Do you need a Day of Coordinator?
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life, so hiring a Wedding day coordinator, aka a guardian angel, might be the most important decision you make.
You deserve someone who can expertly handle the details, especially when something unexpected happens. BTW, something unexpected always happens!
You only have one chance to get it right, so you need someone who is completely focused on making sure everything goes as planned
Think of the coordinator’s role like the conductor of an orchestra. All the professionals working at your wedding are skilled and trained in their own area with years of experience. The conductor’s job is to bring the best out of each of them and get them to work together to make this the day of your dreams, not the dreams of the individual professionals.
Don’t be tempted to turn your friends into the hired help.
Using friends or family for this role is a recipe for disaster.
You’re happy, excited and a little nervous and you don’t have to worry about whether your Day of Coordinator is having a glass of champagne rather than checking the place cards or asking the caterer to offer the canapes.
- Friends aren’t professionals.
You may love them dearly, but they’re not necessarily qualified to handle the stress of your wedding day. Hiring someone who knows what they’re doing is the best way of preserving your friendship.
- Friends should enjoy your wedding too!
Your friends are your guests, not the hired help. They should be able to enjoy the day and not feel like they are working.
You will want to share your memories with them as peers, not boss and employee.
