7 Reasons to Hire an On-the-Day Coordinator for Your Wedding

Planning your dream wedding can be an exciting, creative adventure. But when it comes to your actual wedding day, do you really want to be stressing about timelines, suppliers, or Aunt Susan’s mysterious last-minute seating request? That’s where an on-the-day wedding coordinator swoops in to save the day like Gandalf at Helm’s Deep (yes, it’s that dramatic).

Here are 7 reasons why hiring an on-the-day coordinator is an absolute game-changer for your wedding day:

1. Leave the Stress to the Pros

No matter how meticulously you’ve planned every detail, wedding days have a knack for throwing curveballs. An on-the-day coordinator ensures those inevitable hiccups don’t reach you. So while you’re basking in the joy of your ceremony, your coordinator is off handling that unexpected supplier mishap like a ninja.

2. Free Up Your Family and Friends

Yes, you could ask your bestie or sibling to manage your wedding logistics, but wouldn’t you rather have them enjoying the celebrations by your side? By hiring a coordinator, everyone can enjoy your wedding to the fullest, without having a checklist in hand.

3. Smooth Supplier Coordination

Think of your wedding as a finely-tuned orchestra. You don’t want to be the one conducting while you’re supposed to be enjoying everything you’ve been planning! Your coordinator will liaise with your suppliers, ensuring everyone is where they need to be, on time, and executing your vision perfectly. From your celebrant to the cake artist, photographer to entertainers we’ve got it covered. 🎂

4. Perfect for DIY and Alternative Weddings

If you’ve handpicked every detail of your wedding, from the Star Wars table centerpieces to your epic first dance playlist, you need someone who gets your vibe. Especially for alternative weddings or DIY nearlyweds, an on-the-day coordinator steps in to ensure your unique plans flow seamlessly, while you get to revel in all your hard work.

💡 If you’re a couple who’s done all the planning but wants a sprinkle of help, this is exactly what the Rivendell package was created for.

5. Catering to Neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ Couples

The beauty of weddings today is how they can reflect the diversity of love and identities. As a wedding coordinator who specialises in alternative weddings, I’m here to make sure your day is respectful, inclusive, and entirely you. Whether it’s working with neurodiverse-friendly plans or creating an LGBTQIA+ safe space, I make sure your day feels as comfortable and joyous as possible so you can soak up the love.

6. Your Day, Your Timeline

You’ve probably spent months working out your perfect timeline (Pinterest, Trello & Notion are a godsend!). A coordinator ensures that everything flows according to your plan - from getting ready to your unique exit - while giving you and your guests enough space to actually enjoy the day. No rushing, no stress, just good vibes.

7. Enjoy Every Moment Without Worry

Ultimately, the goal of any wedding is for the newlyweds to enjoy it. Why spend the day checking the time or fielding calls from suppliers when you could be soaking in every precious moment? We put out all fires ( metaphorically) and fix issues before you even realise they existed. From the first kiss to the last dance, an on-the-day coordinator lets you stay present and fully enjoy your day.

Is an On-the-Day Coordinator Right for You?

If you’re the type of people who love the idea of planning your alternative wedding but still want to ensure everything runs smoothly, an on-the-day coordinator is your ultimate sidekick. Take the pressure off so that you, your new spouse and your wedding guests can all enjoy your celebrations stress-free.
