Hi All,  I know we are all dealing with ongoing Pandemic.  But there is hope and weddings and events are booking.  Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 are booking quickly...Even Fall 2022 is booking now.  So don't hesitate or your first choice wedding pro may be booked!

I wanted to take a moment to talk about the conccept of the Day of Wedding Coordinator.  This is a solution that many publications and websites suggest as a way to save money or to use if you don't want to hire a "full wedding planner."  While it is less expensive for the planning fees, there is a lot of misunderstanding about what role the planner plays in your wedding planning process.

We call this process Wedding and Event Management.  We get it, some of you want to handle every single detail on your own.  That's cool!  But remember that while you have all of those fabulous details in your head and have been working on them for a long, we are not part of all of those decisions that you are making.  It takes us time to digest and understand what you want and need on your wedding day.  

That's why we do a monthly check-in just to see how things are going.  And answer random questions.  I can't stress this enough...so many times I have been told "oh i won't have questions...and then there are questions...which we happily answer."  or "i wish i understood all you do, I would have hired you for more of the process."

We can't just show up the day of the wedding and execute your vision.  It would be impossible.  We will book this package for you as far in advance as you want. And honestly it can give you a sense of peace during the process to know that you have someone for your big day.  We also provide you with a preferred vendor list (which is continously being updated and evolving).  We also ask that you send us copies of all of your contracts with other wedding pros.  We review them and make sure all is covered...and we need them to confirm that is everything is done per contract specifications on the wedding day.

We start to get super involved in the last 4-6 weeks before your wedding. This is also the time when the stress levels tend to peak for our couples..everyone is getting involved and sharing their opinions.  We can be a neutral 3rd party for you.  We listen, we don't judge, we help talk you through the stress.

During this time, we review everything with you - every small detail.  We create your first draft of your timeline approximately 30 days out from the wedding.  This is done in collaboration with all of your wedding pros.  We start creating a weekend itinerary for you and your wedding party and families.  

Then we turn our attention to the rehearsal.  We will be there for a maximum of 2 hours for rehearsal coverage and guidance.  Usually it takes 45 minutes at the most.  At rehearsal time (or prior) we like to collect all of the items for the wedding day, such as toasting flutes, cake cutting set, favors, place cards, menus, programs and more. This way you don't have to remember to bring anything on the wedding day.

After all of this, then we get to the wedding day.  We are the first to arrive and last to depart on your wedding day.  We coordinate all of the set up, take down, anything that happens during the day. We gather up all of your personal items, along with your designated representative and get them to your hotel or car.  

We make sure you get some of your awesome appetizers while you are taking photos.  We bring your comfy shoes to you so that you can dance the night away.    We keep everyone on time and focused.  And so much more.

It is such a thrill to see it all come together and see the happiness on your face.  Just remember that it is much more than showing up on the day of the wedding.  And with over 11 years of creating weddings in South Florida, we have the experience, knowledge and understanding of what it takes to make this all happen for you.

Remember, you deserve a Fabuluxe Day!
