Day of Coordinators for Weddings
Congrats on your engagement!
You are probably wondering... "Do really I need a wedding coordinator?"
First, day-of coordinators aren’t cheap. Professional, experienced day-of coordinators usually charge between $1,500-$5,000 per day.
Unless your wedding is over 200 guests, your venue’s standard maître d’ will probably be able to handle everything for you with ease.
Let’s figure out what you DO NEED:
Reasons You May Actually Need a Day-of Coordinator for your Wedding
You have a non-traditional venue like a barn/backyard (or your venue doesn’t offer a maître d’
You have a very large wedding; 200+ guests
You are getting married at a very large property with a lot of travel involved
You have an extravagant wedding planned with performances and tons of vendors
Your event require a lot of prep and decor done or clean up needed
Your ceremony is outside and not connected with the venue, or the venue is not a part of running it
You expect a lot of family and friends drama or you have high maintence needs
*Keep in mind, most venues include a maître d already to help you

The Most Important Thing is actually YOUR TIMELINE
Ok… You’ve decided you don’t need a day of wedding coordinator. But you’ve never been married before…. It’s going to be hard to create your own timeline.
- Do you really understand how long certain things should take like getting ready and portraits?
- Do you know when to have hair and makeup start in relation to your ceremony?
- Do you know when your photographer should arrive and not over pay for hours you don’t need?
- Does your family know where and when to arrive? Did you allot them time to check in to hotels?
- Did you account for rain plans?
- Did you plan for a first look and know how long that takes?
- Did you account for missing the cocktail hour?
- Do you have time for a receiving line?
- Do you have any idea when cake is cut to know when to end photography?
- Is your ceremony BEFORE sunset so you still have daylight?
- Did you plan adequate time to put on your dress and account for accidents like spills or sewing broken buttons?
- Did you account for travel? Traffic? Late Limos? Closed bridges and detours?
This is just a FRACTION of our what our wedding expects can help you with and have experience in.
Your Wedding Timeline MUST expect the unexpected — have a professional create one for you and save money.
Other options to consider:
Hire/pay a friend, who is a guest, with the added responsibility of helping you on your wedding day. They may not be professional, but a couple hundred bucks thrown their way may be worth an extra hour throughout the day
Reach out to friends or yours who have been married, or Facebook Groups local to you, with tips and advice on planning your wedding
