Do you have an event coming up? Have you ever wondered if it was worth making room in the budget to hire a Day of Coordinator? No matter the type of event you are having, we bet you are realizing how chaotic and time-consuming planning an event can be. When you are stressed about the small details of your event, you can lose sight of the big picture. Hiring an Event Coordinator has many benefits, and here is a short list of what your Coordinator can do for you.
How Does an Event Coordinator Benefit You on the Day-Of Your Event?
1. It is like having a personal assistant for your big day.
Your Event Coordinator will not only take care of your vendors, but they will also take care of YOU! Need more water or coffee to get you through the day? Did the flower girl leave her basket in the bridal suite? Need someone to load gifts into Grandma’s car before the night ends? Want your favorite drinks waiting at the head table when you arrive at the reception? We have you covered!!
2. An Event Coordinator will reduce stress for the wedding couple, the wedding party, and your guests.
Have you ever been to a wedding where Aunt Susan cannot enjoy the cocktail hour because she is too busy making sure the candles are lit for the reception? Maybe your Maid of Honor must miss group photos because the floral vendor was running behind. An Event Coordinator takes care of all the side work so your loved ones can enjoy your event and relax.
3. A Day-of Coordinator will manage vendors and staff, so you do not have to.
What door do you load in? Where does the DJ set up? Is there a refrigerator in the back for dinner leftovers? Does anybody have a lighter for candles? What time should we start serving dessert? Why is the caterer 20 minutes late? These are all questions that can be presented to the host during an event unless you hire an Event Coordinator. It is your coordinator’s job to put out the fire behind the scenes and resolve situations on site.
4. Your Event Coordinator brings an emergency kit.
Bobby pins, hairspray, tampons, needle & thread, nail glue, tape, scissors, deodorant, breath mints, lighter, and pain-relief medicine. Those are just a few things your Event Coordinator keeps with them. Nobody wants to make a trip the store 30 minutes before a ceremony start time, and you never know what could go wrong.
5. Details, Details, Details.
Did you know an average wedding has hundreds of details? Yes. Hundreds. It is nearly impossible to enjoy your event when you are too focused on the details. Your Event Coordinator will ensure the flow of your event. A Day of Coordinator will make a timeline down to the very minute, and make sure everyone stays on schedule. Confirming with vendors, managing the rehearsal and ceremony, payment distributions, transporting items to different locations, gift management, decorating and cleaning up are just a few things your Coordinator will take care of.
If you do not hire someone to run your wedding, your wedding will run you. The answer is simple. Hiring an Event Coordinator will ensure you have a better event and an incredible experience you will never forget.
