Day of Coordinator

Nola2014

We are having our wedding at the Benachi House in September and looking for someone to help with the day of coordination.  It should be a rather simple garden wedding with 125 guests. 

Can anyone recommend a coordinator for under $1000.  We are also willing to pay a little more if they do month of coordination as well!

 

Thank you!

We used Carolyn Arthur at All About Events, also at Benachi House. She was great and had several different packages available.

Erin England with "It's Your Time Events" was amazing…she did my sisters wedding for just the "day of" and now she  is helping with my wedding. She's really really good…She makes it all about you and will do whatever to not have you worry one day. For my sisters wedding…she was so attentive. 

It ended up being very cold the day of the wedding for some strange reason and she went out and bought 4 heaters! She's just on top of things and very affordable. She also has an assistant that helps her, I would highly recommend her! 

Her Day of coordination is 1,500$ (It's a little over your budget) but she's really good. 

That includes 2 visits prior to event, detailed time line, vendor coordination, and can also help give the tips to all the vendors incase its to hectic for you! 

For 500$ more she can do dinner rehearsal. 

Check her out!

Thank you. I just got off the phone with Caroline and she's very nice and informative but a little pricy for our budget. She is referring us to Rhoda Yawn who has done numerous events there and is at a lower price.

I would recommend figuring out exactly what you want and need from a coordinator and writing down the specifics.  I did most of the planning and the things a coordinator might normally do myself and we didn't really work with many vendors.  I sent a specific list or what I needed and didn't need to a coordinator and she gave me a contract for less than she typically does with her package deal. Of course if all hell breaks loose and she ends up having to do a lot more, then it will end up costing more, but I am very comfortable with that!
