Wedding Coordinator vs Wedding Planner

Day-of Coordinator

A "Day-of" coordinator is a go to person for your wedding day. They are ideal for couples who want to do the planning themselves but want to relax on the actual big day.

  • The Hand-off: You give them all your vendor contracts and contact info about 30 days out or whenever you book them.

  • The Timeline: They create the minute-by-minute itinerary for the wedding day and distribute it to all vendors.

  • Crisis Management: They are the "point person." If the cake arrives late or a button pops on a bridesmaid's dress, they handle it so you never even hear about it.

Wedding Planner

A planner is a long-term partner who handles the heavy lifting of the entire process. They are ideal for couples who have busy schedules or are planning a complex event (like a destination wedding).

  • Vendor Relations: They recommend vendors that fit your style and budget, attend meetings with you, and handle contract negotiations.

  • Design & Styling: They help select color palettes, floor plans, and decor details to ensure a cohesive look.

  • Logistics: They manage the "boring" but vital stuff: room blocks, transportation schedules, and RSVP tracking.

  • I am located in Calhoun County, AL but I service majority of the surrounding counties as well!

  • I am prideful of the fact that I am on the lower end of the Day Of Coordinator average cost. I want more couples to be able to enjoy their wedding day without having to worry about the little things. I also understand that even though my pricing is budget friendly that it is still a extra cost to most people, that’s why I do work with couples and only require a minimal deposit with the remaining being due two days before the wedding.
