Your wedding day is going to be THE most fabulous day of your life, so don’t spend it stressing over the little things

When you are drinking fizz and getting ready with your besties or as your dad has his proudest moment walking you down the aisle, you don’t need a phone call from the cake maker to say they are stuck in traffic or the band can’t find the venue.

And that’s where I come in. Your handy behind the scenes best mate on your big day.

Most of the couples I work with are either getting married at home, or in a field where they have some kind of marquee or maybe a barn that doesn’t have a dedicated wedding co-ordinator. As you go through the planning stages of a wedding like this you realise how many elements and suppliers there are to manage, and having some support on the day really is a necessity! Of course you could ask your best man or bridesmaid, but don’t you want them to sit back and enjoy the day with you?

So what does ‘On The Day Co-ordination’ mean?

• Access to Wildflower Events recommended supplier list

• Formulation of wedding day timeline

• Contacting suppliers beforehand and distributing wedding day timeline

• Liaising with suppliers in the 2 weeks prior to the wedding to ensure they are aware of their location on the day, power requirements, site access and that all details are in line with the wedding couple’s plan

• Ensuring set up on site in the morning according to the plan/design. This includes working with florist and caterers to ensure tables set up correctly with place settings, menus, napkins folds, favours etc

• Meeting and greeting suppliers as they arrive and assisting them with set up.

• Be the point of contact for the duration of the wedding for suppliers, bridal party and guests from 9am until midnight

• Deal with any unexpected issues

• Cue all wedding professionals to keep to the schedule of the day

• Assisting photographer with any photos, getting groups together etc

• Collection of gifts and personal items and storing safely

And in reality these are the kind of things I end up doing….

• Drive to the shops to get the ice one of the bridal party forgot to pick up

• Check the toilets regularly to make sure they are well stocked with toilet roll, and if they run out I raid the emergency stash in the back of my van :)

• Help clear glasses while the bar is getting swamped

• I’m on hand with my sewing kit for any outfit fails

• Make sure Granny has a blanket and a comfy place to sit while she watches everyone on the dance floor!

• Heat up the baby bottle

• Sweep up broken glass off the dancefloor

• I’m the last to leave after getting in all the cushions from the outside lounge so they don’t get damp!

How much does this cost?

Prices start from £1000 and depends on guest numbers and the scale of your wedding.
