Final Weeks Wedding Coordination
Investment: from £1,500
This service is for couples who have booked their venue and all of their key suppliers but who want assistance bringing it all together at the end. I will meet with you 10-12 weeks before your wedding and together we’ll put together a detailed plan for the day, identifying what remains to be done and which of the outstanding tasks I can handle for you.
I will get in touch with all of your chosen suppliers to ensure that everyone is on the same page, will be their main point of contact in the final run up to the wedding, and will oversee all the final preparations for the wedding; allowing you some much-needed time to relax. On the day itself, I’ll co-ordinate everything, field any supplier enquiries and assist with set up and styling. You can enjoy every minute of your wedding and the hard work you’ve put into it, knowing that everything is under control.
On the Day Wedding Coordination
Investment: from £750
You’ve organised every element and you know exactly how you want your wedding to go, but you don’t want to be worrying about the logistics on the day itself when you could be having fun with friends and family. If this sounds like you, then my On The Day service can help. I will meet with you at least 6 weeks prior to your wedding to go through your list of suppliers and your itinerary for the day.
I’ll contact all your suppliers and brief them on the schedule and timings for the day, and will make sure that everyone has all the information they require.
On the day itself, I’ll arrive early at your venue to assist with setup and manage all the suppliers. I’ll be the main point of contact so that you don’t need to think about anything other than enjoying yourself. I’ll keep everyone on time, in line with our pre-arranged schedule, and will ensure the smooth running of your day.
