Do I really need a wedding coordinator?- Part2


Welcome back to my series on why having a wedding coordinator can be a very valuable asset to you in your attempts to plan your wedding. Last blog I talked about how even though some people believe that having a wedding coordinator is too expensive, they are definitely worth every penny because of their insight and their loyalty to you. This blog I’ll be giving my rebuttal on the complaint: I can do it all myself!

As much fun as it looks to hand make all the details and favors for your wedding, it is a lot of work. Let’s be honest, most of us have very busy schedules. How in the world are you supposed to manage your own schedule and try to plan the biggest day of your life while remaining calm and taking care of yourself?! Having someone else coordinate your big day and all your appointments leading up to, helps take some of the stress off of you. In the absence of a coordinator, who runs your wedding? You, friends, family? It can be extremely overwhelming when you start looking at to-do lists and trying to find everything on your own. Let’s face it, sometimes family and friends can be extremely helpful and supportive but when you let someone who’s passion is making your big day more than what you dreamed it to be, you’re going to be satisfied. This allows you to enjoy your day and relax a little bit. 

A full coordinator normally would take care of everything from coordinating appointments beforehand, designing the wedding, cooperating with venders, and even making sure that you have something to eat and drink on your wedding day when you’re too excited to remember your basic needs. Even “Day Of” coordinators will help make sure your vendors are in the know and everything runs smoothly. When you don’t have to worry about where vendors will park or in what order your bridal party walks in, you can focus on taking mental pictures of the day that you marry your sweetheart. 

Food for thought: If you don’t have a coordinator, do you know who would cut your wedding cake? What about when you’re getting into your wedding dress and family is hopelessly lost, who would they call? Hopefully I’ve won you over by now but just in case you need a little more persuading, in my next blog I’ll be telling you why you would want a professional opinion. Until next time, happy planning!
