Wedding coordinator: questions you were embarrassed to ask


When a couple begins to prepare for a wedding, a huge number of terms and names mislead the bride and groom. Many people are unclear about the difference between a wedding coordinator and a wedding planner. To whom and with what question should I run? Who performs what duties? Who is needed and who is not? Or maybe this is the same person? We asked one of the best wedding agencies, Kate&Leo, to help us figure it out and understand in which cases we should contact the coordinator and in which cases we should contact the organizer.

Wedding planner

This is a man-orchestra, the one who remembers your wishes, tastes and intentions. Essentially, this is a guide to the world of weddings through your eyes, but with vast experience behind you and a lot of trusted contacts. The name itself contains the main task - to organize, gradually create a wedding, taking into account all your requirements and selecting a dream team. The organizer will be in touch from the first meeting until the last minute of the celebration (unlike the wedding coordinator).

Responsibilities of the wedding planner:

  • develops a wedding concept
  • calculates the budget, maintains estimates, draws up checklists
  • helps to choose harmonious images of the bride and groom
  • selects the ideal wedding venue that meets the requirements and needs of the couple
  • develops a menu, alcohol list, creates a cake sketch
  • selects candidates for the team taking into account the concept (host, stylist, photographer, videographer, director, registrar, choreographer, animator, etc.)
  • offers a suitable team of decorators for wedding decoration
  • helps in the development of printing
  • controls contractors and deadlines for completing assigned tasks
  • develops an entertainment program for guests
  • takes care of transfers and accommodation for guests and newlyweds
  • develops wedding day timing
  • monitors the document flow and concludes all contracts for himself
  • puts everything together on the day of the celebration and monitors quality implementation.

wedding coordinator or organizer 2

Wedding coordinator

He does not prepare the ceremony from the very beginning, but joins in a week before it. The wedding coordinator is the link between the couple and the team; he resolves all minor issues on the day of the holiday, protecting the bride and groom from unnecessary turmoil and unnecessary matters.

Responsibilities of the wedding coordinator:

  • meet the bride a week before the celebration and receive detailed information about the wedding organized by the couple themselves
  • follow the timings on the day of the event
  • manage the process, control contractors and stick to the plan
  • always be in touch with the bride
  • monitor the installation/dismantling of the site
  • count the command
  • take care of the comfort of guests
  • be prepared for any unforeseen situations.

Usually there are two coordinators working at the celebration: one monitors what is happening on the site, and the second is next to the bride and groom from the very morning. It is important to understand that a wedding coordinator hired for the day does not know absolutely all the details of the event. But the main disadvantage is that the team will already be recruited, and even if a professional notices shortcomings in someone’s work, a replacement will be impossible. Also, without a wedding planning service, the coordinator does not bear any responsibility for the quality of work performed by the team you have selected - he only monitors the timing and acts as a link between all participants in the celebration.
