Let’s go straight to the heart of the matter:  Day Of Coordination DOES NOT EXIST.  Yes, you read this correctly, there is no such thing as Day Of Coordination.  I know, I know…it is hard to believe when so many planning companies out there have this term as part of their services.

Here’s the thing for you, our couples to think about for a second.  Are you really expecting a coordinator to just come in on the DAY OF your wedding and magically coordinate everything without any previous discussions or groundwork?  Of course not!  Planning a wedding takes months, and for some, maybe even a year or two.  Coordination is such a detailed job description, requiring plenty of detailed work, laying out the groundwork, connecting all the pieces together, generate timelines, production schedules, all to ensure your wedding day is a stress-free, well-oiled machine produced enjoyable day for you and your guests.

So, in reality, what you are seeking is Wedding Event Management.  You want your event manager to manage all those details you have meticulously worked on for months on end.  You want your manager to bring your vision to life with all those final details, manage and execute your day, so you can focus on what is important to you!

When you, as a bride or groom, hear or read the term, “Day Of”, your brain immediately sends a message letting you know you “just need someone for the day”.  Sure, you DO need someone for the day, but you really need someone who has all the information, the skillset, and the knowledge of what is important to YOU!  Yes, as planners and event managers, we have planned and managed countless of weddings and while all weddings share similar protocols, no wedding is ever alike.
