Why a Wedding Coordinator?

Many times in this blog, on our Facebook Fan Page and on Twitter, I've mentioned reasons why I think it's important for couples to invest in a Wedding Coordinator. I'm your right-hand-gal on the most important day of your life. My team and I are there to keep you calm, make sure your vendors are on time and executing the appropriate services. We coordinate the dinner courses and speeches with your MC and Venue Coordinator, and we do a lot of the set-up and take-down. Knowing that you have a professional working for and with you is one of the best investments you can make on your wedding day. Be a Bride and not a Boss on your wedding day - the latter is my job.

So why and how did I become a Wedding Coordinator? It's not because I was married and planned my own wedding. Many Planners/Coordinators start their business after they have planned their own affair, and then think they can be professionals. Now don't get me wrong, some of them are professional and are very good, but just because they planned one wedding doesn't mean that they can or should do it for others.

I've always loved weddings. The idea of two people joining together for the rest of their lives and making that commitment in front of their loved ones is something that I think is romantic. The romance of weddings, the togetherness of family and the odd real-life fairytale is what keeps me believing in love....and enjoying my job.

Coordinating the wedding of Natalie & Jason - June 2012

It was in 2007 that I took a Wedding Planning course to test my waters of weddings. I'd always been into and involved with events, but never with weddings. I loved the course and carried on to get certified by the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada. Then I enrolled in a full-time one year post-grad Event Management program to hone my skills further.

The Bride's Butler was created in 2008 and I've executed over 22 weddings in the past 4 years. Coordinating weddings is my passion and I manage the business part-time as weddings are seasonal and typically happen on weekends.

To me, there is nothing better than two people in love. Being a part of my clients special day is an honour and I strive to make sure that their day is enjoyable and memorable. If you want a Coordinator to execute your plans and vision, then give us a call - I'd love to bring your plans to life and ensure that you're able to be yourself and a blushing Bride on your special day.
