Who’s Really Running Your Wedding?

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear from engaged couples is, “Our venue has a coordinator, so we don’t need a wedding planner. “

I completely understand why people think that — I did too. Then… I got married. The truth is, a venue coordinator vs. a wedding planner are two different roles, and understanding the difference can make a huge impact on your wedding day.

VENUE COORDINATOR

  • Represent venue

  • Property is ready

  • Staff is prepared

  • Venue timeline

They’re an incredibly valuable part of your vendor team — but their focus is the venue itself.

WEDDING PLANNER

  • Works for YOU

  • Organizes all aspects of day-of details

  • Problem solver

  • Your support system

  • Coordination with ALL vendors

  • Complete timeline

  • Help with design/layout

  • Provide vendor referrals

  • Manage guest experience

You, your family, and your friends should not be handling these items. Are they planning on getting hair and makeup done? Renting a tux? Leave it to a professional who is also team bride and groom so everyone is present on your wedding day.

Why not invest in someone you trust with your wedding?

XO,

Mrs. Wendt
