DAYS LIKE THESE EVENTS
When planning a wedding, couples often spend months carefully selecting the perfect venue, photographer, dress, and music. But one of the most important services is often overlooked or not budgeted for.
Yes, we are talking about a On The Day Wedding Coordinator. It’s easy to assume that once everything is planned, the day will simply fall into place. In reality, execution is everything, and that’s where a day-of coordinator becomes indispensable.
Not only have we created a runsheet, floor plan, cross checked seating plans with dietary requirements but we have also spoken to all of your vendors to ensure they arrive at the right time with the right product, we keep your groomsmen in line and your mum chilled.
We manage your timeline, fix the problems before you even know they exist, and ensure that you, your partner, and your loved ones aren’t bogged down with logistical stress.
Many couples rely on friends or family to fill this role, often thinking it will save money. But those well-meaning helpers rarely have the experience to manage a wedding day.
Instead of relaxing and celebrating with you, they end up missing key moments so a coordinator ensures everyone, including you, can be fully present.
Hiring an On The Day Coordinator is a small investment for a huge return (a Wedding Planner is a slightly larger investment but an even larger return - but more on that next time!).
You’ve put so much effort into creating a beautiful event so having someone to protect that vision and carry it out flawlessly means you get to enjoy your wedding, not work it. It’s the kind of support you don’t realise you need until the day arrives.
“So do not be that person, go ahead and engage a Wedding Coordinator - you will not regret it. “
