As a DJ, I have attended hundreds of weddings. Some of those weddings involved a coordinator and many of them did not. The ones with coordinators 90% of the time were well under control, the bride & groom were cool and collected, and the families were able to enjoy the evening. On the other hand the weddings where the couple did not hire a coordinator, 50% of them were stressed to the max, on the day of their weddings things were left at home, vendors did not provide the services that were agreed upon, and family members and wedding party members were more helpers then guests at these events.
This is where investing in a Day of Coordinator can really be one of the most important decisions that you can make for your wedding. Before the wedding date has come, to have a professional sit down and hear exactly what you have envisioned and learn about the things that need to be done before and during your ceremony and reception, and remind you of other details that might have been forgotten. All of these things will start to put your mind to ease. No only are they there for you on the day of your wedding, they are there to go over contracts with other vendors and make contact to see that everything is in order and on time.
On the day of your wedding, really the only things that you should be doing is getting ready, getting married and celebrating with your friends and family. Leave the small tasks and details to your coordinator to see that the finishing touches are already finished when you arrive. During the reception, enjoy it and stop worrying if the favours are on the table or if the MC will remember all of the speeches, and if Aunt Betty was served the proper nut free dinner.
This is why I have become certified as a wedding consultant and coordinator through The Wedding Planners Institute of Canada and opened our sister company Marvelle Events. After being a part of so many weddings in so many different aspects from DJ to MC to Guest to Coordinator, I know what it takes to make a reception run smoothly, and how to let the Bride and Groom truly enjoy there wedding day.
