SHOULD I HIRE A WEDDING COORDINATOR? THE ANSWER IS YES!
Wedding planning is a huge task for couples to take on. After the excitement of the engagement wears off and suddenly you are in full planning mode, you might find yourself feeling overwhelmed.
Newly engaged couples generally do not prepare themselves for how much planning is actually involved in putting a wedding together and this can be quite stressful.
There are many details that go into planning a wedding and many decisions that need to be made. It takes a great deal of time and effort to plan and execute a wedding and also take care of your regular obligations such as work and family life. This is why so many couples choose to hire a Wedding Coordinator.
When Should I Hire a Wedding Coordinator?
The best time to hire a Wedding Coordinator is anytime! Realistically the sooner you hire a Wedding Coordinator the more you will benefit from their professional expertise and utilize all their resources. They can help you with many aspects from engagement all the way to the wedding day. Take advantage of what they can offer to save you valuable time and money!
When the day finally arrives the Wedding Coordinator will be the main person in charge of making sure everything comes together, work with the venue and vendors, keep a timeline of the day’s events and make sure everything flows as smoothly as possible.
If any unforseen problems or issues arise, they will be the ones to put out fires, resolve conflict, come up with solutions on the spot and generally keep things moving along. You and your guests will never see or hear about any of this because it is all done behind the scenes very discreetly so you can enjoy the day worry-free.

What is the Primary Role of the Wedding Coordinator?
Wedding Coordinators can help you make informed decisions. Their role is to guide and assist you in making your dream wedding a reality. They are not there to take over and make every decision for you. They will act as a mentor, a friend and someone who has your best interests at heart.
Their intention is to execute your vision once all the planning and details are in place. They will make recommendations for all the professional services you will need for your wedding and offer trustworthy advice so you can feel confident in your decisions.
A Wedding Coordinator can save you time and money. Often times they are able to take advantage of special discounts and can negotiate lower rates with vendors such as DJs, florists, bakeries, caterers, and photographers that the couple cannot. This is a huge benefit that can keep you from over spending. A wedding coordinator can help keep track of your spending by creating a budget and making sure you are staying within your financial boundaries.
