What is the difference between a VENUE Coordinator and WEDDING Coordinator? This is definitely one of our most commonly asked question, and it's such an important one! Venue Coordinators are amazing and extremely knowledgeable about their specific venue. Their focus is on creating a safe and comfortable environment for you and your guests. So much of what they do is managing things behind the scenes, which leaves little time to manage other personal reques...ts like set-up on the day-of. If your venue is small or if you are using a personal home or cottage then chances are you don't have a venue coordinator. As Month-Of Wedding Coordinators, we are focused on your personal wishes and needs. We begin working with you a month before your wedding to review your plans and get to know you better. On the day-of your event we are executing the designs and plans you worked so hard on. We coordinate timing and vendor needs, help with family/bridal party dynamics, make sure there is a plan B & C, and get hands-on with set-up & tear down. We are the go-to person for vendors and guests so that you can truly enjoy and fully experience your wedding day. Still, have questions? Don't be shy, comment below or send us a DM. See more
