The Difference between a Wedding Planner and a Wedding Coordinator

Full-scale wedding planners often specialize in more of large-scale planning before the day such as managing your budget, selecting your venue, and attending vendor meetings. Day-of Wedding Coordination allows you the freedom to take charge of the creative wedding process, while letting us execute your details on the actual day, so you can relax and focus on getting married. You have a vision and want to make the wedding your own, and can handle certain things yourself, but need a professional in the industry to help guide you through the process without the full-service price tag.

The Difference between an onsite Venue Coordinator and Wedding Coordinator.

At Wholehearted Events, a Wedding Coordinator works wholeheartedly for YOU. An onsite Event Coordinator works for the venue. While they may be an expert in their venue and the services they are offering, they are not an expert in your wedding vision or wishes. They’re focused on managing their own staff and making sure the basic venue facilities are available and ready for you to use. They most likely have many clients and events they are juggling simultaneously, especially if they have multiple spaces onsite. They may pay mind to your timeline in regard to when their own staff needs to get in action, but they aren’t in charge of communicating to your other vendors such as a photographer or DJ in regard to times and key moments to prepare for. Not only do we fill those gaps, we finalize the details and design, we coordinate the day’s entire flow and we actually execute your vision. We not only manage vendors and set out personal touches, but we make sure the entire production of your wedding runs according to the perfect plan we create together.
