What is the difference between a wedding coordinator and a wedding planner?
A wedding coordinator and a wedding planner are two distinct roles in the wedding planning process.
A wedding planner is responsible for managing and overseeing all aspects of a couple’s wedding from start to finish. This includes helping the couple choose vendors, creating a budget, designing the wedding aesthetic, managing logistics, and coordinating the entire event. Wedding planners often work with couples throughout the entire planning process, from the initial consultation to the wedding day itself.
On the other hand, a wedding coordinator, also known as a wedding day coordinator or a day-of coordinator, is responsible for executing the couple’s pre-planned wedding vision on the day of the wedding. They work behind the scenes to ensure that all the details are in place, such as coordinating vendor arrivals and departures, managing the wedding timeline, and handling any issues that arise on the day of the event. A wedding coordinator typically comes on board closer to the wedding date, usually a month or two in advance or sometimes the day of.
In summary, while a wedding planner is responsible for managing the entire wedding planning process, a wedding coordinator’s role is focused on executing the couple’s vision on the day of the wedding.
We at Red Velvet Collective are happy to fulfill both roles or work with any venue assigned wedding day of coordinator on the day of your wedding.
What does a wedding planner cost? Why does a wedding planner cost so much? Does it?
