A Wedding Coordinators Role
A wedding coordinator & planner takes on many roles to ensure your wedding day goes to plan, and tells a unique story about you – as a couple. Here are some of the many personas taken on by this wedding planner.
The Casting Agent
The bridal industry is swamped for choice, but what you really need is trustworthy recommendations. Only somebody with a little black book of top-notch operators can sort the best from the rest.
The Scriptwriter
We give your wedding a story and a theme – like Winter Wonderland in the snow, or 40s glamour on a hotel rooftop? Here’s inspiration for a unique and personalised wedding that shows people who you are, and what you mean to each other.
The Stylist
What to wear, where to find it, and how to get it finished on time. A stylist to give you the truth on what’s flattering for your figure, when family and friends are too scared to offend.
The Negotiator
Every bride needs an agent. Somebody to fight your battles, haggle on price and defend your vision. The mission doesn’t end until you drive off into the sunset.
The Diplomat
Emotions run high when two families join together. Sometimes you just need an objective opinion, and a mediator to help find a compromise.
The Weather Girl
Thank God somebody has a wet weather back up plan, plus a rain kit with umbrellas, makeup, towels, and everybody’s phone numbers to give them the latest itinerary change.
The Director
For the main event to run like clockwork, somebody has to be in charge. Here are leaders with adrenalin and tact to get all your wedding suppliers to do their job – so you can relax and be the star.
The Accountant
Money is the lifeline to a dream wedding, but it has to be spent wisely. A wedding planner can organise quotes, help you stick to your budget and offer clever money-saving tips that will leave you with more cash for the honeymoon.
The Educator
If a wedding is a rehearsal for life, make sure the final exam is a happy ending. Trust an expert who can teach you about bridal etiquette, the latest wedding trends, and the philosophy of marriage beyond the big day.
The Best Friend
Your best buddy who lends an ear when you need it most. Your wedding will give you many reasons to vent and sometimes the best fix for a problem is just talking things through.
