🚨 VENUE COORDINATORS AND WEDDING PLANNERS/DAY-OF COORDINATORS ARE NOT THE SAME 🚨
Here’s why: Venue coordinators are representatives of the venue itself. They work diligently to ensure that the venue is well-maintained and supervise key aspects such as bathroom layout, coordination with the cleaning crew, and the setup or drop-off of other vendors, such as bakers, DJs, and florists. Their primary responsibility is to make sure the venue runs smoothly and effectively, representing the interests of the venue, not the couple.
In contrast, a wedding planner acts as a representative for the couple. Their role is to ensure that the couple, the bridal party, and their families are well taken care of and that everything runs seamlessly on the wedding day. This involves a multitude of tasks both before the wedding and throughout the day itself. Some of these tasks include checking in on the couple and the bridal party to ensure they have everything they need. If something is missing, the planner will run out for last-minute errands, assist with wrapping bouquets, and make sure the groomsmen's ties or bowties are properly tied and boutonnieres are in place.
Wedding planners also ensure that everyone is lined up for the ceremony, that the bride's gown is perfectly fluffed, and that the veil is positioned just right. They work to make sure the couple has adequate food during dinner and that guests are enjoying themselves. If any issues arise, wedding planners handle them discreetly, allowing the couple to enjoy their perfect day without stress.
As wedding planners, our goal is to represent you and ensure that your wedding day aligns with your vision, making the entire process fun and stress-free!
