COORDINATING VS. PLANNING

Can’t decide between hiring a wedding coordinator or a wedding planner? Let me ease your mind a bit, and hopefully help you come to an easy decision, by providing a quick summary of the different tasks fulfilled in each role!

A wedding planner provides full service, in-depth help with all, or most, aspects of your wedding. This individual works with you in the months leading up to your wedding day, to make sure every detail of your wedding is perfect! If you do not have a whole lot of time available to plan your wedding, or you simply do not want to be too involved in the planning process, this is the right package for you! On the other hand, a wedding coordinator may be appropriate for you feel you have a decent amount of time to spend planning your wedding, or if you want to be super involved in the planning process! A wedding coordinator is someone that is hired to help you with your wedding either the day-of, or the month before your special day. This individual is your personal assistant on your wedding day, and most importantly, makes sure you can enjoy your special moment without having to lift a finger!
