The Wedding SitterUnlike a full-service wedding coordinator, a “Day-of” coordinator is for brides and grooms who want to do most of the planning themselves, but when their wedding day arrives, they need a professional to execute all of their hard work.
Too often, brides rely on family and friends to help carry out plans on the day of their wedding. By asking a friend or family member to take on this stressful task, that person will not be able to enjoy the event as a guest, and will end up feeling like “event staff.” In most cases, your “volunteers” have little experience in the role of event planner. They often end up feeling overwhelmed as they try to keep on top of everything that must be done to ensure that the day runs smoothly. |
The following is an outline of some of the tasks that The Wedding Sitter handles on the day of your wedding:
Two Weeks Prior to Wedding Day Meet with bride and groom to present timeline. Go over any arrangements the couple have previously made with vendors, and update timeline accordingly. One Week Prior to Wedding Day Confirm final details with vendors prior to wedding day. Make sure that all vendors have The Wedding Sitter’s contact information. Send vendors a copy of the final timeline and make sure they have directions to the ceremony and reception locations. Please Note: A day-of-coordinator will not re-negotiate any terms in contracts with vendors at this time, or at any other time prior to, during, or after your wedding day. All agreements should be finalised prior to the wedding. Rehearsal
