Wedding Coordination

Weddings are delightful, and for the Bride and Groom who have worked hard for months to book the venue, choose a caterer, photographer, cake...it is absolutely essential to have someone there that can make sure your vision is perfectly executed on the day of the wedding; this is where I come in.

I provide month-of/day-of coordination services which includes coordinating schedules and final details with all vendors in the month before the wedding, coordinating the rehearsal, set up and decorating on the morning of the wedding, and coordination of the full wedding day along with my assistant, tear down and repacking of decorations and cleanup oversight until the final walk-through with the venue owners.


As wedding coordinator, I bring all the pieces together so that your wedding day is smooth and you can relax and enjoy it!
