What is a Wedding Coordinator?
Ideally, we would all like to have our own wedding planner or wedding coordinator. For some brides, this isn’t in the budget. For those who are able to have a wedding coordinator in the budget, here is a brief explanation of what a wedding coordinator really does.
Wedding coordinators play an important role as professionals. A consultant's primary role is to help a couple learn, use, and manage all the tasks required to host a successful wedding.
The wedding coordinator assumes the role of a planner, money manager, organizer, facilitator, and mediator for all people concerned. The wedding coordinator’s role is to be ‘on top’ of every detail, no matter how tiny, of a wedding. A wedding coordinator can do just about everything - from remembering to bring white bobby pins for your veil, to arranging a budget and timetable. Duties can include offering etiquette advice, setting up appointments, mailing invitations and recording responses, setting up the decorations, negotiating contracts, and attending to many other details. Most wedding coordinators have their own limits as to what they will do, so check with your wedding coordinator about their own limits, so that you get a coordinator that will do everything you want and need them to, and still can be within their own limits, so everyone is happy!
Weddings are extremely emotional events. The wedding coordinator is able to "handle" any situation that will arise. They are there to make sure things go smoothly, and give you the peace of mind to sit back and enjoy your day, knowing that everything is taken care of.
