One
of the services that Celebrations
by Amy Bacon offers
is our Day-of Coordinating Package. It’s a common misconception that couples
believe our service will only include the actual day. Day-of Coordinators do a
lot more than show up on the day of your wedding and we would like to give you
a little more information on what Day-of Coordination involves.

Our
Day-Of Wedding Package means the bride is responsible for doing the majority of
her own planning. Please remember, in order for your planner to do her job –
and do it well - she will need to know every
detail you have planned. No detail is too small! After all,
it’s ALL in the details, right?
So,
if you decide to have a cigar or espresso bar at the last minute, your planner
needs to know. If you want to include a wine ceremony with your vows
or want to surprise your family with a special soloist singing at the ceremony,
the planner needs to know that, too! A good planner will be asking
MANY questions about your day; perhaps even asking you to fill out some
questionnaires, as sometimes those tiny types of details can fall through
the cracks. We believe that communication is imperative.
A
reputable planner starts coordinating the final details of your wedding at least
a month out. We have time-lines to create, vendors to contact, coordination of deliveries, confirming of
final payments and of course,
going over every little detail with a fine toothed comb to ensure nothing
has been over looked. We can, and have jumped in when hired two
weeks out from the wedding! However, the more time you allow us to
be involved, the better.

Speaking of time-lines your planner should also be creating a detailed itinerary for you, your wedding party, and all your vendors; and this too takes time. Scheduling all the vendors, letting everyone know where to be and at what time, those important contact names, cell numbers and emergency backup contacts … these things can’t be gathered on the “Day-Of.” It all takes work, organizational skills, experience and a lot of time!
Trust
us,
you don’t want a planner who says they’re just going to show up on
your wedding day and run everything; making sure everyone is doing what
they are supposed to be doing, when they are supposed to be doing it.
By then it will be too late and much more difficult to fix any
problems. Your
planner is supposed to ensure that everyone is completing your vision.
This cannot be accomplished if we don’t know what that vision is!
Another
point to remember: we spend at least 40+ hours to ‘simply’ “Day-Of”
coordinate, so while you may want to lean towards the lowest price
planner
you can find, a ridiculously low price quote would tell me this planner
is not going to do all she should be doing. This applies to all wedding
vendors; we believe you get what you pay for. You do not want to
take a risk on this special day.
You
can
ask ANY of our past clients and they will all agree that if you are
getting married you NEED a wedding planner; or should we say you need
us!
If
you would like more information on our Day-of Coordination
packages,
