Don’t overlook this wedding planning detail!

Your Wedding Coordinator

Moment of Truth: W

lanning is hectic.

With months of planning, prepping and strategizing, you want your vision to come to life on the big day. And that’s where wedding coordination comes in — to work magic, so you can enjoy every beautiful moment to the fullest.

Whether you’re in the middle of planning your wedding, or you’re looking ahead to all the things you’ll have to do, there’s one thing most of us can agree on: wedding planning is hectic.

In the months (and years) leading up to the big day, you’ll be tackling long lists of to-dos, planning down to the tiniest of details, and strategizing how each moment will happen. Not to mention organizing all the people, from bridesmaids to groomsmen and families and in-laws, fine-tuning seating charts, and following up with a long list of caterers and vendors. There are a million moving pieces swirling around your wedding day at any given moment, and it all leads to one life-changing day!

…Okay, breathe. I hope I haven’t stressed you out too much. I’m just here to make sure you know about one important detail you may have overlooked.

It’s the importance of having a wedding coordinator on the day. This is the person who will ensure that — all those little details you spent hours pouring over, every plan you set in motion, every dream, wish and vision you had for your big day — all those things come to life, exactly as you imagined it.

If you want your day to run smoothly, and (dare I say) perfectly, a wedding coordinator is absolutely essential. And here’s why.

You’re busy, and your family is busy, too 

On the dreamiest day of your life, you, your partner and loved ones will be preoccupied with the most wonderful things: celebrating your love, partaking in the celebrations, and indulging in the happiness and joy that surrounds you. And I believe nothing should distract them from that!

Having a wedding coordinator ensures you have eyes on every moving piece as the day plays out, without your mom having to sacrifice a big moment or your maid of honour frantically running the behind-the-scenes. With a wedding coordinator on site to carry out everything you’ve planned, your special guests will focus on celebrating you. And everything will go to plan, exactly as your wedding day should be.

A wedding coordinator is not the same as a wedding planner 

While a wedding planner in Regina and the surrounding area may focus on both wedding planning and coordination, the two tasks are entirely different.

A wedding planner is by your side for everything pre-wedding, guiding you through the details and ensuring you’ve checked every box. They give you time back in the months leading up, so you can hit those Sunday brunches and binge watch on the weeknights — with less hours spent scrambling or stressing about the big day.

But a wedding coordinator is where the real magic comes in. Everything that you’ve flawlessly planned, meticulously organized and dreamt about for the big day… they’re the ones who are going to expertly execute every beautiful thing you’ve been waiting for.

If there’s one thing to leave to the pros, it’s your wedding day — because you and your loved ones deserve to cherish every moment without running around like crazy.

Disasters may happen… and you won’t have to deal with them

If there’s one thing your wedding planner and coordinator know, it’s that nothing ever goes one-hundred-percent to plan. There is always going to be something that goes wrong behind the scenes — and when you have a coordinator on site, you might be lucky enough to never know about it!

Your wedding coordinator is the superhero who puts out the fires before they get anywhere near big enough to ruin your day. Whether it’s a late vendor, a fallen cake, or a missing bridesmaid, rest assured that your coordinator is on top of it and ready to right the wrong — so you can focus on your pre-wedding glam, mimosas with your bridesmaids, and your life-changing “I do”. problems? You don’t know them.

It’s the shortcut to show up and party 

I believe your big day should never be a chore! You’re throwing a major party with your family and friends, so get out there and enjoy it!

With wedding coordination on your side, all that’s left to do is indulge in the moments that mean the most to you — from a calm getting-ready morning with your girls, the romantic kiss-the-bride moment, all the way to the post-speech party that you’ll remember forever. Wedding coordination means you, and your loved ones, get to be truly present, the most special gift of all.
