Why You Should Hire A Destination Wedding Coordinator

By Stephen Hall


Weddings appear simple and easy to plan because you have no idea what the couple went through for months. It is the most challenging event to plan considering that you have to do it on your own. You have no experience and only rely on your imagination. In fact, only a negligible number of people have a wedding of their dream. To have an unforgettable day, it is advisable to have a destination wedding coordinator. What will this coordinator do?

Gives you a reality check on so much but most importantly, the budget. You probably look at weddings and dream of having such, but it requires resources. You need to order services based the amount of money you have. With their experience and exposure, coordinators provide alternatives that allow you to still have a day of your dreams but on a smaller budget. The extra cash can be used to spice it more than you thought.

Working on minor details for the day including specific songs, time, speakers, etc. On the material day, you will be too occupied to know whether decorations were done or the color used, etc. Leave this to the planner to work on minute details.

Provide unthinkable alternatives. Sometimes you fall short of your budget or would like a certain design or tent but it is too expensive. Coordinators have been in the industry for long. They understand your dream and will provide a viable alternative that will still deliver the day of your dream. If a particular venue is occupied, they will offer an alternative that is equally good and convenient. When the budget shoots up, they slice it without lowering the quality you get.

Negotiating finer details with service providers. Services like music, tents, chairs, decorations, catering, etc are provided by businessmen who want to make maximum profit. Some conceal charges and details in paragraphs and words you might not understand. Allow the planner to deal with them since he understands their language from experience. You will avoid disappointment on the material day when what you expected is not delivered.

Organizing service providers. There are multiple players organizing your wedding. Some deliver tents while others decorate. There is catering that requires tables and tents or space at the venue. It will be chaos and a lot of delays if these people are not coordinated. The person you hire gathers them for a meeting to agree on crucial schedules. This ensures that on the big day, everything runs smoothly.

Handling all invitations. Some couples receive calls from close friends and relatives furiously inquiring why they were never invited. Though you prepare a list, you are likely to miss some important people or lack the time to remind them. Coordinators ensure that everyone on your list is invited. They also organize their sitting arrangement, logistics of travel, etc. When you look at the pictures, everyone you wanted to grace your occasion will be there.

To enjoy your wedding, you need to be relaxed. If you have to handle everything, it becomes impossible to enjoy the day. Coordinators take over the responsibility and polish your idea to give you the most memorable day. When you watch the video after honeymoon, you will realize how much you did not know about such a day.
