(Newswire.net — October 15, 2019) — If you’re going to ask any engaged couple about wedding planning, we bet each of them would say that it takes a lot of effort and much of their time than previously thought. To ease this sentiment, here comes the wedding coordinator or planner to the rescue! However, many people, when they hear such, immediately back out, thinking: “I can’t afford it” or “I want to be hands-on in my wedding”. While they are reasonable reactions, thinking such may actually cause you more money. So, what are the benefits of hiring a wedding coordinator?

Benefits of Hiring a Wedding Coordinator

Hiring a wedding coordinator doesn’t mean you won’t be involved in the planning process. You can choose from the different levels of coordination one offers, such as day of coordinator duties or month-of coordinator. Let’s check out how a wedding coordinator can help!

1. They save you time and money

Wedding planning is a time-consumer and money-eater! No matter how intimate or private (with only a few guests) you want your wedding to be, it will still take hours and hours of planning and preparation. Aside from helping you plan your wedding coordinator will be the middleman between you and the wedding vendors.

Likewise, wedding coordinators are knowledgeable when it comes to industry and market prices. They can provide you advice on which areas to prioritize spending bucks on and those that aren’t as important. In short, wedding coordinators help you get the most out of your wedding budget!

2. They provide valuable advice

Professional wedding coordinators and planners know the ins and out of the industry. They know which venues can cater to the number and needs of your guests, as well as one that fits your budget. They know which vendor will provide the atmosphere that you expect — think about which wedding DJ, florist, or caterer to get.

3. They organize your ideas into your dream wedding

You have all these great ideas in your head. Who’s going to be your partner in making sure they are put into the right places? Your wedding coordinator will ‘coordinate’ with the vendors, organize the details of the wedding, and create a timeline of your big day. And you? You just have to enjoy the remaining days you are single.

4. They act on your behalf on your big day

So, this is it! Of course, as the individual getting married, you would want to remain as the blooming person throughout the event. But what if your photographer is calling you for some minor details? One of the reasons to hire a day of coordinator is to avoid stress on your big day. Let your wedding coordinator be the contact person for all questions and issues.

5. They deal with on-the-day issues

You can plan and plan, but something will always fall short of your expectations. As they say, no wedding is perfect. But, the benefits of having a day of wedding coordinator? They can put out “fires” – big or small – on your big day. Wedding coordinators are trained to handle problems to the point that you and the guests won’t notice something occurred.

What is the difference between a wedding planner and a wedding coordinator?

A wedding coordinator and a wedding planner may have similar responsibilities;, but they do differ from one another. They help you with the preparations and act as the point of contact on the day of the wedding.

Do you really need a wedding coordinator?

Yes! We recommend getting a wedding coordinator, even just for the day of the wedding. Expect to work with them weeks before the big day to finalize and confirm wedding details.
