Frequently Asked Questions
-
A wedding planner is a hired vendor who manages the entire wedding planning process. A wedding coordinator is a hired vendor that comes in towards the end of the process (typically about 2-3 months prior to the wedding day) and ties all the details together that you have been managing thus far.
-
Absolutely! One of my biggest pet peeves as an event professional is thinking that coordinators are an “optional” vendor category. While they aren’t producing a tangible item like food, flowers, or photos, they are the ones responsible for ensuring the flow, timing, and vendors are all managed properly. If a coordinator is not hired to do this then it usually falls unexpectedly on a family member, friend, or even a vendor who isn’t trained to take on these tasks.

Fill out our inquiry form for us to review and we will schedule a time for a 1-hour complimentary consultation if we have availability for your date!
