Happy New Year, guys!!! Today, I am going to try and answer a question that almost every enquiry we receive contains – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PLANNER AND A COORDINATOR. I am sure some of you also wonder where the differences lie… Alright! Let’s dive in.
* * A wedding planner:
- A wedding planner begins work between six (6) to twelve (12) months before the wedding date.
- A wedding planner guides the couple through their entire wedding planning process.
- A wedding planner prepares all the pre-wedding plans such as creation of budgets, booking of vendors, putting together all logistical requirements for the wedding, managing vendor contracts etc.
- A wedding planner helps with the conceptualization of wedding design, creation of seating and floor plans.
- A wedding planner ensures that the planning process is smooth, enjoyable and stress-free for the couple.
** A wedding coordinator:
- A wedding coordinator begins work mostly a month before the wedding date.
- A wedding coordinator takes over all the plans, timings, contacts that the couple might have put together for their wedding.
- A wedding coordinator reviews all wedding plans drafted by the couple and serve as a liaison between the couple and their vendors.
- A wedding coordinator manages vendors and oversee the running of the wedding day itself.
- A wedding coordinator serves as the hypeman/woman for the couple on the wedding day. He or She sees to it that the couple feel at ease and enjoy every bit of the wedding…it is their BIG DAY after all.
