When entering into the wedding planning process it can become very overwhelming. While you may have the support of family & friends, once the engagement excitement life returns to normal life, the planning phase begins. Many brides think they will only need a Day of Coordinator, but in reality they really need a Wedding Planner.

Here’s the rundown on the difference.

Wedding Planners are responsible for:

1. Providing vendor referrals and scheduling/attending all vendor meetings and booking your vendors.
2. Creating detailed timelines and layouts.
3. Manages your budget.
4. Directs/attends wedding rehearsal.
5. Attends and oversees everything on your wedding day.

Day of Coordinators are responsible for:

1. Meets with you four to six weeks before your big day to run over what you have planned and booked thus far.
2. Checks in with your vendor team to run over contracts & logistics.
3. Attends the final walk-through of venue sites.
4. Manages any last minute timeline or layout changes.
5. Attends and oversees everything on your wedding day.

When booking a planner or day of coordinator ask yourself a few things. Are you an organized, hands on bride who knows exactly what she wants? If you answered yes, go with a Day of Coordinator.

OR

Are you stuck at square one and have no idea what you want or envision for your big day? If you answered yes, go with a Wedding Planner.
