When you start planning a wedding, you may be wanting to enlist in the help of a wedding planner or a wedding coordinator. While hiring these individuals to assist in facilitating your perfect wedding day, you may wonder what the differences and similarities are between them. While at first, they may seem pretty much identical, they are actually pretty different.
Wedding Planner
This person is there to make sure your wedding is everything you have envisioned…or for some couples to envision it for them. They help with creating and sticking to a budget, finding and picking vendors and venue as well as often assist in the overall design of your big day. They are also there throughout your whole day to assist with anything that comes up and give you a stress-free day much like a wedding coordinator will do.

Wedding Day Coordinator
This person is perfect for the bride who wants to be hands-on for the planning portion. A Wedding Coordinator is there to make sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. You already have your vendors, venue, and wedding colors picked out. They make your day run smoothly and are the point of contact for vendors on the day.
- Meet 1-3 months out from the wedding
- Tie up loose ends and ensure no detail is missed
- Liaison between you and your vendors
