A Wedding Day Coordinator is a necessity so that everyone, especially you, the bride, can relax and enjoy the most precious moments you’ve been working toward.
Esplanade Package - Day of Coordination
Also known as ‘Month-of’ Coordination, this service begins 4-6 weeks prior to your wedding date and is available to secure your date 4 months in advance. I'll jump on board then to make sure your ship is sailing straight. At the 4-month mark (or as soon as you book), we can give you vendor recommendations for anything you’ve not secured yet. With our check list in-hand, you’ll be ready to complete your final tasks. We’ll re-group for a Detail Planning Meeting, where we put together your wedding timeline, ceremony logistics and more. In the final month, we fully take over vendor communication and tie up all loose ends. We then conduct your rehearsal and wedding day from start to finish, Emergency Kit in hand.

Some couples want to plan their own weddings, from beginning to end, but they still need some advice from a professional along the way. For couples such as these, we offer a service with an hour based fee. We will guide you based on your needs, as well as provide you with referrals to some of the best wedding vendors around.
