Question 1

My church or venue has a coordinator, why would I hire someone else to do that job?

Accepted Answer

Venue coordinators manage the venue's logistics but lack the extensive scope of dedicated wedding coordinators. They don't handle external vendors, full event timelines, or personalized details, and are less equipped to resolve broader issues. Dedicated wedding coordinators such as Union and Social ensure seamless execution of all wedding day details, providing extensive support and problem-solving. Onsite coordinators appreciate the support without stepping on toes. 
Bonus: $100 discount for venues with mandatory coordinators.

Question 2

I have already done most of the planning, why would I need to hire a coordinator?

Accepted Answer

A day of coordinator is essential for a wedding for several reasons:

1. Stress Reduction: They handle last-minute issues and details, allowing the couple to relax and enjoy their day.
   
2. Vendor Management: Coordinators manage vendors, ensuring everyone is on time and tasks are executed as planned.

3. Timeline Execution: They create and enforce a detailed timeline, keeping the event on schedule.

4. Problem-Solving: Coordinators quickly address and resolve any unexpected problems that arise during the event.

5. Guest Assistance: They assist guests with questions and needs, enhancing the overall guest experience.

6. Smooth Transitions: Coordinators ensure smooth transitions between different parts of the event, such as the ceremony to reception.

Overall, a day of coordinator ensures that the wedding runs smoothly, allowing the couple and their families to fully enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics.

Question 3

Do you offer just "DAY OF" coordination?

Accepted Answer

Day of coordination for events, especially weddings, is often perceived as a one-day service. However, it involves much more than just overseeing the event on the actual day. Here are key reasons why it extends beyond just one day:

1. Pre-Event Preparation: Coordinators spend considerable time before the event reviewing contracts, timelines, and vendor details. They must understand the couple's vision and ensure all elements are in place.

2. Meetings and Walkthroughs: Several meetings with the couple and sometimes with vendors are necessary to finalize details and address any potential issues. Venue walkthroughs are also conducted to visualize the setup.

3. Vendor Coordination: Communication with vendors happens well in advance to confirm arrival times, setup needs, and specific responsibilities.

4. Timeline Creation: A detailed timeline is created and distributed to all involved parties. This includes coordinating when and where vendors should be and what needs to happen at each stage of the event.

5. Rehearsal: Coordinators often run the rehearsal the day before the wedding, ensuring everyone knows their roles and the event runs smoothly.

6. Contingency Planning: They develop backup plans for potential problems, which requires time and detailed consideration.

In essence, the "day of" coordinator works several days, sometimes weeks, in advance to ensure everything is meticulously planned and runs smoothly on the actual event day.
