As a bride, you're likely focused on the big picture when it comes to your wedding day, but did you know there are many small details that go into making your wedding day a success? 

Here are 4 things that wedding planners do that brides often don't know about:

Review vendor contracts:

Wedding planners are trained to review vendor contracts and ensure that all necessary details are included, such as delivery and setup times, payment terms, and contact information. This can help protect you from any unexpected surprises on your wedding day.

Communicate with food and beverage vendors:

Wedding planners have strong relationships with food and beverage vendors, and we are responsible for communicating your dietary needs, menu selections, and other important details to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Create a floorplan:

Wedding planners create a detailed floor plan to guide you through the venue layout, ensuring that everything is set up exactly as you envision it. This includes the placement of tables, chairs, décor, seating charts, and more.

Create event day timeline:

Wedding planners create an event day timeline that includes all the important details of your wedding day, from the start of the ceremony to the end of the reception. This timeline ensures that everything runs smoothly and on time, and it helps to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings on your special day.

Wedding planners do much more than just coordinate details on your wedding day. From reviewing vendor contracts to creating a very specific event day timeline, we are responsible for ensuring that your day is seamless, stress-free, and everything you've dreamed of.
