What is the difference?
A wedding planner is a seasoned professional who can confidently guide you through the entire wedding planning process. From engagement to the wedding day itself, they are your experienced guides in the world of all things wedding! Although there are levels of service you can commission with a wedding planner, most will assist you (at least to some degree) with venue selection, vendor referrals, production of a detailed checklist of things to do, production of a detailed day-of timeline and communication with all vendors leading up to the big day. They help you plot the course down the aisle and are there to answer questions all along the way. Often a wedding planner will also have a hand in event design. They will proffer ideas and inspiration for the “look and feel” of your event and help you secure vendors who will contribute to that cohesive vision.
A wedding coordinator, is not necessarily deeply involved with the wedding plans from beginning to end. Some brides are very organized and have the overall plan well in hand. A wedding coordinator is often hired to facilitate a smooth-running event on the wedding day itself. They often jump into the picture a month or so before the wedding to gather key information and create a timeline. They may help you iron out final details and contact your vendors to confirm contract obligations. On the day-of, they run the show and ensure that things go according to plan. There are many small details that a couple may not be familiar with and it is so nice to have a wedding day without stress of everyone asking questions while you are just trying to have a great day.
Many times people will use the terms coordinator & planner interchangeably. It is somewhat understandable, as a wedding planner is always a wedding coordinator. BUT, a wedding coordinator is not always a wedding planner. The costs involved will change depending on what is is that you will need to help you.
A planner or coordinator can actually be a real asset and have become more popular to the busy couple who do not want to stress out over details. A fabulous wedding planner is brimming with insider information about the biz. They will save you time and money with their assistance and referrals. They will also serve as your inspiration muse, offering great second opinions, suggestions, and new ideas to help personalize your event. They are there to give you peace of mind and freedom to actually ENJOY your wedding day.
