Wedding Coordination
This package is for the couple who has booked all their vendors, made all the decisions, and sent out the invitations, but would like a professional to step in at that final month and oversee all the details. I will walk you through a full review of your wedding and act as the primary point of contact with all your vendors. I review all your contracts, work with you to create a comprehensive timeline, and confirm the final details with your vendors in the week prior to your wedding. I will be there for your rehearsal – and I do not leave your event until you and your guests do. Services begin one month before your wedding.
