Questions
Answers to my most frequently asked and answered questions.
What is a wedding coordinator?
A wedding coordinator is a wedding professional who comes in towards the end of your planning to take over and help coordinate and execute the details of your wedding day- I take the wedding that you’ve planned and make it happen.
I make sure all of your hard work comes to life while you enjoy your wedding day.
​
This service is often referred to by other titles, including day of wedding coordinator, bridal coordinator, month of wedding coordinator, and wedding management.
​
“Day of” coordinator is a bit of a misnomer, as I will start working with you from the day you hire me via monthly check-ins and more intensively twelve weeks before your wedding.
A lot of what I do happens before the wedding, the coordination. This involves a review of everything that you’ve planned, discussed, and chosen. It allows me to find any holes or missing pieces and work with you to fix them. Working with you before your big day is also crucial for me to get all the information I need to truly understand how you would like your day to unfold.

Why is a wedding coordinator beneficial?
A wedding coordinator enables the couple, wedding party, parents and guests to just enjoy the wedding day without having to worry about managing any of the logistics (the vendors, setup, teardown or any issues that arise).
​
If you chose to plan your wedding by yourself (like I did), having a day of wedding coordinator to manage all of the vendors, setup and tear-down, the day of timeline, etc., can be really helpful (someone has to do all of this, and it’s nice for you to not have to think twice about it).
​
A wedding coordinator can also ensure there aren’t any missing pieces at your wedding that might have been overlooked (which is totally understandable, after all, you’re not a wedding coordinator).

What doesn't a wedding
coordinator do?
A wedding coordinator is not a wedding planner. Meaning: A wedding planner is often involved with planning your wedding from the beginning. They plan all aspects of the wedding from vendors to design.
​
On the other hand, a wedding coordinator focuses on the final coordination (dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s of the plans that have already been put in place) nearing the wedding day and the implementation of the plan on the day.​​​​​​
Do you offer other services?
Your wedding isn't the only celebration that matters or that you have to plan during this process. For those who need a break from the planning, I also work as an event planner in Ottawa and offer wedding rehearsal and bridal shower planning.
