Benefits of Hiring a Day of Wedding Coordinator

Unfortunately many brides are unaware of the option to hire a day of wedding coordinator. Now brides can choose to hire someone to take care of all the details on their big day, instead of all the details in the many months or years prior. Sound too good to be true? It’s not! Here are some more reasons to consider when deciding on hiring at day-of wedding planner.

Budget Friendly – Although extremely helpful and highly recommended, a full service wedding planner is certainly more costly than a day of wedding coordinator. However, both are equally important. By opting out of the usual full service wedding planner, the bride and groom are able to save money that can be applied to other elements of their big day.

Care-Free Wedding Day – Perhaps the biggest reason brides hire a day-of wedding planner is so that they have absolutely nothing to worry about on their big day. Sure it may be tempting to contract the position out to a close friend or family member, but tasks like organizing the bridal party, coordinating communications between vendors, and organizing occurrences between the ceremony and reception, are truly better left to a professional. Besides, chances are your aunt or cousin want to enjoy the day too!

Forgotten Extras – Even brides who are familiar with day of wedding coordinators may not fully grasp all that comes with the position. Tasks like making sure the names and contact information for all of the vendors (limo drivers, DJ/band, special performers, custom suppliers) are accurate, are in the hands of the day-of coordinator. He or she needs to be able to contact each vendor in case an issue arises. Another undertaking that tends to be forgotten is the business that must be taken care after the reception ends. Who will tip the DJ? Who will pass out favors to the guests once the bride and groom have gone off to enjoy their wedding night? All of these and more are jobs that need to be taken care of, and often prepared for prior to the day of the wedding. Hence, an experienced and capable person should be placed in charge.
