Coordination
What’s the difference between you and my venue’s coordinator?
A venue coordinator works for the venue and looks after the space and the venue’s own staff. I work for you: I manage all your vendors, your timeline, setup and the flow of the whole day, and I’m happy to work alongside your venue’s coordinator.
Does “day-of” coordination really start on the day?
No. You can reach me by email and phone from our first consultation, and we have 2 to 3 planning meetings in the weeks before your event. Active coordination begins 1 month out for the Half Day and Full Day packages.
Which package do I need?
Half Day covers up to 5 hours on-site and suits smaller or shorter events. Full Day is at least 8 hours and covers the ceremony and reception. Partial Planning adds venue site visits, a full timeline built for you, a to-scale venue layout and decor guidance. Multi-Day Camp Wedding covers 2 to 3 days of coordination. Answer a few questions for a suggestion, or see all the packages and prices.
Do you coordinate events other than weddings?
Yes: vow renewals, bar and bat mitzvahs, camping celebrations, backyard parties and corporate events too.
What happens if something goes wrong on the day?
I handle it, usually before you know there was a problem. I’m also a certified Wilderness First Responder and CPR certified, which helps when your venue is out in the woods.
Where I work
What areas do you serve?
I’m based in Edmonds and serve Snohomish County, Seattle and beyond.
Will you coordinate a wedding at a campground, farm or backyard?
I love them. Years of guiding trips across the national parks taught me how to run an event with no venue staff, and my Multi-Day Camp Wedding package covers a full weekend.
Bartending
Do you provide the alcohol?
No. In every package the alcohol comes from you or your venue. I’ll help you estimate quantities so you’re never over or under stocked.
Can I book bartending with coordination?
Yes, as an add-on to your coordination package, for a seamless all-in-one experience. See the bartending packages.
Is there a tip jar?
No tip jar, no awkward moments: everything is included in the flat rate.
Still have a question?
