Is there such a thing as a day of coordinator?
I'm happy to plan things, but would like a fairy godmother type to help keep timelines running smoothly.

Hi Catriona,
Yes of course! I can definitely help you here and customise to fit your needs :)
We typically take over comms the month before, so you can relax and enjoy. From there we will reconfirm all the suppliers, lock in the schedule and be there throughout the day.

What do we need to consider when deciding on a wedding planner?
Lavish Events
I think it really depends on what you want and how well a planner can meet your needs. At the end of the day every wedding is custom, so there needs to be that flexibility in what your planner provides. Another thing that is really important, is how well your personalities match with the planner (at the end of the day you will be spending a lot of time with them and want to make sure you feel comfortable and have that trust!)

Hello,
Most imporant thing is it runs to the flow YOU want - as it is your day. I would suggest:

420PM: Head to family home to photograph Bride and groom with horses
5PM Heads back to venue for photos on the grounds
512PM SUNSET
530PM: Head to reception venue
RECEPTION 500PM: Room details
545PM: Bridal party enter reception
Entree is served
615PM: First speech – MOG FOG
620PM: Second speech – MOH
625PM: Third speech - Bridal Party
Dinner is served - have a small space between speeches as it is a lot to sit there an listen
740PM: Fourth speech –FOB
7:45PM Fifth Speech - BM
750PM: Sixth speech - couple
755PM: Cake cutting - straight into first dance
800PM: First dance
845PM: Photography to end
Also, try and keep thespeeches no longer than 5 minutes! You have quite a few, so I would be definitely asking to see how long they are before, otherwise your schedule will go out!
