What are some things I do prior to guest arrival:
🤍 candles lit
🤍 confirm timeline & songs with the dj
🤍 confirm speech formalities with dj & want table there sitting at (all in my timeline)
🤍 make sure music is on
🤍 pull out all chairs away from table linen
🤍 rotate an object a few times again because I’m OCD
🤍 change out of my setting clothes
🤍 check in with bridal party
🤍 receive any deliveries; desserts, etc
🤍 confirm # of chairs at each table from the form the bride fills out
🤍 introduce myself to the catering team and bar staff
🤍 check in with the venue staff
+ lots more!
Wedding coordination is not just a “day of” coordinator. I’m hands on months before your wedding with 3 meetings to ensure I can execute your vision so you can be present and feel the love 🤍🫶🏻

If I stepped into your wedding day for just “the day” … I’d be setting myself up failure. There is no way someone can execute the logistics of your wedding day with just the day of mentality.

Timeline idea if you are not doing a first look before the ceremony
Make sure your bridal party is ready together before the ceremony to get photos. This will help with your photo list during cocktail hour & will also help you to get some alone time before the reception starts!
Bridesmaids photos
Groomsmen photos
Solo individual photos
Maybe even squeeze in some immediate family photos!
Making the timelines is such a big behind the scenes part of being a wedding coordinator.
