Wedding planning is both joyful and stressful. You're planning the most important celebration of your life with your favorite person. Do yourself a favor and hire an expert to coordinate your day so that you can enjoy the party you planned!


1. Peace of Mind


Wedding planning can be wonderful, but it's stressful! A wedding coordinator serves as a calming presence amid the chaos, managing details and keeping you on track the day of the event. It allows you to cherish every moment and enjoy the whole process. In fact, some couples who hire a coordinator feel 30% less stressed during planning.


2. Expert Knowledge


Wedding coordinators are seasoned professionals who specialize in organizing weddings. With their experience, they can help you avoid common missteps that many couples make. For instance, they understand local regulations for outdoor ceremonies and have insights into seasonal challenges, like potential rain in June. I'll be a sounding board for your questions and thoughts!


3. The Little Things


The smallest details can change the overall look and feel of your wedding. Luckily, coordinators have a very keen eye for noticing the little things. While you're getting ready with your besties, I'll be sneaking around the venue, making sure everything is perfectly set for the evening. I'll notice anything out of place and will adjust quickly so the night appears seamless.


4. Vendor Recommendations


Choosing vendors can be one of the most confusing aspects of wedding planning. A skilled wedding coordinator usually has a trusted network of vendors they can recommend. For example, a coordinator might help you narrow down a list of vendor recommendations, saving you hours of research and ensuring quality. I've worked with some of my favorite vendors for over a decade and have hired them myself - happiness guaranteed!


5. Problem Solving


Unexpected issues can arise at any time on your wedding day. A wedding coordinator is equipped to handle emergencies and resolve problems efficiently. For instance, if a vendor cancels last minute, a coordinator can quickly arrange a suitable replacement, allowing you to stay focused on celebrating. This is also true for small decisions and challenges that arise throughout the day, like helping bustle your dress, finding the photographer a place to eat, moving a rougue centerpiece, and keeping track of your gifts.


6. Timeline Management


A clear timeline is crucial for a successful wedding. A wedding coordinator will create a specific schedule for the day, ensuring everything runs smoothly—from the ceremony start time to the reception activities. You won't have to worry whether you're sticking to the timeline you planned, I'll keep everything moving so you can be present all day!


7. Ceremony Coordination


On your wedding day, you'll arrive calm and ready because you practiced the ceremony at your rehearsal with your coordinator. When it's time to begin, the coordinator will get guests seated, the bridal party lined up, cue you down the aisle, and keep your music on track, all while staying hidden from your photos and guests.


8. Creative Ideas


If you're struggling to visualize your wedding, a wedding coordinator can offer a wealth of creative ideas. They can propose unique ideas that support your vision while tapping into a background of what works well and what might not. One of my favorite seating arrangements for the ceremony is having the bride's family sit across from her, so she's standing on the left of the altar and her family is seated on the right. That way, they can see her face!


9. Point Person


What many couples crave most from a wedding coordinator is point person on the day of their wedding. Caterer arrived? Talk to Kayla. DJ has a question? Ask Kayla. Grandma needs a glass of water? Kayla can help. It keeps the small stresses off of you and your partner so you can focus on your day while knowing your event and your favorite people are taken care of.


10. Memorable Experience


Ultimately, the best reason to hire a wedding coordinator is to guarantee that your wedding is everything you've dreamed of. From personal touches to flawless execution, their goal is to create a memorable experience for you and your guests.
