Why Should I Hire A Destination Wedding Coordinator?

By Stephen Hall


Weddings take only a single day. In fact, a few hours. However, the couple can tell you that it has taken them months to prepare. Unfortunately, most people never enjoy their day, and even the largest percentage never have the kind of day they dreamed about. Why? Because there is so much to be done before and during the day than you can imagine. This is why you need a destination wedding coordinator.

Make your budget realistic. Weddings are expensive events and are likely to leave you in financial ruins. You desire certain arrangements, decorations, venues, sound systems, etc but have no idea how much they cost. To avoid disappointment, plan your day based on your budget. Talk to the planner to provide alternatives on options that fit within your budget and still make your day elegant. They use their exposure and experience to make your dream come true.

There are minor details that are likely to be ignored. The knife to cut the cake, make-up to retouch the bride, a reserved place for your CEO, parents, etc. You need to enjoy the day other than worry about such minor details. When ignored, they take color away from your day.

Give better, affordable and fantastic alternatives. Your plan is usually based on personal experience after a few weddings. A lot goes into planning that is unknown to bystanders. There are decorations, music systems, venue arrangements, etc that are better and more convenient than what you have in mind. Talk to coordinators to get the best deal without altering you original idea.

Cutting the deal with service providers. You probably think that a Roman Pillars are very expensive. Or certain designs on tents, etc. Coordinators on the other hand have been in the industry and know the actual prices or packages offered. Trust them to get you value for money. You do not need to splash cash on services only to realize later that you paid margins above what is available in the market.

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.

Who is attending your wedding and how do the guests get to the venue? You have an idea of who should grace your big day. Unconsciously, you invite some and forget others. Their sitting arrangement needs to be meticulously planned. Transport is another concern as well. Coordinators send reminders and take care of all logistics. The pictures of your day will be testament that your guests honored your invitation.

To have a nice time at your wedding, you must be relaxed. Taking up all responsibilities will make your day tiring. Allow the experienced hand of a coordinator to polish your idea and deliver a wedding of your dreams. After honeymoon as you watch the video, you will realize that the day turned out exactly as you envisioned.
