Frequently Asked Questions

A coordinator steps in during the final weeks before your wedding to organize details, communicate with vendors, create and manage timelines, run your rehearsal, oversee setup, and ensure everything runs smoothly on wedding day. The goal is for you, your family, and your wedding party to enjoy the celebration instead of managing logistics.

Yes, absolutely! A venue coordinator works for the venue and focuses on venue-related operations...think unlocking doors, setting up tables, restocking toilet paper.

A coordinator works exclusively for you, overseeing your vendors, timeline, décor setup, wedding party, family members, and all the details that make your day uniquely yours. 

A wedding planner is involved throughout the entire planning process, recommending or sometimes even booking all the vendors, curating your design elements, and walking you through everything from start to finish. 

A wedding coordinator takes over closer to the wedding to execute the plans you've already made and ensure everything runs according to your plans. Basically, you're still the planner leading up to the wedding, and I just take over your day/weekend.

This is probably the most common question I hear. And it’s a fair one! You likely have people in your life who are willing to pitch in and help make your day amazing. But here’s the thing: a wedding day is a massive moving puzzle with a hundred little details that need to be handled, most of which you’d never think about until they pop up.

Here’s just a partial list of what I/most coordinators might do in a single wedding day:

I "officially" started my business in August of 2024, but I have been planning and coordinating events and weddings long before then! I've been directing a non-profit for 7 years!

No! I specialize in taking the ideas and plans that you already have made and being the go to person on the day of your wedding. I work for DIY brides that want to do the planning, shopping, and designing, but need someone to make it all happen while they are enjoying their day.

To provide the best experience possible, I limit the number of weddings I accept so every couple receives my full attention and support. I typically like to take just one wedding per month, but if I have a smaller hour commitment wedding I will sometimes take up to two weddings per month.

At this time, I do not have a rental inventory. I take the decorations that you have and set them up to your specifications. This allows you to purchase items from marketplace, use items from friends, or get some Amazon steals. Best part is, then you can sell your own decorations after the wedding to get some of your money back rather than have it just disappear with the rentals.

I've worked with and set up rental items from different local rental companies, and I'm happy to give recommendations! (Check out my preferred vendors page!)

Yes, for sure! I send you a pretty comprehensive google doc asking for all the info when it comes to your decor and vision for your day. You fill this out, and we'll do a zoom call around 2 weeks before your wedding. We chat, I clarify any things I don't understand, and I take time to make sure I completely understand your vision. When I'm on site for decorating, it's just me, so the decorating of the reception space typically takes up the full morning. I'll take breaks and do other things as they come up (welcome vendors, check on hair/makeup timeline, etc.), but my main focus is decorating the space in the morning.

As far as tear down, I will start this when the dance begins (around 7:30-8pm typically). I'll start by removing table decor from "special" tables such as guestbook or gift tables. Then, as guest tables are vacated and people are busy dancing, I'll sneakily remove table decor. I do this very discreetly, and most people don't even notice I'm doing so :) I remove table decor items, and I'll carefully place them back in your boxes & totes. Once filled, I stack these boxes/totes right next to whichever door is closest to the parking lot. Packed, stacked, and ready for just a few of your helpers to grab & load. 

-I do not do any cutting of sheet cakes. I'm happy to set out other pre-portioned desserts (cupcakes, cookies, etc.) and bulk snacks/appetizers (chex mix, popcorn, etc). Sheet cake cutting and plating simply takes way too much of my time that could be spent elsewhere :)

-I do not set up tables & chairs...most venues do this. Check with yours!

-I do not carry in or out any totes/boxes from the couple's car. You are responsible for having helpers lined up to do so. 

-I also will not take cards or gifts out to someone's car. 

I'll gladly make sure these things get done by your designated people.

I am certified by the CWP (Certified Wedding Planner) Society. I am also trained as a ServSafe food handler. I am insured and can provide a COI if your venue requests it!

Your first step will be to fill out my potential client inquiry form.  (below) This will help me gather most of the important information I need to give you a quote of what my services will cost you. Please be as detailed as you can be with what you are needing support with. I'll reach out via email with any questions I have. From there, I'll give you a quote. You can look that over, and we can schedule a time to chat via phone if you have any questions. If you'd like to move forward, I will send a contract. Once that is signed and your 50% deposit is paid, we're good to go!
