Planning a wedding can be a lot of work, so you don’t want all of that hard work to be for nothing. Even with detailed planning, you still need someone to execute those plans on the day itself. A day-of coordinator will ensure that everything goes according to your vision.

Here are several reasons why having a day-of coordinator is important:

Stress Reduction
A day-of coordinator allows you, your family and your friends to relax and truly enjoy the day. A day-of coordinator will be a point of contact for guests and family members who may have questions or need assistance. The last thing you want is everyone going to you with questions.

Problem Solving
There are always issues that arise during any wedding, even after meticulous wedding planning. A coordinator will handle them swiftly and discreetly and will find a solution on the spot.

Time Management
It is crucial to have a wedding day timeline and a coordinator who will ensure that everything happens according to that timeline. They keep track of time so that you don’t have to.

Attention to Details
Some Day-of Coordinators will set up all of your decorations (this is something that you should ask a potential coordinator about) and will make sure the venue is set up correctly and that everything is in place. They will also line up your bridal party for the ceremony and introductions, gather family for photos, etc.

Emergency Preparedness:
A coordinator will be prepared with things like a needle and thread, stain remover, lint roller and umbrellas, and will handle unexpected situations calmly and efficiently.

So how much should you expect to pay for a Day-of Coordinator? The cost of a day-of coordinator in the Chicagoland area can vary based on several factors. Very basic packages can start around $800 and can reach up to $5000 if you want more hands-on involvement in the weeks or even months leading up to a wedding.
