When you’re planning your wedding, it’s inevitable to overlook the smaller details despite having a checklist on your own already. That is why it’s such a blessing that wedding coordinators exist! They make sure that everything goes smoothly on your big day. Not only do they help you stick to your budget but also give you the peace of mind. So, which type of coordination should you avail? Let’s talk about that below.
This type of coordination practically covers everything from start to finish. From conceptualizing, to setting up appointments with suppliers, to facilitating logistics, you basically just have to relax and let the team do the work for you. If you’re a busy bride or couple, or you want to get married in another province or country, then this option might be the best for you.
Common Inclusions:
- Conceptualization
- Budget management
- Selection of venues and suppliers
- Meetings with suppliers
- Logistics and transportation
- RSVP and seating arrangement
- Wedding rehearsal assistance
- On-the-day itinerary
- Staff meals delivery
- Guests and entourage assistance
- Gift inventory
Tip: Ask your family and friends who recently just got married about their coordinators. They might help you choose the most suitable for you.
When you’re halfway through your wedding planning, and you decide on adding extra hands to fill out the remaining tasks, a partial coordination is what you need. This usually happens 3-6 months prior to the wedding, where the coordinator takes over your preparations.
Common Inclusions:
- Selection of other suppliers
- Follow ups with booked suppliers
- Coordination with vendors
- Logistics and transportation
- On-the-day itinerary
- Staff meals delivery
- Guests and entourage assistance
- Guest listing and seating arrangement
- Gift inventory
Tip: Let your coordinator know the things you already have in mind, so whatever they carry out next will be aligned with the primary concept.
If you want to be hands-on with your wedding planning, then opting for the on-the-day coordination would ensure a smooth flow on your wedding day. Since you already booked your major suppliers, you just have to hand over your role to the team. Trust me, you will need the extra hands to save you from wedding mishaps. This option is also less expensive compared to the full coordination.
Common Inclusions:
- Coordination with vendors
- Logistics and transportation
- On-the-day itinerary
- Staff meals delivery
- Guests and entourage assistance
- Guest listing and seating arrangement
- Gift inventory
Tip: No matter how hands-on you are, there’s a big chance that you might miss the little details like the boutonnieres and corsage for the ceremony. If you hire a coordinator, they will remind you of it!
