Day of Coordination

Day of Coordination is the ideal option for the client who has their planning process under control and has planned every detail, nevertheless, prefers the assistance of a Planner. Your Planner is there to provide professional guidance with perfecting the final details and coordinating the logistics with your selected vendors you have acquired.

Within this package, your Planner is on hand to ensure the day of your event operates effortlessly. We will start our coordination process six to eight months before ensuring the final details have been accomplished.

In addition to your planner, assistants may be needed to ensure the management of your event (the number of assistants is based on the scope and complexity of the event).
