Why Should I Hire A Destination Wedding Coordinator?

By Stephen Hall


Weddings appear simple and easy to plan because you have no idea what the couple went through for months. It is the most challenging event to plan considering that you have to do it on your own. You have no experience and only rely on your imagination. In fact, only a negligible number of people have a wedding of their dream. To have an unforgettable day, it is advisable to have a destination wedding coordinator. What will this coordinator do?

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.

Handle the minor details on the day. These minor details like the song to play, the pink to decorate your venue, where your parents will sit, who shares a table with your boss, etc. When these minor details do not form part of your worries, you will enjoy. If ignored, everything ends up in disarray.

Give new ideas. You envision a day based on the few weddings you have attended. However, there are numerous grounds, arrangement designs, music systems, decorations, etc you have never seen. Some of the ideas couples choose are only imaginary. Coordinators are exposed to a lot of venues and logistical issues than you imagine. They will polish the day using your idea as a framework.

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.

Creating a schedule that coordinates all service providers. A lot of people will be involved on the day. Some will be transporting people and materials. Others pitch tents while decorators have to wait for chairs and tents. If this is not coordinated and an agreement drawn, there will be a crush in some areas. Use the experience of coordinators who understand what comes first and what follows.

Handling all invitations. Some couples receive calls from close friends and relatives furiously inquiring why they were never invited. Though you prepare a list, you are likely to miss some important people or lack the time to remind them. Coordinators ensure that everyone on your list is invited. They also organize their sitting arrangement, logistics of travel, etc. When you look at the pictures, everyone you wanted to grace your occasion will be there.

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.
