Why hire a wedding day of coordinator?
I find myself answering this question often and realized I never mentioned on my weddingdayof.com blog why I started this company to begin with. So here goes!
First off, what is weddingdayof.com?
Weddingdayof.com is my brainchild. It was my passion project turned business and life passion. At its core, weddingdayof.com is a logistics company. Sounds boring huh? It is so exciting to me! I LOVE weddings and events. The logistics part of the company is simply what allows us to take the stress off your hands. My team and I coordinate the song and dance of the wedding day vendors, guests, f&b, entertainment, couple, and family. We make the schedule and stick to it. We are expert firefighters! No fire is too big to put out. No matter how well you plan an event, challenges will arise. My team and I manage these for you. You? Just get married.
How did wedding day of come to be?
In 2015 had been working in hotel catering and events for over 8 years, in my career I often worked through wedding planners to book and coordinate weddings. However, I noticed in the past 4-5 years, more and more couples were planning their own weddings. I thought, "that is cool! It's your wedding, with all of these great online tools, you can totally plan it yourself!" However, I noticed very stressed couples on the day of their wedding because they were on the phone with vendors, or trying to decorate, or dealing with many of the "fires" that pop up during the day. I thought this was interesting and tried to fix this by attempting to partner with wedding planners to help couples with the logistics of their wedding day. Much to my surprise... they refused. Many planners simply did not want to work on day of coordination. They were only interested in full and partial planning. Their biggest concern was the tight turnaround required as well as potential oversight by couples planning their own event.
Enter Weddingdayof.com!
Well not so quickly, but essentially the idea started forming. I started by volunteering to assist with day of coordination in order to get experience and perfect my plan of approach. Over the next 6 months, I worked with weddings completely free of charge until I had a system down! I then offered it as an added feature to my hotel counterparts and they loved the idea. Eventually, I took it mainstream and weddingdayof.com was born! It was strictly by word of mouth until 2017, when the company moved to South Florida, and I decided to make myself available to the masses.
South Florida Wedding Planning?
Of course, my team and I are available for full wedding planning! It is my pleasure to provide a full-service solution to couples looking to plan their own event. The philosophy is simple, I am here to offer as much or as little assistance as you need!
Happy Planning!
