FAQs

When do we begin working with our wedding coordinator?

You will have unlimited contact with a coordinator from the day you book- through wedding day! We ask you to communicate through text or email, so we can have a written record of your ideas and plans.

Your coordinator will contact you 60 days out and set up a meeting to begin gathering your plans and details up to that point. They’ll double check all logistics, figure out if anything isn’t planned for yet, or delegate tasks as needed to ensure smooth setup and teardowns/any plans for every vendor involved in your wedding day. They are responsible for creating a detailed timeline for you and all vendors to have. They will also take over the communication with your entire vendor team, to be sure everyone has their needs met and the plans will work for everyone.

Should I hire a wedding coordinator?

The short answer – yes! If you don’t already have a wedding planner and don’t plan to get one, a day-of coordinator takes the stress off your shoulders so you can relax on your actual wedding day, for less than the cost of a wedding planner. They make sure your wedding is set up perfectly to your vision, make sure your vendors arrive on time, and are your go-to for anything you need that day! If there’s an issue, you will likely never know because they got it handled without needing to bother you. They’ve got you! 

How much does a day-of coordinator cost?

The price of a wedding coordinator varies depending on length of service requested, the date and location of event(s), and how much assistance is desired for setup and teardown of your wedding. On average our wedding coordinators are hired for 8-12 hours, and typically costs between $1,895 and $2,495 depending on the date and location of event(s).

Is gratuity included? How much do I tip?

Gratuity is not included in the price of your service. Whatever you feel is best to tip your professional(s) at the end of the night is up to you! While 10% to 20% tips for wedding vendors is a guide; nothing is expected, but it’s always appreciated!

What if I need more time than what is allotted in my contract for the services? What if I need more time the night-of?

If you need more time than what you booked prior to your event, you’re able to add time on at any point (even the night-of) with any service for an additional charge! Just let us know, and we’ll take care of you on your special day!
