bias?
maybe, but also not really!

Ah, the big day is almost here—time to trade in the “I’m engaged” status for “I’m married!” But wait, are you still wondering whether to go all in with a full wedding planner or just snag an on-the-day coordinator? At Days Like These Events, we’re here to clear up the confusion with a splash of wit and a sprinkle of wedding magic.

Wedding Planner vs. On-The-Day Coordinator: What’s the Deal?

Picture this: a wedding planner is your behind-the-scenes superhero. From day one, they’re crafting your wedding vision, managing your budget, coordinating with vendors, and keeping your stress levels in check. They’re the ultimate wedding whisperer, turning your dream day into a seamless reality with their vast expertise and creative flair.

Now, an on-the-day coordinator is like your wedding day’s personal cheerleader and problem-solver. They step in to ensure everything runs smoothly on the big day itself. Think of them as your wedding day’s conductor, orchestrating every detail from the ceremony to the reception. They’re there to handle any hiccups, manage the timeline, and make sure you and your guests are sipping champagne and dancing the night away without a hitch.

At Days Like These, we have an option to have a wedding planner on call for a minimum of 10 hours. This is a great option to get you started on your own planning journey, whilst knowing you have added support just a quick email or text message away. Then we will always recommend that you have us there on the day to be there for YOU. We are your wedding bestie and we want the best for you on the day, no task is too big or small for our team.

CONTROVERSIAL – but I’m going to say it, you always need a Wedding Coordinator even if your venue has a venue manager or coordinator and here’s why…

Why Do You Need an On-The-Day Coordinator, Even If Your Venue Has a Coordinator?

Great question! While venue coordinators are fantastic at handling venue-specific details, they often don’t cover the broader spectrum of your wedding day. They’re focused on the venue’s interests—think set-up, layout, and catering specifics. But who’s making sure your florist arrives on time? Or managing that surprise flash mob? That’s where our on-the-day coordinators shine!

Here’s why having an on-the-day coordinator is a game-changer:

1.    Seamless Execution: We handle every detail, ensuring your vision is brought to life without a hitch, leaving you free to enjoy your day.

2.    Vendor Management: We coordinate with all your vendors, making sure everyone is on the same page and on time in the 2 weeks before the day.

3.    Problem-Solving Magic: They do not call us wedding wizards for nothing. From minor hiccups to major mishaps, our team is equipped to handle any unexpected surprises so you don’t have to.

4.    Guest Experience: We ensure your guests are well taken care of and your timeline is followed, so everyone has an unforgettable time – and we can promise parents LOVE us.
