For the bride - the wedding coordinator serves a great purpose: 1. Save you money, 2. Save you time, 3. Save you headache because she is the one responsible for making sure everything starts on time and everyone is on time, 4. She also is the one that makes sure the vendors are getting paid and they are doing what they are suppose to do.
Now wedding coordinators do 2 things to me 1. Refer me. 2. Rush me!! This used to really bug me, but not anymore. I learned the secret! And that is to tell them what they want to hear.
Example: “Photographer, its 4:30. Can you take their pictures and make sure that they are at the hall by 4:45?” My response is, “Of course I can.”
Now in reality:
Of course I can’t take photographs and have them at the hall in 15 minutes! But it’s not worth arguing with her about it. I’ll just take however much time is needed and apologize later. She’s doing her job and I’m doing mine. No hard feelings. But for the most part, they are a pleasure to work with and the weddings that have had one do run smoother than ones that don’t. I encourage every bride to hire one because when the wedding day comes, all you want to do is look beautiful and have fun (and not worry about vendors, flowers, and other stuff).
