What a Day-of (or Month-of) Coordinator Does

A coordinator steps in closer to the wedding date. They manage logistics, confirm vendors, build the timeline, and run the day so you can be fully present. Many ‘day-of’ packages actually begin 4–8 weeks before the wedding. Check out ours!

How to Decide: 5 Quick Questions

To help you determine which service you need, consider these questions:

• Do you want help building a realistic budget and vendor plan?

• Are you planning from out of town or juggling a busy schedule?

• Do you want design guidance to create a cohesive look?

• Do you feel stressed by decision-making and logistics?

• Do you have a complex venue setup (multiple spaces, rentals, tight timelines)?

  
  

A Simple Rule of Thumb

If you want support from the beginning and prefer not to carry the mental load alone, choose full-service planning. If you’ve already booked most vendors and want a professional to take over logistics and execution, coordination may be sufficient.
