Hello world!

Even the most organized couple can’t hand over a binder the morning of the wedding and expect a planner to instantly know:

• Where each vendor is supposed to set up
• What the photo timeline looks like
• Who’s responsible for cueing music, lighting candles, or bustling your dress
• How the officiant, caterer, and photographer are coordinating
• A professional coordinator can’t “wing” your wedding — we need to be involved well before the day to make sure everything runs smoothly.

If you’re planning a destination wedding — say, on beautiful Amelia Island — logistics get even more complex. You’re often coordinating travel, rentals, local vendors, and out-of-town guests.

A true “day-of” planner simply couldn’t learn your vision, manage your team, and troubleshoot all of that in 24 hours, or even a month. 

Hiring a wedding manager instead of a “day-of” coordinator means:

• You get professional guidance in the final stretch
• You avoid last-minute crises and miscommunication
• You can actually relax and enjoy your day, knowing every detail is covered

When you see “day-of coordination” on a planner’s website, read between the lines — most experienced planners mean Wedding Management or what we like to call "The Essentials."

Here’s what that usually includes:

• A planning meeting to discuss the timeline, decor, floorplan and vision of your day. 
• Monthly Check List 
• Vendor recommendations, review and confirmations
• Detailed timeline creation
• Diagram creation
• Final Detail Meetings with vendors 
• Final Venue Walk Through 
• Rehearsal direction
• Full wedding-day management
• This service bridges the gap between full planning and doing everything yourself — it ensures your plans actually work in real life.
