! 🤍

Would love to hear your thoughts💭
Everyone

•Couples (and/or anyone associated with) an event or wedding I coordinated, what did you like/dislike about my services?

•Did having a coordinator benefit your event? Why or why not?

•What advice would you give others for their event/wedding?

•Vendors that I have worked with, can you leave an honest review, and/or provide advice/insight to those who have upcoming events or weddings?

•Ultimately, do you think having a professional coordinator was necessary for your event/wedding?
*Asking this, because so often I hear people say they don’t see the value in this, and opt out of having a professional coordinator, or a coordinator in general*

It's not often that I find myself with a few extra moments to spare in the day; but the odds were in my favor today! During this "spare" time, I choose to reflect on this small business of mine. 🫶🏼

Not many people know this, but on October 24, 2020, I coordinated my first wedding. At the time, this was not something I put much thought into; but was simply asked to do this by a friend who knew my passion for event planning, and my keen attention to organization and detail!

It was at this wedding that I met the love of my life, Aaron Stainback.

Originally, the mother of the bride had booked a different Coordinator and DJ, but those plans fell through and by fate, Aaron and I ended up working this wedding together. We recognize 10/24/2020 as our anniversary because we met on that date, and have been together ever since! We found love at a wedding LOL - This plot could seriously make a sappy Hallmark movie! Aaron and I not only share a wedding & event business, but a family. Aaron is the best bonus dad to my daughter Paisley who will be 8 in July, and to our son, Noah, who just turned 2 in December.

From my first wedding on October 24, 2020 until now, I have had the opportunity to coordinate at least 25 weddings; with a current total of 11 more booked for the 2024 year! I am truly blessed!!

With each wedding, I continue to grow my skills and knowledge, and make some incredible friends in the process!

I have so much gratitude to everyone who has and continues to support me and my little small business! No matter if it was a simple like or share of my services on social media, referring me to a friend, booking me as your wedding coordinator and especially praying over me and my business.

Aaron and I have DJ + Wedding Coordinator Packages available at a discounted rate! Our books are open for Summer, Fall, and Winter 2024 dates & 2025-2026 dates!

**Weddings booked in April 2024 - August 2024 will receive $200 off our DJ + Wedding Coordinator Bundle!!**

This is such a difficult post to make 💔

Robyn Campbell Hamlett & Chad M. Wallace booked Aaron Stainback & I for their wedding, planned for February 2024.

Unfortunately Robyn was involved in a tragic car accident and lost her life a few weeks ago.

I only knew Robyn for a short period of time, but instantly loved her after meeting her. I’ll never forget how she embraced me with the biggest hug when we met for the first time to go over her wedding dreams and details.
I only had about an hour long meeting with Robyn, but you would have thought we had known each other for a lifetime! She truly was a light to this world, and had such a sincere and special soul.

My heart goes out to you, Chad, along with y’alls family, and all of those who loved and knew Robyn.

Today, Chad called me and told me he had something for me….. Robyn had purchased this pineapple for me as a gift and had intended to gift it to me as a thank you gift….. Thank you so much, Chad for surprising me with this today.

I know life is not fair, and it is so delicate. I am truly inspired by Robyn’s loved ones during such a difficult time.

Sending you all love and prayers, especially during this holiday season.
