I have hired a wedding coordinator, just for the wedding day. What are the usual responsibilities?

Question

She is handling the rehearsal and the wedding day itinerary, but I think there should be more given that she is being paid to coordinate things. I appreciate your advice on this one.

Answer 1

You need to talk to HER and together determine her responsibilities.  I would have her coordinate the rehearsal and deal with all vendors on the day of the wedding, at the very least.

Finally, she should be able to handle guests that don't cooperate. My guy would just shout "Would y'all shut yer traps and get ya'll over here?" Yes, I've actually heard him say y'all twice in one sentence when he's stressed.

Answer 2

There should be a very explicit contract. I have a sample one from a coordinator. If you want to see it send me a message.

Answer 3

Trust me, that doesn't seem like a lot but it is. And she'll end up doing FAR more than that as she sees things needing to be done. I hope she'll even have assistants to help her too. It 's a BIG job trust me!
