Why You’ll Love a Day of Coordinator for Your Wedding

How do you want to feel on your wedding day? Do you want to sweat the details, overseeing setup and breakdown for your reception? My guess is that you want to focus on the heartstopping moments, like your first look and vow exchange. You know, the moments that are about your relationship! A day of coordinator can make all the difference for couples who want to stay present on their wedding day. In this blog post, I share how a day of coordinator can help you along with recommendations for some of my favorites in the Buffalo area.

How Your Day of Coordinator can Give You a Breezier Wedding Experience

Your day of coordinator is one of the most important vendors you’ll hire because they’ll make sure you actually get to feel present on your wedding day. They oversee the details while you soak up all the love from your community. Day of coordinators are logistics people. They get it done.

You may be wondering how this is different from working with a wedding planner. Wedding planners come in at the very start of the wedding planning process. They help you figure out your vision for your celebration, translate that into a cohesive event design, and identify vendors who can bring the vision to life. 

Day of coordinators come in later in the process. You essentially hand off the big wedding day tasks so you don’t have to stress them on top of those wedding butterflies. Many planners work with coordinators to execute their ideas on the big day.

As a Buffalo wedding photographer, I’ve worked with a number of day of coordinators in and around the city. Here are four who have made my clients’ wedding experiences so much more enjoyable.
