This is something I’ve had a lot of conversations about lately… the difference between a Planner and a Coordinator. The difference isn’t always obvious at the beginning and that’s totally understandable! ⬇️
A Wedding Coordinator steps in much closer to the wedding day (usually ~60 days before). They take what’s already been planned and make sure it all comes together by managing the timeline, vendor confirmations, and flow so everything runs smoothly. And that role is so important!
A Wedding Planner is there often from the very beginning. Sitting in the planning decisions with you. Guiding you through what you don’t know yet. Helping shape the design vision, the experience, and all the moving pieces that lead up to the day!
I’ve seen firsthand how different a wedding day feels when someone has been part of the entire process versus stepping in at the end. Neither is “better”, they just serve different needs. Understanding that difference can really change how supported you feel, not just on your wedding day, but in everything leading up to it! 💕
