Day-of coordinators make your day easier on you, your family members and bridal party.  Every wedding needs to have one sane person who knows what is going on – this should be your day-of coordinator.  Coordinators allow the bride to focus on her day - not whether the menus are on the tables or if Aunt Linda has her corsage.  These details are the responsibility of your coordinator.  Having an organized plan of attack for your wedding makes things run smoothly and allows you to enjoy your wedding with the least amount of stress possible.

Coordinate-It is based out of Oak Hill, WV.  I enjoy traveling and am willing to travel to the following cities or anywhere in between. 

West Virginia - Huntington, Charleston, Beckley, Princeton, Lewisburg, Bluefield,                                              Parkersburg, Morgantown, Elkins

Kentucky - Ashland, Grayson, Pikeville

Ohio - Ironton, Jackson, Proctorville, Athens

Virginia - Blacksburg, Pearisburg, Wytheville, Bristol, Wise

Tennessee - Kingsport, Bristol, Johnson City

I accept cash, personal check, or Paypal.  A personalized payment plan can be arranged.  Generally there is a $100 down payment made at contract signing.  This is basically a deposit to hold your date on my calendar.  Payment of 75% of the contract price is due one week before your wedding day.  The final payment of 25% of the contract price is due at the end of your wedding.

As will all other wedding vendors - word of mouth is your best bet.  Bridal shows and other vendors are also sources of coordinators and planners.  Call or email a prospective coordinator first to see if you like them before you waste time with a face-to-face meeting.

Things to consider in a good wedding coordinator...

Is the coordinator organized?

Do you feel comfortable with him/her?

Is he/she friendly?

Does the coordinator have references?

How long has the coordinator been in business?

Is the coordinator within your budget?

Is the coordinator computer literate?

Is the coordinator easy to get in touch with by telephone or email?

Is this the coordinator's full time occupation?

If you like the answers you get - that's great.  If you don't - go elsewhere.  Make appointments with at least 2 coordinators so that you know what is average for the business. ** Never choose the first vendor you meet - always compare!

The cost varies based upon number of guests, location, and season.  Coordinate-It day of planning starts at $500 and goes to $1500 for day-of coordination. The charge also includes free rental of a variety of wedding items that I have collected along the way.  You can view these items here.
