Why Hire a Day-Of Coordinator?
KMH Forte
Your wedding day should be spent being happy, relaxed, and focused on celebrating your love and enjoying the festivities, without worrying about all the nitty-gritty details. So, who is then responsible for making sure the wedding day or weekend is executed perfectly. Who oversees vendors, manages the timeline, and solves any last-minute challenges that arise during the festivities? That’s where your coordinator comes in.
Brides are always wondering if hiring a DOC (Day-Of Coordinator) is worth it. Obviously our answer is yes, yes, a thousand times yes! There are so many details, some planned and some not, to focus on the wedding day. Here are a few things that you can expect from your coordinator:

Creating and Executing Timeline
This is key on the big day. Your DOC will work with you in advance to iron out all of the details and create a timeline that allows for a smooth day. They will also be responsible for keeping everyone on schedule, so you don’t have to.
Vendor Communication
If a vendor has any questions, if they’re running late, if they get lost on the way to the venue, your DOC will be the first point of contact. You wouldn’t want to have to spend time on the phone with your DJ while you’re supposed to be getting your makeup finished!

Putting Out Fires
Things come up! It’s a part of life. Let your coordinator handle all of the little problems that might arise. Not only do coordinators have experience with most of these problems, but they come with a fully stocked emergency kit. Seriously, this bag has everything. Name a problem and they’ll have something in their kit to fix it!
Supervising Set-up
Depending on your venue, you might have staff, family, or friends setting up your ceremony and reception. Your coordinator will supervise these setups and make sure that things are looking exactly how you want them to. There won’t be any decor surprises when you make your grand entrance!
