I'm considering hiring a day-of Wedding coordinator. What questions should I ask?

Are you available on my wedding date?

How many weddings have you been a coordinator for? References? Reviews?

Have you planned any other weddings at our site?

What comes with your day of coordination services?

Do you handle professional services, contracts and payment processing?

How many meetings will we have? How often will we communicate, by phone and by email? What's the best way to get in touch with you?

What happens if you're sick or otherwise unable to be there on the day of our wedding?

Do you have references? [Ask for professional testimonials as well as those from recent couples.

Did you have one? @mimitrue Would you recommend it? I'm having 80 guests.

Yes I had one. I had 300 people. I planned everything and then handed everything off to her to handle. She handled everything beautifully. I didn't have to worry about a thing! If there were problems, I didn't know about any of them. She helped the day and people flow wonderfully. She helped set up, she helped tear down, she handled all the vendors arrivals, departures and tips, kept us to our timeline, made sure my dress train was always pretty and that i had my bouquet when i needed, there are a ton of little things you don't realize go into a day until you watch someone else do them for you. I am so glad I got one. We had a huge bridal party too so it was nice to have someone tell us when to walk, how to hold our bouquets for photos, etc. I would have been lost without her.

Thanks!!!

I definitely recommend doing a day of coordinator! @mimitrue handled the questions like a pro! Good luck

What do coordinators do if a vendor is running late?
