Why do you not offer "Day-of" Coordination?
An experienced, professional planner would never simply "show up" on the day of your wedding. As professional planners, we ensure that your wedding day goes smoothly by working with you in the months prior to your wedding and solving many problems in advance. This means reviewing your floorplans, corresponding with your vendors, communicating expectations of when and where all vendors will arrive and reviewing your contracts to ensure no detail is overlooked. As industry experts, we can anticipate issues before they arise, by being prepared and well-versed about your plans for your wedding day.
What’s Month-of Vs. Full Planning?
Whether a couple opts to hire a full-service planner or decides they only need professional help the month prior to their wedding, hiring professional help can be a huge stress reliever. Knowing the difference between month-of coordination and full-service planning can help a couple decide what level of assistance they need for an unforgettable wedding. A month-of wedding coordinator helps a couple prepare one month before their wedding, which means the couple does most of the planning on their own; while a full-service wedding planner advises a couple on every detail leading up to their big day.
The chart below outlines the main differences between month-of coordination and full-service planning.
