With more and more wedding options available each year, it\u2019s no wonder time-poor couples are turning to the professionals when it comes to organising an unforgettable wedding.\u00a0 Here is our go-to guide on what each wedding professional does, and the role they can play in your celebration. Learn the difference between a wedding planner<\/strong><\/a>, wedding venue coordinator<\/strong><\/a>, and wedding stylist<\/strong><\/a>\u2014 plus which one you need<\/em> by your side!<\/p>\n A venue coordinator is your guru when it comes to your wedding location of choice. It\u2019s their job to know their venue inside and out and to be your liaison for all things location related. Depending on the venue, their offering may include light planning services such as coordinating your vendors on the day of your wedding, but it\u2019s always wise to check.<\/p>\n Your wedding venue coordinator is a treasure trove of valuable information, so be sure to pick their brain on how to best use the venue’s attributes and facilities to your advantage. They see and work at countless weddings, so they have unique insight into what does and doesn’t work within the space.<\/p>\n The short answer is an emphatic, \u201cYes.\u201d That said, in most cases, this one isn’t optional! The wedding venue coordinator is an employee of the venue whose main responsibility is to ensure weddings run smoothly and within the rules of that particular business.<\/p>\n On the bright side, the services of a wedding venue coordinator are included in the venue fees, so you don\u2019t need to worry about accommodating them in your budget. Some venues offer different levels of venue coordinator involvement within their packages to accommodate couples who require some extra planning assistance or favour a more hands-off approach.<\/p>\nFind Your Venue<\/span><\/a>\n Fresh florals, whimsical props, and flowing fabrics. Wedding stylists<\/strong><\/a> have a monopoly on the fun, pretty, and creative jobs in a wedding. For your wedding stylist, it’s all about the aesthetic. They\u2019ll take your inspiration mood boards and discuss your preferences with you, then source vendors to bring your vision to life.<\/p>\n A good wedding stylist will have a trusted network of furniture hire suppliers<\/strong><\/a>, floral artists<\/strong><\/a>, and other decorative vendors<\/strong><\/a> to call on. In short, hiring a wedding stylist is the best and easiest way to ensure all the visual elements of your wedding work in harmony and cohesion.<\/p>\n Unsure where to start? You can even ask your stylist to design your wedding aesthetic around one element, like an elegant and modern engagement ring or a vintage wedding dress. It\u2019s important to note that wedding stylists work only in the realm of the aesthetic; they don’t assist with any functional or organisational parts of wedding planning.<\/p>\n A wedding stylist is a rare and unique hybrid role of both artist and organiser. With so many visual elements involved in the creation of a cohesive and statement-making wedding aesthetic, it can quickly become overwhelming (and messy!) for those who opt to DIY.<\/p>\n That said, if your venue requires minimal dressing up, you are on a tight budget, or you prefer to have total control, a wedding stylist can seem like an unnecessary expense. If you\u2019re on the fence, we recommend reaching out to a wedding stylist or two for a quote<\/strong><\/a>. You might find that their services are a lot more affordable than you anticipated!<\/p>\nBrowse Wedding Stylists<\/span><\/a>\n A wedding planner<\/strong><\/a> is the master organiser behind it all. With a meticulously planned run sheet in hand and all of your vendors on speed dial, your wedding planner will remove the stress of planning and budgeting a wedding with a flick of their perfectly organised binder.<\/p>\n Virtually no couple planning a wedding is an expert on the subject. After all, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime (we hope!) task. Wedding planners understand this and are there to fill that gap with their knowledge and experience. Any tedious or laborious planning task will fall to your wedding planner, giving you the time and peace of mind to enjoy the lead-up to your wedding.<\/p>\n An organised and well-connected wedding planner can make all the difference when planning a wedding. In many cases, the deals they are able to wrangle may more than cover their fee, not to mention the valuable time you\u2019ll save as they tackle the nitty gritty of organising your day.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re unsure if you need a wedding planner, we recommend looking at different arrangements. While a full-service wedding planner will organise everything from proposal to aisle, other professionals offer partial services where they can take on just the tasks you find the most difficult.<\/p>\n Working with one of our amazing Wedding Supplier Specialists<\/strong><\/a> can be the perfect middle ground to take away the laborious task of sifting through thousands of potential suppliers for your wedding day. “You’re not supposed to know what to do!” says Darcy, one of Easy Weddings’ expert Wedding Supplier Specialists. “That’s what we’re here for. We match and personalise a combination of suppliers based on your needs and budget. Plus, all of the suppliers we recommend are tried and tested. We want you to have the absolute best.”<\/p>\nChat To A Supplier Specialist<\/span><\/a>\nWedding Venue Coordinator<\/h4>\n
