About

Working out of Arlington, VA, the Coordinated Collective provides day-of coordination for couples who have otherwise organized their own wedding. Aiding couples in the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, the women and one gentleman of this company have a wealth of knowledge and experience organizing weddings in all sorts of venues and design. Owned by Ja’el Mendez, this team of experts brings the final touch needed to make sure you get hitched without a glitch!

The team at the Coordinated Collective bring in depth project management, product development, public relations, and hospitality skills to their services, providing high levels of professionalism. Combined with a passion for music, culture, and food, they see to it that a couple’s wedding vision materializes. Alleviating stress for the couple through their coordination, these planners allow the romantic pair to focus on their special day.

The initial planning is done by the clients, meaning that couples choose their own vendors and have the freedom to design their own wedding. It’s weaving these threads together that the wedding planners at the Coordinated Collective do, bringing the vision of the couple into fruition. The common element shared by each couple is a wedding that exudes sophistication and originality, all smoothly celebrated.

Eight weeks before the wedding, Ja’el’s team takes over the reins to ensure that every detail has been accounted for. Timelines and reviews are all put in place and vendors are arranged and contacted, keeping everyone in communication. On the day of the wedding, they then implement the plan for a flawless and stress-free celebration, including deliveries, installation, and breakdown.

So grateful for this team

We worked with Liz and Blair from the Coordinated Collective for our May 2024 wedding. We had recently had a child so trying to execute all the details for our wedding day was proving very challenging. Liz and Blair stepped in and easily executed our wedding which included two locations (ceremony on the National Mall and a reception elsewhere). They divided and conquered and we were in great hands all day. They helped with last minute vendor challenges as well as some adjustments that needed to be made in week before the big day. We greatly appreciated their positive attitudes, attention to detail, and willingness to go with the flow with some of the crazy that comes with planning a wedding with a newborn. Highly recommend!

The BEST thing we booked

In short, Katie Rotramel of the Coordinated Collective was the reason our wedding was the best day of our lives. There was no stone left unturned, no problem she couldn't solve with grace and professionalism. She helped ease so many stressors, kept track of all of our vendors, made us a brilliant timeline and corralled everyone throughout the evening. Truly, Coordinated Collective was THE best thing we booked during our wedding and I am recommending them to everyone I know!

Professional, detail-oriented, and a lifesaver on wedding day!

Ja'el was instrumental in ensuring our wedding came together and we couldn't have done it without her! We ended up having a rainy wedding day and coordinating/mediating the changing plans on the day-of to execute the rain plan wouldn't have been possible without Ja'el's support. She advocated for us, led the other vendors in adapting to the weather, and kept everything on time. From our initial planning calls and providing vendor recommendations to ensuring the wedding day was seamless, TCC was easy to work with and more than worth the investment! Highly recommend!
