Need an extra hand with your event? Let our experienced staff of event planners, wedding planners, and day-of coordinators help you out.
A “Day-of” coordinator is for any event or brides and grooms who want to do most of the planning themselves, but when their day arrives they need a professional to execute all of their hard work.
Meet our Wedding planner and day-of coordinator Carolina! She will help you prepare and manage the most important day of your life as well as take care of all the details listed below:
- Management of all vendors (ensuring all vendors arrive and setup on time to both Wedding Ceremony and Main Reception)
- Timeline management (ensuring all events run according to the timeline, moving guests from one room to the other throughout the night)
- Point of contact for all vendors and guests (all vendors and all guests will have a cell phone number to call for any reason)
- Performance evaluation of all vendors (going through each vendor’s contract to ensure they deliver what was promised)
- Coordination with the caterer (ensuring food is served at the proper time & doesn’t get cold. Ensuring the Bride & Groom eat and all guests receive meals. Ensuring the first course, champagne toast, main course, cake, and dessert are served
- Personal Assistant for the Bride & Groom (Attire services, emergency kits, coordination to and from the Ceremony and Main Reception)
- Meet with bride and groom to present timeline. Go over any arrangements the couple have previously made with vendors, and update timeline accordingly.
