Why You Should Hire A Destination Wedding Coordinator

By Stephen Hall


Weddings take only a single day. In fact, a few hours. However, the couple can tell you that it has taken them months to prepare. Unfortunately, most people never enjoy their day, and even the largest percentage never have the kind of day they dreamed about. Why? Because there is so much to be done before and during the day than you can imagine. This is why you need a destination wedding coordinator.

Make your budget realistic. Weddings are expensive events and are likely to leave you in financial ruins. You desire certain arrangements, decorations, venues, sound systems, etc but have no idea how much they cost. To avoid disappointment, plan your day based on your budget. Talk to the planner to provide alternatives on options that fit within your budget and still make your day elegant. They use their exposure and experience to make your dream come true.

Handle the minor details on the day. These minor details like the song to play, the pink to decorate your venue, where your parents will sit, who shares a table with your boss, etc. When these minor details do not form part of your worries, you will enjoy. If ignored, everything ends up in disarray.

Provide unthinkable alternatives. Sometimes you fall short of your budget or would like a certain design or tent but it is too expensive. Coordinators have been in the industry for long. They understand your dream and will provide a viable alternative that will still deliver the day of your dream. If a particular venue is occupied, they will offer an alternative that is equally good and convenient. When the budget shoots up, they slice it without lowering the quality you get.

Signing deals with service providers. Your idea of a tent could appear too expensive that you settle for a lesser one. The proposals given could also be inflated or have hidden charges like transportation, limited time, distance covered, etc. Rely on the keen eye of the coordinator and knowledge of the industry to get the best deal. You will surely get value for money and save on your budget.

Creating a schedule that coordinates all service providers. A lot of people will be involved on the day. Some will be transporting people and materials. Others pitch tents while decorators have to wait for chairs and tents. If this is not coordinated and an agreement drawn, there will be a crush in some areas. Use the experience of coordinators who understand what comes first and what follows.

Who is attending your wedding and how do the guests get to the venue? You have an idea of who should grace your big day. Unconsciously, you invite some and forget others. Their sitting arrangement needs to be meticulously planned. Transport is another concern as well. Coordinators send reminders and take care of all logistics. The pictures of your day will be testament that your guests honored your invitation.

To have a nice time at your wedding, you must be relaxed. Taking up all responsibilities will make your day tiring. Allow the experienced hand of a coordinator to polish your idea and deliver a wedding of your dreams. After honeymoon as you watch the video, you will realize that the day turned out exactly as you envisioned.
