Day of Coordination

This starts three (3) to six (6) weeks before your wedding, usually immediately.
The few weeks to a month before your wedding are the most stressful time of all,
especially if you are trying to figure out who will take care of all the logistics on the
“Day Of”. You might have thought you or a family member could but are now
thinking it would be better to hire someone so you and your family can enjoy every
part of your day. If you have all your plans in place but need someone there on the
“Day of” to oversee all your vendors, yourself, your timeline, and the wedding party;
our team is designed to help you. We will set up a meeting to discuss your plans
your bridal party, and a list of all your vendors. We are available to confirm your
vendors and make sure last-minute payments are made to your vendors. On the
day of your wedding, we will make sure all vendors show up on time and we will
guide them where to go. This package includes all items listed above starting at
the wedding rehearsal.

*** Please note with any Day-Of- Coordination, any wedding held at a
Community Center, Winery, Historic Property, or Private Property (any location
that does not have staff included as part of your rental), you will be asked as
part of your contract to determine four (4) to six (6) volunteers that can assist
the day of the ceremony or reception with set-up. If you have a caterer that will
assist with setting up all the tables and chairs as part of your contract and
location staff that will set up chairs for the ceremony, this requirement may not
be necessary. If you do not have volunteers that can assist, additional
charges may apply to hire a crew to help set-up. The number of staff will be
determined about a month before the event when schedules and floor plans
are developed and are billed in addition to any of the above contracts.
