Do I really need an Event/Wedding Coordinator?

Weddings or milestone celebrations are significant events in our lives! We want them to be well organized and executed! In this article I am going to talk about the significance of the “Day-of the Event Coordinator” and not the full-service wedding/event planner.

Event coordinators are much more affordable than full-service event planners. They provide excellent value for the money.

An event coordinator is someone who oversees everything on the day so that you are free to enjoy your event! They ensure that the event progresses according to plan.

Typical Duties of a Coordinator

1. Meets with you 4-6 weeks before the event to understand what you have planned so far.
2. Checks in with your vendors to review and confirm logistics.
3. Creates detailed timelines and floor plans.
4. Make sure guests counts are in order
5. Certifies the payments of vendors
6. Completes a final walk-through of the ceremony and reception sites.
7. Addresses any overlooked details
8. Oversees everything! (From deliveries to the ceremonies) on the day!

Event coordinators are ideal for people who:

1. Want to play an active role in planning their event/wedding but would like someone to take care of the last-minute details and make sure that they haven't missed anything.
2. Are organized and detail oriented.
3. Don't have the budget for a full-service wedding planner.
