First and foremost, a Day-of Coordinator will play a big, big part of relieving your stress in general. They will be responsible for executing all the small details required during your event.  They’re going to be your point person all day for everything and anything! In the simplest terms, a day of coordinator serves as your problem solver for the day. Additional duties can include creating timelines in the pre-planning stages. A timeline is a very important component in making your day run smoothly. A completed timeline will consist of your ceremony and reception schedule, but also pre-ceremony.

You’ll see a trend for intimate micro weddings and maxi-weddings where everything from your wedding attire to your music is oversized and extravagant. That’s because we’ll see two clear paths emerging out of 2020 –  those who feel the need to scale back and focus on a tight-knit group of closest family and friend, and those whose passion to celebrate with everyone they care for means a BIG guest list. RELAXED AND INFORMAL Top of the…
