5 Reasons To Hire A Day-Of Wedding Coordinator
To make any sizable event come to life, there is typically a team of people who work together to make it happen. Yet when it comes to planning a wedding for hundreds of people, the responsibility often falls to one person; the bride. It’s no wonder so many brides feel overwhelmed! Take steps to enjoy the process and share the weight of responsibility by taking into consideration these 5 reasons to hire a day-of coordinator for your wedding.
Confidence in your Decisions
Planning a wedding is a massive undertaking and most brides enter the planning process with zero experience and no idea if they are making the right decisions. A day of wedding coordinator can provide invaluable insight into the logistics of your decisions and can offer advice based on their experience with hundreds or even thousands of other weddings. Whether you are looking for guidance or just some extra support in the final month leading up to your big day, tailor-made wedding services like those offered by Pocket Full of Plans offer assistance at whatever stage you need it, to help you feel more confident and excited as you continue through the maze of planning your wedding.
More Time to Enjoy Your Big Day
Your wedding day is a special occasion and one of the only opportunities for your relationship to be celebrated in such a big way. With such a rare occasion presenting itself, you won’t want to waste a second of your wedding day. As most venues require setup and break down to be completed on the same day as your wedding, this can result in precious hours being allocated to tasks you would rather avoid. An experienced day-of coordinator like Samantha Hall Events, who specializes in weddings but has planned everything from movie premieres, corporate events, social and private parties, and more has experience working with vendors and venues of all shapes and sizes to handle tasks that would otherwise steal your attention. Having spent 13 years in the event industry, you can spend your morning enjoying the company of your closest friends, celebrating your wedding, and then ride off into the sunset without a care in the world, knowing everything is taken care of.
Bringing Your Vision to Life
After months of working to create the perfect wedding plans, trying to ensure all the minor details are in place is enough to give any bride a headache. Deliveries are being made, vendors and guests are arriving, centerpieces are being displayed, and it takes an expert eye to ensure all the pieces are falling into their proper place. Taking a personalized approach that involves getting to know you as a couple, Always Flawless Production puts forth an honest effort to build a sincere relationship, even limiting their Full-Service and Design Based couples to 15 per year, in order to better understand your vision and bring it to life on your wedding day.
Accounting for Human Variables
The most unpredictable part of your wedding day isn’t the location or décor, it’s the people. Your bridal party plays a big role in your wedding and typically the only preparation they have is one rehearsal dinner focused on the ceremony. Especially with larger the bridal parties, it’s important to take advantage of the assistance of professionals like CMG Events who can help mitigate mistakes and confusion by guiding you and your bridal party through the rehearsal and providing direction and assistance throughout the day for expected and unexpected occurrences.
Are they entering and exiting at the proper time?
Is it time for your maid of honor to make their speech?
Did your best man forget his shirt and need an emergency delivery?
Your day-of coordinator can make sure all your animate and inanimate variables are accounted for.
Running Like Clockwork
From the time you begin prepping in the morning to the time you make your grand exit, your carefully laid-out wedding plans are restricted to a tight schedule. A slight delay anywhere throughout the day can mean missing an entire event that you no longer have time for. If you’ve assigned members of your bridal party to keep track of time or handle tasks, it’s not uncommon for things to be missed as they are trying to juggle being a part of your wedding and managing their duties. A day of wedding coordinator, on the other hand, such as our good friend Stephanie Chin, owner of Events By Stephanie, is a wedding specialist whose attention is 100% focused on taking all the plans you’ve discussed and creating layouts, timelines, and floor plans, scheduling everything down to the minute to ensure your entire day runs like clockwork.
Live Your Dream Wedding
The only duty of the bride and groom on your wedding day should be enjoying the special moments. A day of wedding coordinator can help take your mind off the typical stressors, and keep things running smoothly to give you the opportunity to do exactly that, so you can enter your life as newlyweds riding high on the wedding of your dreams!
