Let’s Talk Wedding Rehearsals!

Did you know that one of the most important parts of your wedding day happens before the big day? As your day-of coordinator, I’ll run your rehearsal to make sure everyone knows exactly what to do when it’s showtime!

What I’ll Do:
• Walk your wedding party through the processional, recessional, and key moments.
• Ensure everyone knows their cues and where to stand.
• Answer questions like, “Where do I put my bouquet?” or “When do I walk down the aisle?”
• Create a plan so your ceremony flows smoothly and feels natural.

With a well-run rehearsal, you can relax knowing everything will go smoothly as planned.

Reviewing Your Timeline and Vendor Contracts is Key to a Smooth Wedding Day!

As your day-of coordinator, one of my first responsibilities is to review your timeline and vendor contracts. Here’s why this step is so crucial:

Timeline Review: I’ll ensure your wedding day flows by spotting any gaps, overlaps, or unrealistic timeframes. From hair and makeup to the grand exit, I’ll make sure every moment is accounted for..

Contract Review: I’ll double-check vendor agreements to confirm arrival times, setup needs, and responsibilities, so nothing falls through the cracks.

This step allows me to step into your shoes, fully understand your vision, and make sure every detail comes together perfectly.

Happy Opposite Day! Let’s Mix Things Up!

January 25th is Opposite Day—a fun excuse to do things a little differently!

✨ Wear your clothes backwards.
✨ Eat dessert before dinner.
✨ Say “I don’t” when you mean “I do” (just for laughs, of course!).
