ON-THE-DAY COORDINATION... do i need it?

Adam and I got married in front of 130 friends and family on a private property. It was a pretty simple affair, but it was still a lot of hard work. Yes the planning got tedious, and yes, we felt a bit bad asking our friends and family to pitch in, but looking back, it was the time leading up to our wedding day that was just as bonding for us as the day itself. Pulling off your wedding day (and being able to laugh off the stressful moments) is a BIG achievement, and we encourage everyone to take creative control wherever they can.

But... (and most importantly) there's the wedding day itself. This is is when you want to be able to switch off as 'event planners' and focus your energy on each other, your family and your friends. Handing over the coordination of all the little bits and pieces is quite possibly the best investment you will make. It will allow you to sit back, relax, and take in all the little moments that ultimately bind together to form a memory of what truly is one of the best days of your life.

To keep things simple, we offer two coordination packages, with details and pricing given below.


ON-THE-DAY

Our On-The-Day package is for the couple that has done most of the booking and planning themselves, but wants the peace of mind on their wedding day that someone else will be looking after all their important plans. You may also have a venue that requires you to have a coordinator for the day.
