Day of coordinator vs. mistress of ceremonies

Tilar Fifield, on May 24, 2019 at 9:37 AM Posted in Planning 0 3
I’m wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation... I feel like my venue is slightly different than most because it’s more of a company I’m going through rather than a venue. When you book with this company you get all of your core vendors (catering, flowers, cake, photographer and all that good stuff) but you pay one flat rate. This lady who runs the company really just rents the space and she is the head of it all and she is the venue coordinator. She has texted me throughout my planning process to check up on me; she’s a great lady. But I know she is not a day of coordinator, just a venue coordinator. I do have a mistress of ceremonies who is also the bomb, but she is a family member. I 100% trust her to keep everyone on track prior to the ceremony, but I’m afraid once the night gets rolling she will want to socialize and her duties may fade away from her. She is not that type of person, I think I’m just being paranoid. Should I be good with the venue coordinator + my MOC? She I look into a day of coordinator? There is a girl I work with who just graduated with a degree in event planning who I would love to ask if need be. But she’s never done a wedding before. Thoughts?

    Honestly, it sounds like you're in good hands with your current set-up. However, if it makes you feel better then hire a day of coordinator. It's all about your comfort and ease!

    Hi there Smiley smile

    I'm so happy to hear that everything is going great so far with your planning and communication with the venue coordinator. Sounds like a great set up you've got going!

    If you would feel better hiring a day of coordinator and it's within your budget, perhaps its something you could look into. It's completely based on how you're feeling and what you're comfortable with!

    With the current set up, do you think you will relax on the wedding day knowing everything is taken care of? If so, you're all set Smiley smile

    Where is your venue?
