A day-of coordinator can be a total lifesaver for couples, no matter the size or budget of their wedding. Many couples start out thinking they can handle every detail themselves, but as the big day gets closer, they realize how invaluable it is to have a professional keeping everything on track.

I always like to remind couples: your mom, dad, best friend, or maid of honor—anyone you might assume can “just take care of it”—is there to celebrate you. Having a coordinator ensures that everyone you love can relax and enjoy the day, while all the behind-the-scenes details are handled seamlessly.
