It’s another beautiful “Magical Monday” here at Fairy Godmother!
We get so busy having fun sprinkling our Fairy magic that we sometimes forget to tell everyone just what WE do!
Here at Fairy Godmother, we are fortunate enough to work with the best in the business!
From caterers to photographers to venues and rentals, we team up with everyone!
A common misconception is that venue coordinators and wedding planners are one in the same… And while some may have overlapping duties, they are still very different!
We want to take a moment to share just what those differences may be, and what they may mean for you!
A “Venue Coordinator“, also known as a “site coordinator,” is someone assigned to your event from your venue. While this person has you in their interests, their loyalty lies with their venue. The Venue Coordinator takes care of things like the tables, chairs, the grounds, etc. not necessarily you or your guests.
Venue Coordinators do not attend your wedding if it is offsite, they do not assist with pushy guests or uncooperative bridesmaids, and they do not help design and plan your wedding day- typically.
A “Wedding Planner“ is with you on your day, and those leading up to, and even soon after! A Wedding Planner is there to help you not only plan your wedding, but also to design the overall style of your day. Lighting, linens and florals are aspects that a planner ensures reflect your desired theme is portrayed correctly.
Wedding Planners not only keep a balanced register of costs, but they will also attend meetings with D.J.’s, caterers, venues, etc. to assist in the planning process, in it’s entirety.
The wedding industry has taken the fast track when it comes to implementing new programs, new techniques and new ways to continue advancement.
In addition to creating new ways for things to run smoother and more efficiently, the industry has modified job titles and descriptions so there is no grey area to what should be expected.
“Wedding Day Management,” previously known as “Day Of Coordinator,” is sometimes all you need! A “Day Of” coordinator is running the event just as you planned it, while doing it seamlessly! Your wedding day manager is more than their title, they are your mediator, orchestrator, consultant, organizer and friend all in one!
Wedding day managers also create detailed timelines for your wedding day, along with pre-wedding day appointments to compose a clear and mutual understanding of how you want your wedding day to be.
The main goal is to provide clients with the difference of these titles, as they are most often incredibly misconstrued.
