About

With the advent of the internet, social networking, and such sites as Pinterest, it's no wonder that most girls have already planned their dream wedding down to the color of the tablecloths and the font for the invitations! And day-of wedding planning isn't limited to telling you when to walk down the aisle. You have the vision and did most of the preliminary work for the wedding, but now who is going to come in and let you be the BRIDE?

Day of coordinating is just that -- I specialize in making sure the plans you have made for the day run smoothly, however, I can do much, much more, it all just depends on what you need.

A sampling of what I can do for you on your wedding day:

Create the timeline starting from the rehearsal to the send-off at the reception
Contact vendors, sharing the timeline and checking on arrival times
Orchestrate the rehearsal
Coordinate with photographer to make sure all the pictures you want taken get taken
Keep bridal party on schedule
Help groomsmen with their tuxes, tie ties, pin on boutineers, keep them on schedule
Help bridesmaids with shoes, run to CVS for right color lipstick
Bring sandwich tray to salon during hair/make-up session
Check to make sure the vendors have arrived and have everything they need
Make sure we don't start ceremony until all family arrives
Make sure DJ or band knows how to pronounce your newlywedded last name
Keep the reception timeline flowing
WHATEVER YOU NEED and WHATEVER IT TAKES so you and everyone with you has FUN!

Amazing Day-Of-Coordinator

Island Weddings DOC is FABULOUS! If you are questioning whether to hire Heather and Kirby, RUN don't walk. They are both so helpful, kind and efficient. Kirby made our wedding day run so smoothly and I was so relieved to not have to worry about the small details - she had everything down. We would have been so lost without her help. I would highly recommend if you're in the SSI area.

AMAZING Coordination -

I would've been truly lost without Island Weddings! My wedding was changed so many times due to COVID and Heather and Kirby kept up with each new idea like champions. They were incredibly professional and as soon as they arrived on site, knew exactly who needed to do what and what needed to go where! Heather also works with many of the SSI local vendors often and being an out of town bride, this made my life so much easier. I highly recommend working with Heather and her team for any event you need coordinated. They put all my worries at ease and I enjoyed our special day so much!!

Made our wedding day so much better!

We are so happy we hired Heather and her team for our wedding day! I can't imagine how we would've managed it without her. She knows her stuff and is a pro! We did all the planning ourselves, and originally we're going to get friends and family to help with set up. We decided to hire Heather for the day instead, and she just made everything so much easier and allowed us all to just enjoy the party! So grateful for her guidance and positive energy throughout the process.
