Wedding Planning
What Does a Wedding Coordinator Actually Do on the Day?
From the outside, wedding coordination can look like standing around with a clipboard. In practice, it's a lot more than that.
Before the ceremony
Overseeing setup and styling, briefing the MC and vendors on the run sheet, checking everyone's arrived on time, and quietly solving the small problems before they become visible ones.
During the ceremony and reception
Cueing every key moment — entrances, speeches, cake cutting, first dance — and managing the timeline in real time so nothing runs late or gets missed.
Behind the scenes, all day
Being the single point of contact for every vendor, so you're never the one fielding a question about where the flowers go or when the band should start.
When something goes wrong
Every wedding has at least one small hiccup — weather, a late delivery, a missing detail. A good coordinator carries an emergency kit and handles it quietly, so you find out about it afterwards, if at all.
