Reasons Why You Should Hire An ‘On The Day’ Wedding Coordinator

‘On the day’ wedding coordinators can be your saving grace when it comes to having a blast on your wedding day. They can set up, rearrange, deal with fires, field phone calls from late vendors because seriously, you do not need to be worrying about why the cake hasn’t showed up! They let you focus on one thing - being the bride.

Here are the top 3 reasons why you should consider hiring an ‘on the day’ wedding coordinator.

They will allow you to focus on being the bride

Between getting your hair and make up done, to having photos with your bridal party, it’s impossible to be everywhere at once. It’s plain and simple. You can’t be the bride and planner at the same time. It’s important to hand over the reins to someone you trust and soak up every bit of magic about becoming a Mrs. If you don’t focus on being the bride, you might get to the end of the day and really wish you did. And you don’t want ANY regrets on your big day. 

They will be the one contact for all vendors

Even though they’re called an ‘on the day’ wedding coordinator, their role really takes over a couple of months out from the wedding. As the day gets closer, calls from vendors become more frequent and this is when the pressure really starts to build. They take over the correspondence with your vendors and make sure they have all of the appropriate info they need including logistics around pack in, call times, venue address etc. Even then, your vendors will still have questions that pop up on the day. Instead of going to you or someone in your bridal party, an ‘on the day’ wedding coordinator will work with them to make sure they execute their task. If you can include an ‘on the day’ wedding coordinator in your budget, trust us, it will be the best investment you ever make. By taking these responsibilities off your plate, you will be more relaxed and make the most of your special day. 

They are the troubleshooting masters

Every event has its own unique set of challenges and you want to focus on the good (not the bad) on your big day. You’ve planned meticulously for months...what could go wrong? Ah, quite a bit! It’s wrong to assume that absolutely everything will go to plan and you don’t want to be the one dealing with any niggles. Whether it’s a vendor not showing up on time, making sure there is a knife to cut the cake or rearranging furniture for a wet weather plan, an ‘on the day’ wedding coordinator's job is to problem solve, protect you and make sure you don’t know about it!
