Today was another long day full of deadlines and dissatisfied customers. It didn’t help that you had to spend your breaks and lunch hour on the phone with another round of florists. One of them is bound to understand your vision – and your budget – eventually…right?!? Sigh. The weekend is here, but you’re exhausted thinking about it. Another payment is due on the venue and there’s a cake tasting on Sunday. Somewhere along the way you need to remind your maid of honor to order her dress – again. For a moment you wonder if this is how your wedding day is going to feel? Will you be putting out fires the whole day? Although it's exhausting, you’re happy to have your finger on every detail of the planning. But do you want to delegate and coordinate on your wedding day? You imagined it being a lot more relaxing and enjoyable.
It might be time to consider a day-of wedding coordinator. Unlike the name suggests, a day of coordinator usually comes in about a month before your event to help you get all the details in order. She’ll start communicating with vendors, confirming arrival times and coordinating timelines. She’ll make sure the groom gets to the alter and mom gets seated in her place of honor. Your wedding day coordinator will handle any crisis that come up as well as make sure you get a plate of food. They can be a godsend to the DIY bride and well worth the investment.
