 As most brides and grooms, who have most-likely never planned a wedding before, it is easy to become confused with the various and differing services provided by a professional wedding coordinator and that of a venue coordinator. They might sound the similar, but are they?

The decision to forego hiring a professional wedding coordinator, with the thought that the venue coordinator will provide the same services, can be a regretful decision. Here is where the education begins.....

There is a great difference between a venue coordinator and a certified wedding planner.
   
 
Here are the main differences, so that you can be sure you are getting the services you want and need.
 
A venue coordinator’s primary role is protecting the venue that they work for and delivering the contracted services that have been ordered. 

Examples of a venue coordinators responsibilities:

– Regulating sound levels to stay in compliance with the home owners associations
– Making sure underage guests are not served alcohol
– Regulating fireworks or candles to make sure they are used within fire code
– Communicating the details of their properties to the wedding professionals that serve there
    
  A wedding planner’s primary role is protecting the wedding couple and serving as their advocate.

 Examples of a wedding planners responsibilities:

--Help choose reliable wedding professionals
– Negotiate contracts that serve in the best interest of the wedding couple

– Keeping the wedding couple within their budget
– Turn their wedding vision into a reality by acting as a liaison between wedding professionals

Trust your wedding day to a professional, experienced and reliable wedding coordinator, for a fun planning process and a stress-free wedding day!
