FAQ 2017-03-10T01:50:05+00:00
Why would I need a day of coordinator if the venue comes with an on-site coordinator? 2015-07-23T20:32:06+00:00

The on-site coordinator has the venue in their best interest and not the bride. They won’t run to your rescue when you suffer a wardrobe malfunction, Uncle Bob has had too much to drink, and the DJ wants to leave earlier than contracted for. The day of coordinator is at your beckon call. She/he will pull out their emergency kit to fix your dress, sit Uncle Bob down, and make sure the music plays on.

Our Signature Events team will get to your destination in advance to organize and coordinate with the vendors. So, relax, decompress and we’ll take care of the rest! We will make sure that your wedding day is exactly how you envisioned it.

What travel expenses am I responsible for? 2015-07-23T20:33:01+00:00

What’s the difference between a Wedding Planner and Day of Coordinator? 2015-07-23T20:33:29+00:00

What’s the difference between a Wedding Planner and Day of Coordinator?

A Wedding Planner will ensure that all of the appropriate vendors are contracted to provide the product and services that meet your requirements and expectations. The Wedding Planner will help create and manage your budget needs, be the unbiased mediator between the families, and create the wedding that you envisioned.

A Day of Coordinator will take over the management of the vendors and services that you have worked so hard to get on board. The Day of Coordinator will review your vendor contracts to make sure you are getting a good deal and that they have the proper insurance and licenses. Coordinate a 30 day vendor walk through to ensure the vendor team understands your service expectations. Finally, the Day of Coordinator will take care of the bride and groom and your guests so that you can enjoy your special day.
