{ Why
hire
Wildflower?
}
Why should
you hire a wedding coordinator?
Ask
any bride who has used an outstanding professional, and she will
say it saved her from unnecessary stress, anxiety,
mistakes, conflict and overspending on her Big Day. (Or better
yet, ask one who didn't.) Ask her if that twenty minutes she was
late to her pedicure caused an entire church full of anxious
guests to wait an extra half hour. Did the caterers' food dry out
or get cold in that extra holding time? Did she incur an extra
cost for the additional half hour for servers or bartenders who
were just standing there waiting? Ask her beloved if she was
ever a Bridezilla and did the planning test their love for each
other?
Talk to her wedding party who had to do all the decorating,
cutting cake, tearing down late into the night after being on
their feet all day, returning rentals and packing gifts around.
Ask them if they enjoyed the wedding, the food, the details, did
they see the couple smile? Or were their eyes puffy and squinty
from decorating into the wee hours of the night after the
rehearsal the night before? Did that first glass of champagne
knock them out because there was no time to eat all day prior to
the ceremony? Did their feet hurt and were there times they
wished they could go home? They will probably reply, She
owes me.
Ask the bride and groom's
family if it was everything they hoped for? Did they enjoy themselves? Did they get to see that sparkling tear roll down their
daughter's cheek during the joy of nuptials or were their mind
wondering to what was next right after the ceremony again, or
that wasn't the right song for the processional! Did they get to
visit with all their closest friends and family or did they
spend most of the evening doling out checks and talking to the photographer about when to expect the photos and venue personnel
about the fact that there is an extra thirty minutes of air
conditioning charge because they were LATE! Finally, ask them if
they are glad it is over. I don't even want to admit how many
times I have heard that from folks who did it all themselves. It
really doesn't have to be that way.
If you don't hire a
professional for yourself, do it for those people. Give them the
night off to enjoy your commitment ceremony. Thank them for
witnessing it with you and being so supportive. Let it be your
gift to yourself and your groom, so that you can feel like a
guest at your own event. Be wowed by your own creativity rolling
out before you rather than stressed with the knowledge that
there just wasn't enough time to put the ribbons you bought into
the programs you punched holes in. Sometimes although you worked
like a mad woman for a year there is just still too much to do
right before the big event, don't take it all on by yourself;
let Wildflower turn your celebration into memories for a
lifetime.

Day of Coordination:
An invaluable service by Holly LeFevre
Hiring a professional coordinator just
for your wedding day, to organize and manage details, can save a
brides sanity.
The big day is
approaching, and after having dedicated so much time to the
planning and perfecting of every aspect of your event (not to
mention the money), do you dare leave the execution of these
details to chance? You are the Bride and should be carrying
around a bouquet NOT a clipboard! You will need to have someone
that can be responsible for putting all of the elements and
details in place on the day of your celebration.
Month of and day of coordinators can be hired for your wedding
day at any time during the planning but generally don't jump
into your wedding until 1-2 months prior to the wedding day. At
this point the professional will be assisting you in pulling
together the itinerary, confirming vendor commitments and double
checking the details, decisions and services that you have
already contracted for. The coordinator will be working with the
information you give her to formulate a master plan for the
entire day, so that you can rest assured that the details are in
place and the event is being managed by a professional. Because
these services are not as expensive as a full package that
covers all the planning from beginning to end Month of and day
of packages are a very budget friendly way to get peace of mind
on your day.
Whether you are planning a wedding or event that is big or
small, casual or formal, the knowledge professionalism, and
assistance a coordinator can provide you, is well worth the
cost.
