What Does A Wedding Planner DO?

Before the wedding...

When you hire a wedding planner, they are with you through your entire planning process in a mix of virtual and in-person meetings. Your Lead Planner is here to help you not only visualize, but implement your wedding vision. Our team is extremely familiar with venues and vendors in and around NEPA that will match your style and budget. We’ve got the answers to all wedding related questions, and ultimately keep you calm and excited to plan the most important day of your life. Through our client planning portal, we will work together to check all of the to-do’s off your list, and then meet along the way to discuss your progress.

On the wedding day...

Your Lead Planner will be at your venue to see-in all vendors. Time may vary based on the schedule for the day, but this typically begins at 12pm. They will make sure all vendors are there, and assist in directing them to their appropriate places. All of these details are based on a design plan and layout previously determined by the couple and their Lead Planner.

While you focus on getting ready for your big day, they will be there for any questions from the bridal party, vendors, the venue staff, and guests. From there, your Lead Planner and Event Specialist (Assistant) will keep the day, the couple, and the vendors on track!

What's the difference between a venue coordinator & a wedding planner?

The simple answer is: A venue coordinator works for the venue, and a wedding planner works for the couple. A venue coordinator will be dealing with all the aspects of the venue such as set up, the staff, food, etc. A wedding planner is there to oversee the set up from all vendors, answer any questions, take care of any problems, and to make sure everything is exactly as the couple wants it. The Venue Coordinator and Wedding Planner will work hand in hand to deliver an exceptional event for the couple and their guests.

I have (fill in the blank with one of the terms below),
so I don't need a wedding planner, right?

“ a friend who said she would help at my wedding.”
“a great knack for details, I can do ALL of the things for my wedding by myself.”
“an Aunt that is so organized, she’ll help.”

Friend…please, please, please read this section. YES, YOU NEED A WEDDING PLANNER! So many of our clients come to us because they’ve witnessed a train-wreck of a wedding happen for a friend and don’t want the same for their big day. Believe us, we have heard the stories.

As helpful as your friends and family will be during your planning, they shouldn't have to work on your wedding day. Everyone has a role, and your Friend/Mom/Sister/Aunt etc. will be playing their part as such, not as your Wedding Planner.

It can go both ways: either they will have so much to do that day they won’t even be able to enjoy your wedding day. On the other hand, they may not take the job seriously, and the day might end up being a disaster. In either situation, having someone that is designated to manage the details, let guests know when/where they’re supposed to be, and handle issues that arise is better done by a professional than a loved one. Trust us!

I want it to be my wedding, won't the wedding planner just do what she wants?

Our absolute favorite thing about weddings is that each one is so different and unique. They tell a story of the couple, their love for one another, and the things that they care for most.
Your Lead Planner is going to help you bring all of those things together. Comb through the details and make each little piece stand out where it matters.

It's absolutely your wedding, your vision, your ideas, your Lead Planner is just holding your hand though the entire process, with help and advice. Think of us as your guide, and the one that will deliver the exact details you’ve envisioned—while you get to enjoy watching it all unfold!
