Arrange transportation like a buggy service to assist with the transportation of guests with mobility issues.
• Train your staff to deliver exceptional service, going above and beyond to anticipate the needs of the couple and their guests.
• Welcome the couple upon arrival and ensure that everyone knows where to go.
• Greet the registrar and introduce them to the couple individually to confirm arrangements for the ceremony.?
• Ensure the comfort of the guests by providing amenities such as well-stocked restroom facilities, and ample parking.
• Provide bespoke luxuries in the rooms for the couple to enjoy. Consider a unique keepsake that captures the heritage and charm of your venue or location, alongside a bottle of fizz, and a personal wedding card featuring custom artwork of the venue, house or gardens.
• Have a plan for handling any last-minute changes or unexpected situations, and communicate clearly with the couple and vendors to keep everyone informed.
• The Wedding Coordinator’s experience and expertise come into their own for those final touches and last-minute adjustments to keep everyone calm e.g. assisting with buttonholes.
