Perhaps a wedding planner is out of your budget. Perhaps you have enough time to organise and plan your wedding yourself. If this is the case, then a coordination team will be able to assist you in putting together your vision. Wedding planning is more than just booking vendors and making payments. There are logistics involved such as set up times, take down, managing the wedding guests and making sure everything runs on time. A good coordination team will make sure everything goes without a “hitch” and you and your family are not rushing around sorting out last minute things. Think of a wedding coordination team as your support network; a group of hardworking professionals who have your best interests at heart and will be there to take on the task of managing any issues that arise on your wedding. Even the most well-planned weddings will face a few hurdles, and the role of a coordinating team is to solve any problems that arise to ensure your Big Day runs smoothly.
Remember that your family and friends are not wedding coordinators and are attending your wedding as guests. Assigning a specific task to a cousin or aunt is one thing, but (and I tell you this from experience), giving a guest the job of coordinating your wedding rarely works out. I certainly would not advise risking it. (Again, I speak from experience!)
You can expect your wedding coordinator to do all the heavy lifting with Vendor logistics and the wedding day timeline.
