There is no such thing as a day-of coordinator. There's a lot of invisible work (30-50 hours before the day) that goes into being a “DOC.” It is not possible to just show up and work on the day — and it’s the biggest misconception couples have when looking for DOCs.

Our minimum hire amount is a month-of support service. Even when you do not hire me for full-service planning, I have to know your event inside and out to be able to run your day. There is a reason I do not offer setup and breakdown-only packages.

I start work at a minimum of 3-6 weeks before your wedding to create your event and vendor timelines, decor inventory lists, and lists rental/floral/etc. I identify the gaps or questions before the day comes to avoid miscommunications and misunderstandings that lead to issues on the day.

All of this so that, on the day, I am able to execute and problem-solve, make decisions on behalf of you to ensure that even if issues occur, your vision is not compromised. Anyone offering you less support is not able to provide top-notch service.

A venue coordinator works for the venue and is there to ensure that your event abides by the venue’s requirements. Some venue coordinators only support your planning process before the day; others actually work on the day.

While it is possible that a venue coordinator can do a majority of our day-of coordinating role, it is not their job to and most do not provide anywhere near the service that we can provide. Only a small minority of all-inclusive venues may have a good venue coordinator who goes above and beyond.

Take it from this bride: “The only thing I wish I did differently was hire a coordinator. I was too scared to relinquish control and had lots of help from friends and family, but unfortunately, I think it robbed me of being fully present that day. I think a lot of hiccups that happened throughout the day would have been best facilitated by a professional. In reality I couldn’t do all of the things I wanted to be doing and it definitely added way more unnecessary stress; and things I wanted to do still got overlooked because I couldn’t do it all!”

I’m very responsive, friendly, and organized. I’m happy to let you take the reigns (you: my month-of clients) and keep me in the loop however you like. Once I get involved, not a stone is unturned! I comb through your contracts, planning spreadsheets, forwarded emails, and pull it all together.

Once you are official booked with me, I am glad to be a sounding board for you at any time when you are making a decision, feeling stressed, or just need someone to be excited with. I don’t take on a ton of couples, so I am very invested with each one I work with.

In a sea of wedding vendors, I hope to stand out as affordable and accessible to my couples.

I dream of planning a wedding that isn’t wasteful, and doing it alongside fellow waste-conscious small businesses.

I want to plan the types of weddings that me and my friends want to attend. I’m not bogged down by tradition or the typical wedding aesthetic, and I want to help my couples celebrate who they are.

If you’re feeling out of place while wedding vendor shopping, then this might be the place for you.

I’ve included some kind words from my past couples below. I always solicit feedback after working with couples so that I can continue to improve my services.
