Coordination

Wedding Day Coordination is perfect for couples that are feeling like they're missing something while planning their wedding day. Whether it's who will set up your reception space while you're getting your hair and makeup done, or who will make sure your limo is stationed perfectly outside your ceremony for your Grand Exit, I will have it covered!

They're also perfect for couples who know they want to make their wedding day a day that no one will forget. Every detail will be discussed - your timeline, vendors, paper suite, decor decisions, and more. All while making sure you enjoy the process!

Wedding Timeline Consultations are for the couple who will have plenty of extra help on their wedding day, but still want to make sure they have a solid plan in place for all of the moving pieces of their wedding day. If you don’t need full Wedding Day Coordination, but would like a little help making sure you have everything planned and accounted for, this is for you!
