Question 1

What is Day of Coordination?

Accepted Answer

Day of Coordination is really Month of Coordination or Event Management. Approximately twelve weeks prior to your wedding we get together so you can brief us on your wedding plans.   We contact your vendors, so they know who we are. And most importantly we familiarize ourselves with your vision for your wedding.
Couples who hire us as early as possible benefit from having us as an ongoing resource as they plan their wedding.

Question 2

After the complimentary call how long will you hold my wedding date while I interview other wedding coordinators?

Accepted Answer

The call is complimentary.  We do not hold dates.  We will create a proposal and will honor that proposal until you decide.  You are encouraged to reach back out to us after you finish interviewing, but we cannot promise we will still be available on your wedding date.

Question 3

Do you think a couple plan their own wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no.  Yes, if you or someone helping you is VERY organized.  Yes, if you are prepared to take on a 2nd job.

Wedding planning takes lots of time and energy.  You probably want to save money.  But your time is money, too. Think of all the "extra" time you are putting in to find out what you don't know you need to know.

Do you have time to source and interview vendors, negotiate contracts, choose a venue, manage your wedding party, and do so much more. Yes, if you can separate your emotions and make hard decisions - especially the ones that involve family and friends.

And who will execute the details of your wedding planning on your wedding day?
No, if you can't or don't want to do the things I mentioned.

HELPFUL TIP: Schedule a call with me so that you can get an idea of what you are getting into.

Question 4

Do you offer discounts?

Accepted Answer

That's a great question.  We have spent time pricing our services to be affordable and competitive while still providing a fair profit for the Events U Love team.

We have included all the services needed to have a worry-free wedding in our starting price.

However, if you need additional services to make your day uniquely yours, you can add those services.

When it comes to the starting price for our services we shy away from discounts.

Question 5

Why should I hire you to plan my wedding?

Accepted Answer

We really love helping couples get married.   I still remember what it felt like to plan my own wedding. It was overwhelming and I didn't know what I didn't know.  I needed so much help but didn't ask because I thought I could do it all myself.  I was wrong.

I want to help you through the process so you can remember it and not have feelings of regret about what you could have done to make it more enjoyable.

My career working with engaged couples began as a wedding caterer.  I saw first hand what weddings looked like that were not properly planned.  My desire is to help you and as many couples as possible plan a wedding that they are happy with and that produces happy memories.

My interior decorating background is helpful to couples who want beautiful décor.  Let us help you create amazing table designs and color schemes.  
Planning events is what we do.  We’ve planned multiple weddings, as well as events from bridal expos to birthday parties.  We understand how to create timelines for the wedding planning and for the day of the wedding that prevent you from becoming overwhelmed.

We'd be honored to help you plan your wedding.  
Schedule a call to discuss your ideas and vision with us.

Question 6

Can you help us with décor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can help with decor.  On the day of we are glad to help with quick decor tasks like putting your guest table centerpieces in place, helping with your Sweetheart table, Memory table, and Gift table at no extra charge.

If you need full labor-intensive decor like balloon garlands, ceremony decor for arches, decorating chairs, or a pergola, or the set-up of a backdrop, etc. that would require an additional charge.

We have talented decorators ready, willing, and able to provide full-service decor services.  We would be happy to make recommendations.

Question 7

What is Month of Coordination?

Accepted Answer

Month of Coordination is when we get involved approximately 12 weeks from your wedding day so you can fill us in on all you've planned.  However, the earlier you book us the better so we can offer guidance as you plan.  We want you to enjoy planning your wedding.  Having us at your side as soon as possible will ensure you don't miss anything.

We will contact your vendors and create your timeline and take care of other details leading up to your wedding.  On your wedding day we arrive up to two hours before your wedding begins.  We are behind the scenes making sure all goes according to your plans and the timeline we've created.

We are on site up to one hour after your reception ends making sure your vendors leave the property on time, so you do not incur any additional fees.  We can get more specific during our complimentary call.

Question 8

Why is there such a difference in price with Wedding Coordinators?

Accepted Answer

Another great question.  Every wedding professional has their own process and have varying years of experience in the business.  You will find that those who are new in the business will charge a lot less because they don't have experience and need for couples to give them an opportunity to show what they can do.

Events U Love prices our services so that they are affordable, competitive, with a fair profit margin for living expenses.  This is our business and not a hobby.

Question 9

Where can we see pictures of your weddings?

Accepted Answer

That’s a great question. But showing you pictures of pretty tables and backdrops doesn’t tell you if I can execute your timeline or manage your wedding day details, or work with your vendors. Right❓

As a Wedding Coordinator my job is to do the following, so you have a positive experience: 
✔️Create a timeline that flows and maximizes your time. 
✔️Manage your vendors so everyone knows where to be and when to be there. 
✔️Read all of your contracts. Be your advocate! Make sure the venue & vendors keep all the promises made in their contracts (that’s a big one!) 
✔️Provide guidance, direction, and be a good listener. 
✔️Manage the details on your rehearsal and wedding day. 
✔️And so much more, all with a smile. 
😊 And, yes, I also design pretty tables and backdrops, too!

Question 10

Can you give me an idea of your price range?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This link will take you to our Wedding Coordination s(https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yiRzAKHtSxWEUQhaZL9yvmjhf2qQa1gRhfsUs0v3Sa0/edit?usp=sharing)ervice page.  Keep in mind that I can give you an accurate price after we discuss your specific service needs.

Question 11

What kind of couples does Events U Love work with?

Accepted Answer

We love to collaborate with couples who want to be involved in the planning   process.  It's your wedding so we think you should be an active participant.  We will offer guidance, ideas, and suggestions but the final decision will always be yours.

Question 12

What kind of packages do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our wedding planning packages are customized around each couple’s unique vision. At Events U Love, we only include the services you truly need so you don't pay for extras you don’t want. And if along the way you discover you’d like additional support, we can easily add services to fit your evolving plans. Flexibility and personalization are at the heart of how we serve our couples.
