Every little girl dreams of her wedding day, and in her dreams it is perfect. Everything from the dress to the flowers, food and music are perfectly coordinated. She doesn’t dream of stress, blown budgets, late vendors, wilted flowers or bad photographs, but any married woman can tell you that these kinds of wedding disasters are common. The best way to ensure that your day will be everything you’ve dreamed of is to hire a wedding coordinator.
Plan the Wedding
The coordinator’s usefulness begins soon after the engagement, helping you initialize plans for your special day. A good wedding coordinator will take the time to get to know you and the groom, your likes and dislikes and gather details about how you envision your wedding day. They will use this information to help you plan every detail of the event so that it is fabulous for you.
Connections
Because they are in the business, wedding coordinators have connections. They have built solid working relationships with the managers of various venues for your reception or with florists, entertainers and photographers. A good coordinator will negotiate with the most sought-after vendors and ensure the best possible service.
Save Money
Wedding coordinators can help you save money in a variety of ways. They have connections with local vendors and can often obtain discounts from them. They have learned where corners can be cut without sacrificing the quality, and they have the experience to offer low cost alternatives that will give you the most bang for your buck. A professional wedding coordinator should end up saving you as much or more than the fee they charge.
Save Time
According to government statistics, the average age that people are getting married for the first time in the is between 28 to 31 for women and 29 to 33 for men. There are also more two-income families today than ever before. What this means to most couples, is that they are severely stretched when it comes to time. Wedding coordinators take responsibility for many of your wedding tasks. They are working for you, so that you can concentrate on keeping your life in balance.
Cheers to a stress free wedding day!

Maribeth Meijer - Jessica’s ‘day-of’ co-ordination was the best gift my daughter gave to herself, the groom and me (the mother-of-the-bride). She took care of all those little (yet critical) details, allowing us to just enjoy the day. THANK YOU Jessica and Event Decorator!August 15, 2010 – 2:00 pm
