Sorry to burst your bubble... but a Day of Coordinator shouldn't just show up on your wedding day & work off your timeline

The truth is, that inorder to create a seemless day there needs to be a thorough review of all the moving pieces & the details that you expect to happen on the day. Having an experts second set of eyes on these details will help you ensure that nothing is missed!

There needs to be conversations before the wedding week to ensure you've got some of the important points covered like:
•That your timeline makes sense
•That all possible issues are reviewed & plan "b"s are discussed
•That all the "hands on" details are assigned to someone
•A broken down list of what your taking to the venue & what needs to come home at end of night

✨️Do not miss out on the possible support that the right wedding day coordination service can provide you! ✨️

As soon as you know what your wedding coordination budget is, start gathering quotes & seeing what pre wedding day support they can offer... because this right here will be the secret to creating a smooth wedding day!

🙏🏽Buffer in travel time into your timeline!!!!!!

7 days to go!

The next few weeks getting into venues that are right downtown Toronto, off of lakeshore or anywhere near will be a headache for not only you but for your guests as well 🫠

If traffic on a day where there's a Jay's game or concert is already bumper to bumper ... imagine what till happen once we sprinkle soccer fans into the mix

Make sure to:
- update your wedding website so your guests are aware of potential delays & encourage them to leave earlier
- ensure to review your timeline to give enough time for travel (the more the better)
- remind your families about this!
- revisit your arrival time to the venue... maybe you make a small change to allow you to arrive earlier and get dresses there if that will help ease the travel time

✨️Your wedding timeline should flow easy... plan ahead... & always have some back options where needed!

Wedding Timeline Tips

... do you send someone to get them? Or

Find a way to move forward with out it/them? 🤔

Either way... ceremony might be delayed 🙃

Definitely a detail we can not have slip through the cracks!
So planning ahead will always help ensure you are not caught off guard (too much)

❗️Okay how do we avoid this:

1. Figure out where both rings will be during the morning. Are they needed for photos?

2. Confirm who will be holding the rings into ceremony & when should they have them in their possession by

3. Ensure to give this task to your MOH & BM - they should help keep track of where they are

4. Create a "ceremony pack" with checklist. It can be as simple as a big ziploc bag with a list written on the outside. You want your vows, marriage license, rings & anything else needed

5. Ensure to do a full check for everything needed before you leave your getting ready location!

✨️If you've hired a Day of Coordinator, they shall be the ones stepping in to find the right solution- so rest at ease

❕️And if you must know our answer....
We've sent someone to grab the forgotten rings because the drive time & ceremony start time made sense. We pushed it out 15min and we made up the time during cocktail!

The call really can only be made when you've reviewed how it'll effect the timeline & additional steps required to quickly solving it ----- 😉 something we're pros at

True story... our poor couple had their room canceled on them, but how'd that happen??

All their decor items had been packed up, being delivered to their hotel suite for the night. We had set this up to ensure they could simply walk out of the reception hall with as little as possible.

But that didn't happen.... 😓

It's seems that when the bride had called to "release" the nonbooked blocked rooms, the front desk canceled their room, too! 🤦🏽‍♀️

An honest mistake - that impacted our end of night in a big way

How do you avoid this happening to your wedding night?
- review all your booking reservations for your guests and yourself as soon as you have all your RSVPs back
- ensure you'll be getting booking confirmations leading up to your wedding day
- plan to store your decor within a vehicle, taken in another car, or stored at venue overnight... find a way to make the teardown as easy as possible

And for a quick & smooth check-in...
- take screenshots of your last booking reservation email & have your ID handy
✨️when possible, try to check in earlier in the day!✨️
