Flower Walls & Backdrops

Your wedding day is one of the most important and emotional milestones of your life. Months of planning, countless decisions, and hours of dreaming all come together in just one day. The last thing you want is to be distracted by timelines, vendor calls, or setting up decorations when you should be soaking in every moment. That’s where a day-of coordinator comes in — ensuring everything runs smoothly so you can focus on saying “I do.”

But here’s the truth — not all coordinators are the same. The person you choose will be responsible for managing your timeline, overseeing vendors, troubleshooting last-minute issues, and making sure your vision comes to life exactly as planned. That’s why it’s important to do your research, ask the right questions, and find someone who truly understands your needs.

Why Interviews Matter

Just like you wouldn’t hire a photographer without seeing their work, you shouldn’t hire a coordinator without an in-depth conversation. Ask about their process, how they handle unexpected changes, and their experience with weddings similar to yours. A good coordinator will have a clear plan, be proactive in problem-solving, and be able to provide real examples of how they’ve successfully managed past events.

Looking Beyond Price

It can be tempting to base your decision solely on cost, but the right coordinator will bring value far beyond their fee. Experience, vendor relationships, and the ability to anticipate challenges are qualities that can save you time, stress, and even money in the long run. Instead of focusing only on the price tag, consider the peace of mind you’ll gain knowing that someone capable and trustworthy is in charge.

Finding the Right Fit

Your coordinator will be by your side throughout your wedding day, so personality and communication style are just as important as experience. You should feel comfortable sharing your vision, asking questions, and trusting them to make decisions on your behalf. The best coordinators not only execute your plan — they care about your day as much as you do.
