Why is a Wedding Coordinator so important?

Some of you have probably experienced the horrors of a "do it yourself wedding" at the moment when a stressed out bride and both families finally realize that they have created a disaster that their friends and relatives will be laughing about for years.  The typical reson for attempting a "do it yourself wedding" is money ,but frequently once realization occurs at the impending disaster about ten days before the ceremony, couples start throwing extra money (that they never planed to spend at their wedding,) trying to cover up for unplanned mistakes.  A good example is hiring a limo at the last minute instead of replacing a cash bar with a per person bar, real versus artifical flowers, or a DJ versus having one of their friends play some CD's.  Overspending on guest favors will never cover up poor planning.

Wedding coordinators who have done hundreds of weddings can make a planning session and subsequent communication with the bride invaluable because they know how to make a bride's vision happen and not get sidetracked.  Wedding coordinators help the bride establish priorities that will allow for a ceremony and reception that reflects the couple's actual plan and not just a fleeting idea that should never be implemented.  Complex families also require a neutral party that can manage a rehearsal and ceremony because of their experience in dealing with such issues.  The goal is for everyone to feel included.  Our reputation depends on you having the perfect wedding and that is why at Hermann Hill wedding coordinators are included as part of all of our wedding packages.  You will also have a wedding coordinator at your planning session and rehearsal.
