A wedding coordinator oversees a couple’s wedding day. While a wedding planner assists the bride and groom to choose everything from attire, to music and food, your job as a wedding coordinator is focused on the execution of the actual wedding day. Your responsibilities include meeting with the couple a few weeks before the wedding, confirming vendor contracts and pre-established plans, and planning the logistics and timeline of the ceremony and reception. While you are not responsible for choosing any aspects of the wedding, you must ensure that they happen without issue. You are there to create a stress and responsibility free event for the couple, the family, and guests on the big day. Wedding coordinators usually work for an event planning company, but you can also work for yourself. Many wedding planners also offer coordination services.
