3 Reasons Why You Need a Wedding Coordinator

A fairy godmother may be out of the question, but a wedding coordinator offers you the ability to focus on your wedding instead of getting wrapped up in the details of your big event. Here are three big reasons why you need a wedding coordinator and how they can help relieve some of the stress associated with bringing your vision to life.

1. Wedding Coordinators Know All the Best Vendors

Compared to a wedding coordinator, you and your partner have very limited experience with vendors. A wedding coordinator makes it their job to note whether certain vendors were able to carry out the couple's wishes and how they performed their duties on the big day.

Based on your budget and style, a wedding coordinator can narrow down your choices to just a few that are most likely to work well with you and keep your costs within your preferred range.

For example, you may want a "green" wedding, and an experienced wedding coordinator will not only have ideas about how to help you make it happen — they'll know which vendors have helped to create these events in the past. A wedding coordinator knows who to reach out to about incorporating sustainable ideas.

2. They Can Help You Save Money

You may initially think a wedding coordinator is too expensive. However, they have connections with people in the industry that can get you big discounts. A great wedding coordinator will learn about your budget and work with you to make your dream wedding a reality, while respecting your financial boundaries.

3. Your Wedding Coordinator Is Irreplaceable on Your Big Day

Wedding coordinators understand why it's important to keep everyone (including you and your future spouse) on schedule. Plus, they know how to push people to get their tasks completed without being overbearing.

If you plan to have a traditional (or non-traditional) wedding and want to focus on spending this important time celebrating with your partner, a wedding coordinator can take a lot of the pressure off of you both. Even if you don't want a large multi-day event, wedding coordinators can bring a multitude of small wedding tips to the table.

Wedding coordinators have become popular during the past few years, as couples begin to realize that while they could have a wedding without one, hiring a professional to help keep things organized and handle small emergencies as they arise is a worthy investment.
