Dresses not fitting, zips breaking, photographers getting lost, celebrants double booking, flat tyres, last minute venue cancellations…
We have seen it all!
So if something unforeseen happens on your big day, who do you trust to be able to deal with the situation in a practical and calm way, and be able to come up with a solution to save the day? Even the most level headed family member or friend is bound to feel extremely stressed and will be personally affected if something does go wrong and they don’t know how to fix it. This is where a wedding coordinator is worth his or her weight in gold! Best case scenario, they will be there to play your music, give your guests instructions, liaise with your service providers and generally just be there for you to make sure everything runs smoothly. But when things hit the fan, your wedding coordinator will try and resolve things discreetly behind the scenes, whilst you and your guests enjoy your special day.
