Wedding Planners come in many shapes and sizes! And titles. A planner and coordinator are similar – engaged couples hire them and then the planner works with the couple directly, providing guidance and references, helping with the timeline and all the logistics, as an advocate and liaison for the couple. A venue coordinator works for the venue, not for the couple, necessarily. A designer primarily works on the way a wedding looks and feels, not the details and logistics of the day. Most planners typically offer 3 basic services: Month Of Planning, Partial Planning, Full Planning. Compare prices, but also compare exactly what each planner offers within these categories. Be weary and get educated about ‘Day Of Wedding Coordination’ – Don’t hire someone that says they will just work 8 hours on the wedding day and it will all be fine...it won’t be. We think that Month of Coordination is an incredible value and we highly recommend hiring a planner for this service.
