Planning a wedding is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming. Between vendor calls, timelines, and last-minute details, it’s easy to see why so many couples choose to hire a wedding planner or day-of coordinator. These pros handle the behind-the-scenes work so you can actually relax and enjoy your big day.
The Difference Between a Planner and a Coordinator
Wedding Planner:
A planner helps you from start to finish. They assist with everything — from booking vendors and managing your budget to designing your layout and creating a timeline. They’re ideal if you want hands-on support through the whole process.
Day-Of (or Month-Of) Coordinator:
A coordinator steps in closer to the big day. They review your plans, confirm details with vendors, and make sure everything runs smoothly on your wedding day. Think of them as your event manager — keeping everything on track while you celebrate.
Why It Matters
Your wedding day should be about love, laughter, and memories — not logistics. Having a professional coordinator means you won’t have to worry about what time the cake arrives, where the florist is setting up, or who’s cueing the music for your first dance. You can simply be present and enjoy every moment.
The Benefits
Less Stress: They handle the details so you don’t have to.
Smooth Timeline: Everything happens when and how it should.
Vendor Coordination: One main contact keeps everyone on the same page.
Problem Solving: If something goes wrong, they fix it quietly and efficiently.
Peace of Mind: You, your family, and your wedding party can just enjoy the day.
