Check with your venue: Many venues provide a preferred vendor list, which can help narrow your options. Vendors familiar with your venue will already know the space and how to work within it. These professionals will be part of your journey in the months leading up to your big day, so building trust is key.

When you outline your flat fee it is normal to charge a fee for your services, plus a percentage based on the total vendor fees.

Therefore, most wedding coordinators will come in at least 6 to 12 weeks before your big day to get to know you, help you make any final decisions and tie up any loose ends, and manage all the vendors. How Much Does a Day of Wedding Coordinator Cost?
All-inclusive wedding packages are designed to offer couples a complete solution for their big day, covering everything from the venue to catering, décor, and entertainment. These packages typically include essential services such as floral arrangements, lighting, music, photography, and even day-of coordination.
Locking in a venue will solidify your wedding date & location, provide you with insight into what other vendors you will need, and allow you to manage how the rest of your wedding budget is allocated. You will still need to find vendors like your coordinator, photographer, videographer, florist, DJ, hair and makeup teams, officiant, etc.
Wedding decorators will occasionally also offer floral services, but they never include day-of coordination services. It is important to know the difference between these services and understand each professional's role in bringing your day together per their contract. How many weddings do you do a year?
