If you’re planning your wedding, you’ve probably heard:
“You need a wedding coordinator.”
True. But what does that actually mean?
If you’re investing in one, you should know exactly what they’re doing and what you’re not doing yourself.

They handle your timeline, vendors, rehearsal, and details. These are things your venue simply does not cover.
A wedding coordinator is not just managing logistics.
They are making sure:
