Do You Need a Coordinator?

Do You Need a Coordinator?


Everyone can use a helping hand. As busy as today's couples are, this is especially true. There are so many tasks to perform when planning a wedding. Budget planning finding a venue, finding a dress, finding a baker, coming up with a guest list, addressing and assembling save-the-dates, invitations, maps, etc. Then there is the cake tasting, menu planning, flower picking (well picking a florist), arranging transportation...and the list goes on. So where in all of this is the time for romance, celebrations, bridal showers, engagment parties, WORK (ya gotta pay for all this, right?), and the always needed relaxation?

You might be fortunate enough to have an army of friends and family to help with all of this. That is great, if they have time. How many of these people have the connections and experience to find vendors in your budget? Or have the time to help you accomplish all of these tasks and design a beautiful event? These are just a few of the things a Professional can do for you.

I found a great list of just some of the things a professional can do for you at FrugalBride.com:

The list is long but here are a few of the duties you can expect:

Help you to create the type of wedding you want. With that knowledge, you will be able to pick your venue, vendors, color scheme, theme, music, etc.

Help you create a budget sheet and keep track of where your money is going and how much is still owing.

Help keep you on your budget and not go over...too much!!

Suggest vendors that fit your budget and ideas.

Make a wedding planning schedule so that you know what you've done and what still needs to be done.

In most cases, a coordinator can save you money because of their connection in the industry.

Take care of any emergencies that arise.

Create a wedding day schedule.

Best Wishes,

Tiff
