Why You Should Hire a Day of Coordinator

You’ve spent months (maybe years!) planning, pinning, emailing, and organizing every little detail. You know your color palette by heart, your timeline is in your head, and you’ve checked your seating chart so many times you could recite it in your sleep. But here’s the truth: on wedding day, you do not want to be the one answering questions like:

• “Where should we plug in the DJ’s extension cord?”

• “What time is the florist arriving?”

• “Who’s supposed to light the candles before guests walk in?”

• “Uncle Bob wants to know where to park his RV—what should I tell him?”

That’s where a day-of coordinator comes in. Think of us as the best wedding insurance policy you can buy (without the boring fine print).

What Does a Day-of Coordinator Actually Do?

In short, we take all those little details you’ve worked so hard on and make sure they actually happen. We’re the ones behind the scenes:

• Managing vendors – We check in with every single vendor, confirm arrival times, and troubleshoot any hiccups. You’ll never know if the cake got stuck in traffic, because we’ll handle it.

• Keeping the timeline on track – We’re basically professional timekeepers, making sure your ceremony starts on time, your photographer gets golden hour shots, and no one misses the cake cutting.

• Solving problems before you notice them – Did your flower girl drop her basket in the parking lot? Did the groom’s boutonniere mysteriously vanish? You won’t even hear about it—we’ll fix it before it ever reaches your ears.

• Being the go-to person for questions – Instead of you (or your mom, or your maid of honor) being bombarded with questions, everyone comes to us. You get to sip champagne and soak in the moment.

Why It’s Worth It

Here’s the thing: even if you’re the most organized, Type-A bride out there, you shouldn’t have to “work” your own wedding. Your job is to celebrate, not coordinate. A day-of coordinator is the safety net that allows you to relax and actually enjoy the day you’ve dreamed about.

I’ve watched brides who tried to do it all themselves end up stressed, flustered, and unable to be fully present. And I’ve watched brides with a day-of coordinator laugh, dance, and float through their day because they knew someone else had it all under control.

Hiring a day-of coordinator isn’t about handing over control—it’s about handing over stress. You still get to make all the fun decisions leading up to the wedding, but on the big day, you get to be the guest of honor instead of the project manager.

And trust me—when you’re twirling on the dance floor with your new spouse, not worrying about a single logistical detail, you’ll be so glad you did.
