LET’S ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS!

MY VENUE HAS A COORDINATOR, WHY DO I NEED TO HIRE AN OUTSIDE PLANNER? 

A full-service wedding planner works with you from the moment you get engaged until the execution of your special day. They guide you through every step—setting a budget, securing your venue, booking vendors, and designing each aspect of your wedding, from the ceremony to cocktail hour and reception. Your planner will schedule and attend vendor meetings, offering expert insights on costs, necessities, and optional elements to help you make informed decisions.

During your wedding weekend, they take the lead—coordinating vendors, assisting with venue setup, and ensuring every detail aligns with your vision. They provide vendors with detailed timelines and floor plans in advance, keeping everything organized and running smoothly. Always one step ahead, they not only manage logistics but also serve as a familiar, reassuring presence for you and your bridal party. Their goal is to bring your dream wedding to life, handling both big-picture planning and tiny details so that nothing is overlooked—ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience.

In contrast, a venue coordinator’s primary role is to oversee the venue itself. They ensure the space is properly set up, guide vendors upon arrival, assist with decor if needed, and, if food and beverage are in-house, focus on F&B service. Their responsibilities are venue-specific, whereas a full-service planner is dedicated to your entire wedding experience.
