Many, if not most, brides believe we can handle everything ourselves as it relates to our wedding day.  And for many, if not most, this is actually true. However, simply because we CAN doesn't mean we SHOULD!

 

Hiring a coordinator will be one of the best decisions a bride and groom can make for an important series of moments that rely heavily on meticulous details that must be carefully orchestrated to fit perfectly into a day that needs to proceed as close to perfection as possible. 

 

My personal belief is that the journey of planning a wedding is something every woman should have the privilege of enjoying...not just experiencing.  Every experience is not enjoyable.  

 

Hiring a wedding coordinator will prove to be invaluable when you sit back to relive your wedding day.  And trust me, you will definitely relive your wedding day many times!  

 

Of the many benefits you will receive, to name a few that rank pretty high:

 

 

1.  We allow the bride and groom to enjoy the day, to actually live in the many moments that will only happen this one time.  

 

We remove the burden and stress of thinking about the logistics and trying to manage things. The bride and groom are the main event!  We also make sure family and guests get to enjoy themselves while sharing in this day with their loved ones.

 

 

 

2.  We serve as a much needed buffer between the couple and vendors (and often times family and friends)

 

This is often times most needed during the final stretch all though in some instances, from beginning to end.  If not managed effectively, this can be the cause of most stress...unnecessary stress.  On occasion, vendors may become difficult and find loop holes to maneuver through in an attempt to get additional money or pull back on commitments made, closer to the wedding day, hoping to capitalize on the high running emotions and anxiety. But not on my watch! 

 

If there will be nerves and anxiety of any kind, it will not be regarding the logistics of the wedding day and will certainly not be during the final stretch. The final week is specifically reserved for fun, excitement and anticipation of the actual day and coordinators will do everything to protect and preserve the couple.  

 

 

 

3.  We stand beside you, we pick up behind you and we go before you when necessary because making sure the wedding day goes as planned is literally the air we breathe.  

 

Yes, this is a job for many but it's a fulfilling passion for most. The majority of couples have careers with 40+ hour work weeks, families and other obligations, so most cannot afford to make wedding planning a second full time job. Planning a wedding doesn't have to become a second job, but it often does particularly for the very busy or those that aren't quite as gifted in being organized, meticulous task-masters.  This is yet another burdensome layer the coordinator will lift off of the couple's shoulders.  There's nothing more valuable in wedding planning than to have an experienced professional come alongside of you to make sure every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed.  Literally.

 

 

 

 

4.  We ensure the wedding reflects the bride and groom.

 

Often times parents, grandparents, siblings, best friends and even the bridal party can become overly involved in the planning of the wedding.  Being involved is perfectly fine, but the day is about the couple and should reflect the bride and groom! Even if parents/grandparents et al are helping to foot the bill, that's fine (and very much appreciated) but that doesn't give them the right to dictate in any capacity.  The wedding is still that of the bride and groom.  The covenant and sacred vows are being exchanged between the bride and groom and them only.    

 

 

 

5.  We do the things no one will ever know about because it needed to be done. Period.

 

Things have to run according to plan.  Yes there are always those inevitable hiccups and sometimes unpreventable occurrences but we, as much as humanly possible, anticipate and plan for them in order to prevent them from happening  or at least minimize the noticeable impact on the wedding day.  We handle things (and people) discreetly, but effectively, with grace and integrity.  We do what's necessary to get it done and that stress lays on our shoulders for that short moment of time. We do what's necessary.
