What I Do
What is a Wedding Coordinator?
Great question! Wedding coordinators are the ones who know and execute your vision for your dream wedding leading up to and on your wedding day. They keep track of all the details of your wedding and make sure you, the bride, can enjoy your wedding day, knowing a person you trust has everything under control. And will handle any situations that may not go exactly as planned, so that you don't have to know!
What will I do as your Wedding Coordinator?
-
Compile a list of all your vendors and their contact information. See page 8 on the checklist below.
-
Make an official wedding day timeline. We will walk through this together to make sure everything is accounted for, then I will send it to all your vendors. See page 5 on the checklist below.
-
A monthly check-in. At least once a month I will schedule a meeting with you, in person or virtually, to make sure we are on track with the planning process. This is a time for us to both ask questions and make sure all the details are covered.
-
Attend your final venue walkthrough. If I am in your area, I will join your final walkthrough to make sure the timeline we have finalized and the space for the vendors is nailed down.
-
Run your rehearsal. If you are having a rehearsal (which I recommend!), I will be there to direct your rehearsal and give instructions to the bridal party, officiant, and any others involved in the actual ceremony (ushers, ring bearers, flower girls, grandparents... etc.)
-
Handle all things wedding day. Think of me as the director and stage manager of your wedding day. I will not put a start and stop time to my working hours that day, I will be with you all day, from getting ready until all the guests have gone and the clean-up has finished.
-
If asked, offer advice. Feel free to run by me any ideas or ask my opinion during any part of the wedding planning process. I have been to a few weddings...I've seen many different things done; some good, some bad. I am always happy to provide perspective if you are wondering if a certain wedding trend will work in your wedding.
How many hours do I work as your coordinator?
The base rate I will charge is for 40 hours. This includes about 22 hours of pre-wedding work, 1-2 hours of rehearsal coordinating, and about 16-17 hours of wedding day coordination. If we go over 40 hours, you will not be charged any additional fees.
When do I start working on your wedding?
As soon as you hire me! You will have me throughout your planning process to keep track of and walk with you through all the details weddings require.
Does my base coordinating fee include travel?
Partially. If I am traveling within an hour radius of the Newtown/Philadelphia, PA area you do not pay for my travel, it is included in the base price.
If I am traveling anywhere outside of an hour's radius of the Newtown/Philadelphia area, the base price does not include accommodations for the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding (if needed). It also does not include the price of a plane ticket price, if I need to fly to your wedding. If you have questions about travel costs, please let me know!
