Wedding Planner

Professional wedding coordinators, consultants and planners can take the stress and headache out of organizing a wedding. Using their industry expertise, they work with the couple to plan what is one of the most important events in many peoples’ lives. They are skilled time managers and mediators, and will often negotiate with suppliers and venues to make sure the couple gets what they want at the price they want. Wedding planners are responsible for ensuring that you stay within your budget, and can help you create a wedding that is unique and personal.

An experienced co-coordinator will be able to keep the couple within their budget and manage planning of all the wedding elements without leaving the couple out. An open line of communication is key in making sure the couples’ wants and needs are met and their voices heard. Ultimately, they are the final decision-makers, while the coordinator’s responsibility is mainly to steer them in the right direction and keep them on track.
