Events By Michelle

“Month-of” or “Day-of” coordination is such a common name in the wedding industry, but we truly believe that these packages are a misnomer. We believe achieving a well-organized wedding requires more communication than just jumping in on the day of the wedding or a few weeks before. Events By Michelle’s primary service is Wedding Day Management (day of coordination) begins 4-6 weeks prior to your wedding day.

This is our most frequently asked question! Many coordinators have different boundaries when it comes to setting up and tearing down. Your lead coordinator and assistant are more than happy to assist with both setting up and tearing down. Our goal is to make your wedding as smooth as possible, and 99% of the time, that typically means having not just the two of us assist with all of the set up and tear down! We are happy to walk you through the best and most efficient way for these things to happen during our meeting. So, if we do have to step away to take care of something else, your decor is still in capable hands.

The wedding venue coordinator vs outside wedding coordinator debate is a tricky one, especially as many more venues now come with a day-of coordinator. One thing to keep in mind is that a venue day-of coordinator does not work for you. Their priority is the workings of the venue, and many venue coordinators do not have prior wedding coordination experience outside of the venue. Many venue day-of coordinators in the area have not known how to create a professional wedding timeline without an online template. This shows that they are not trained professionals, and "became" day-of coordinators when they were hired at the venue.

Pending your preferred coordinator is available, you can absolutely have a preference. Just state your preferred coordinator in your inquiry form! The majority of the time, your lead coordinator simply depends on availability!
