7 Reasons Why you Need to Hire a Wedding Coordinator in Chicago
Figuring out whether or not you can get yourself a wedding coordinator is definitely a luxury, but oftentimes it will be the difference between being relaxed or stressed during your wedding day. It can be hard to know if it will work for you, but if it’s ever in your budget it definitely is a game changer for pre-wedding and wedding day enjoyment. Here are some of the things that a wedding coordinator can help you with and that will ensure that you have a wonderful wedding day.
You have a resource to use along the way with planning
When you have a wedding coordinator roped into your planning journey, you can reach out to us with any questions you have, any advice you need, or any help you need! Your wedding coordinator will ensure that you’re doing everything you need to as far as the big pieces go and will help you sort out problems that you might not have seen coming. It’s (hopefully) the first and last time you’ll be planning a wedding, so there are definitely things that come up that you might not have considered!
2. You don’t use as many hours of your day planning your wedding
You just don’t have to stress about nearly as many things if you know there is someone that will think of everything for you. We provide all of our couples with planning resources to ensure that you’ve taken care of everything you might need and that can really limit the amount of time you’re looking for online checklists and things that you need to do for your wedding day!
3. You get professional eyes on making and tweaking your timeline if needed
We make sure to help you with putting together your timeline from start to finish, and we can let you know what’s going to work and what needs to be changed so you have a perfect day! Your timeline is one of the most important parts for us for your wedding day, and without a coordinator you have to create it yourself and also just hope that it will go according to your plans! And on the wedding day, if we needed to make any adjustments to make sure things are running smoothly, it’s nearly impossible for everyone to anticipate your needs the best that isn’t another guest trying to enjoy themselves.
4. You have someone to make sure all of your vendors are on the same page
Vendor coordination is a big part of your wedding planning and your wedding day that you don’t want to have to handle all on your own. Your wedding coordinator will make sure that all of your vendors not only do what is needed, but that they have everything that they need too. We want to make sure your wedding team is going to be best prepared for your wedding so you can have an amazing day!
5. You have someone to "blame” if your family doesn’t like your decisions
You can always say “my coordinator told us that we had to do it that way” to anyone that has a problem with how you are planning your wedding day. It makes it a lot easier to have someone to take the “fall” for you so they can’t argue about how your wedding day should really be! Whatever the reason, we can definitely be your buffer to make sure you have the wedding that you want - not necessarily what everyone else wants and expects of you.
6. You have people to set up your personal items without assigning jobs to your family and friends
The best thing you can have your family and friends do is actually enjoy your wedding day with you! We can take care of setting up your personal items or decorations that you aren’t really sure who will take care of for you. Even if your wonderful family and friends offer their help, we can take that off of yours and their plates so you all can just focus on having a good time at the wedding rather than any logistics.
7. You have someone to put out fires, deal with problems, and answer questions
The last thing you’ll want to deal with on your wedding day is fielding a million questions from your family, friends, vendors, and everyone else involved. Your wedding coordinator is there to help handle things and make sure to make decisions on your behalf so you don’t have to go to a million people and get things sorted. We want to make sure to advocate for your desires and deal with any problems behind the scenes so you can focus celebrating and not get pulled away from the fun!
Wedding coordinators may be seen as a luxury, but to make sure that you are able to enjoy your wedding planning journey and the actual day, we highly recommend you invest in a wedding coordinator. When you’re thinking about how stressful wedding planning can be, you want to ensure that you have everything situated for an amazing wedding day and the best way to do that is with a wedding coordinator. If you’re looking for some help on your wedding day, you can reach out to us here and we would be happy to make sure you can actually have a good time on your wedding day with your family and friends!
