The short answer is, yes. Being a wedding planner myself, even I hired a Day-Of Coordinator on my wedding day to make sure my plans went smoothly.
Here's why:
1) We are your problem-solvers - You don't want to worry or stress about any last minute and unexpected changes during your wedding day. When the reception programming is off, we know exactly what to do to get you back on track or what changes need to be made and communicated to all parties involved. This is YOUR day - you should be relaxing and enjoying every moment of it!
2) We are your labourers - You don't want to set up your own chairs, centrepieces, decor, favours, etc. on the day of the wedding. You don't want your family and friends, who are guests at your wedding, to do any of the work either. We can be there to ensure the ceremony and reception are set up exactly as you envisioned it!
3) We are your communicators - Your guests or vendors (e.g. caterer, photographer, DJ, etc.) will most likely have some questions during your wedding day. You don't want to be bothered with answering all of the questions. We can be there to make sure your guests know where the washrooms are, your cake delivery is made on time, the DJ knows when to cue your first dance song, the caterer knows when to serve the next course, etc.
4) We are your time and budget-savers - You and your fiancé probably have busy schedules and don't have the time to research vendors that suit your budget, taste and style. We have experience working with reputable vendors (who sometimes offer discounts to our clients!). We can even help you create and keep to your budget!
5) We are your peace-keepers - Weddings can be stressful, especially when people have differing expectations and opinions. We can be the impartial third party to deal with disagreements between the bride and groom, the wedding party, or family members.
6) We are your style and etiquette mavens - We have a keen eye for beautiful and can offer design/decor suggestions or advice on how to improve the "flow" of your day (e.g. is there enough time budgeted for pictures?, which side should the bride stand on?, who should walk in first, etc.)
I can do all of the above tasks! Contact me for a free initial consultation!
