Are you wondering if you should hire a wedding coordinator in St. Louis? Do you that you have the time, tools, and abilities to plan and organize every detail of your wedding yourself? It definitely could be doable, as a couple, to plan out all the details, but it could come with stress and unnecessary worry. However, if you hired a wedding coordinator, that could alleviate a lot of the stress and worry. There are many things that can come up in planning that you never even thought about.
A coordinator is going to be there to remind you of those things and to help with timing when the wedding gets off schedule. Below are some key reasons why hiring a wedding coordinator in St. Louis is a must for your wedding day!
Should I Hire a Wedding Coordinator in St. Louis?
Emergencies
In many cases, there are small “emergencies” at every wedding. Imagine you are about to walk down the aisle and one of the bridesmaids accidentally steps on your dress and leaves a stain. Well, a coordinator will have stain remover to get rid of that stain ASAP. Picture this scenario, a flower girl is nowhere to be found and you are about to walk down the aisle. The coordinator will track down the flower girl and make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. There are several different types of “small emergencies” but that is the coordinator’s job to handle them, not yours. Having them there relieves the stress and responsibility on you so that you can worry about walking down the aisle to marry the love of your life!
Vendor Coordination
Coordinators will call, email, text, and begin communicating with all vendors prior to the event. They will coordinate with other vendors and not only introduce themselves but start formulating a timeline After finalizing the wedding day timeline, there will be not a minute uncounted for on your schedule. This timeline will include the time that all vendors arrive at the venue and a timeline for the bridal party to follow throughout the day. This timeline will only set you and all the vendors up for success. All of this will give you a sense that everything has time to happen, and organized with ease!
Wedding Coordinator Day Of Duties
Decor
Many times the coordinator will be onsite overseeing the setting up. It is the coordinator’s job to fix any of the decors that is not placed correctly. This requires an in-depth meeting with your coordinator. They will find out what you are bringing, what any decor vendors are bringing, and the placement of every single decor item. Now I know that is not something you want to worry about on your big day.
Time Keeper
The official term I like to call Coordinators is a timekeeper. Sure, all weddings and events get a little bit off track in terms of timing. This is why we create timelines. It is the coordinator’s job to feel out the crowd and know when to start toasts, cake cutting, and special dances. Having a coordinator will keep you on track and enjoy the day. The coordinator will stick to the timeline and set everyone up for success.
The Details
As I mentioned before, coordinators create the timelines. Believe it or not, no matter how organized you are, things can still go array the day of the wedding. Having a coordinator to help with those things is key. You should be enjoying the lovely company of the guests that decided to celebrate this special day with you. You spent hours upon hours envisioning and bringing your dreams to life. This is your time to enjoy that day. Allow yourself the luxury of having a coordinator. It’s the least you can do for yourself and your wedding day.
