Guest Post: Why Use A Wedding Coordinator?

By Kimberly

Once you have got over the initial excitement of becoming engaged, there comes the time when you need to start planning your event.This is a very exciting time and you may be looking forward to organizing the whole day yourself but once you begin you may find it more difficult, time consuming and stressful than you thought.Not long ago, a wedding coordinator was thought of as a luxury, only used by the wealthy. Now a coordinator is essential to the well planned affair.

Saving Time

A wedding requires many hours of detailed planning. The average wedding can take over 250 hours to plan that’s equal to six (6) weeks fulltime work. That’s quite a daunting task particularly if lie most couples you have very busy lives. This leaves you a few hours in the evening and to plan at weekends and organize probably the biggest event of your life. A wedding coordinator works alongside you taking care of all the laborious task so you can enjoy your wedding without having to worry about the contract for the musician or how many servers you will need for the reception. He/She does the research and has the knowledge and expertise to locate a site or wedding professional to match your needs, personality and most importantly budget.

Reduces Stress

Hiring a wedding coordinator means you can enjoy all the fun of the decision making without having to worry about how to make it all work. You can have a great time during your engagement period and on your wedding day knowing you have someone making sure everything goes smoothly.The careful planning and expert referrals by a coordinator will virtually eliminate the risk of mishaps on a wedding day. Most importantly in the unlikely event that something should go wrong, from a fallen hem to a service provider issue (or any other emergency). Your wedding planner will ensure that all aspects of your wedding day are handled, so that you and your family enjoy the celebration with peace of mind.

Save Money

A coordinator will help you stay within your budget and find the best values for your money. Some services providers offer commission to bridal coordinators which in our case as Phenomenal Events will pass on to you in the form of discounts. A good wedding coordinator has researched several service providers in each category and your wedding coordinator’s recommended list should provide you with style and value.
