There is no difference between a ‘wedding
coordinator’ and a ‘wedding planner’. - While this is a common misconception, the
difference lies in the amount of assistance provided. A wedding coordinator will take the details
you have planned and makes sure your day goes according to your plan. A wedding planner will assist you step by
step in the planning process and be able to give you personalized ideas from industry
insight and experience. By taking advantage of Felicity
C Weddings' free introductory meeting, you will be able to get a better idea of how much assistance you will need for your big day.
All vendors should receive a meal at the
reception. - Only some vendors should receive a meal. This is an important step most people
forget when planning the catering.
Hiring a planner will allow the couple to be well informed when
dealing with vendors and to be aware of what to expect on the wedding day.
If flowers account for 6% of the total budget,
then each subdivision (bouquets, floral hairpieces, corsages, boutonnieres,
ceremony site and reception site) allows for 1%. - Every magazine and book gives a different budget
breakdown for flowers, attire, photography, etc. All the different percentages can be
overwhelming. The important thing to
remember is that these percentages are only guidelines, not carved in stone! A personalized budget is included in both Felicity
C Weddings'
full & partial planning packages and available a la carte on the
day of coordination package to help brides stay updated and to make
sure that each
bride’s budget works for her.

'Day of’ Coordinators are only available to the bride for the actual wedding day. - Felicity C Weddings’ Day of Coordination package
starts four to six weeks out! This package
is to ensure that all of the bride and groom’s hard planning work is
carried out to perfection. I will
meet with all of your vendors and clarify the details of your contracts,
create a personalized day of timeline for all vendors as well as the
wedding party and of course be with you the wedding day to ensure your
vision is a success.
Most brides assume that if any problems arise on the wedding day,
her maid of honor or mother will be able to handle everything. - Your family and friends are with you throughout your
engagement to support you and there on your wedding day to celebrate with
you and your groom. While lending a
helping hand with invitation assembly, picking out the favors and writing
out place cards may be a fun bonding time for your wedding party, it is a
far cry from asking a friend to deal with the DJ playing inappropriate
music! Hiring a wedding planner
enables a neutral source to get to know your vendors before the big day. All of Felicity C Weddings'
packages include a personalized timeline for not only the wedding party
but for each vendor. This ensures that everyone is clear on what is
expected and there is much less room for error. In the event that a
problem arises, having a wedding planner’s discretion and quick problem
solving skills is always better than asking a friend to drop out of the
fun.
