Managing Expectations

Let's consider this post a little pep talk....or free advice per say.

Your Day of Coordinator can only be as organized as you are. Plain and simple.
It's our job on your wedding day to assist with tasks that you are physically unable to do yourself. For example; set up your reception area with your centrepieces, favours, escort cards, etc. Not only do we do the so-called 'grunt' work for you, but we also do our best to keep every one and every thing on time.


It's our job to reduce your workload and amount of stress. Now, let me reinstate what I've already said...we can only be as organized as you are. We'll provide you with useful documents like a timeline and vendor information sheets to guide you, but ultimately if you're not organized, we won't be either.


The best weddings we've executed Day of Coordination services for are the ones that the Bride has checklists, pictures and instructions for set-up and decor, labeled containers/boxes with all the little details and copies of all vendor contracts. With these items we are able to bring your vision to life, without them we're walking into your event blind.


Upon booking Day of Coordination with The Bride's Butler, we give you tools to help you be organized, and we offer continuous support via email or phone two months prior to your big day. Use this time to ask any last minute questions, air your concerns about a specific vendor and fill us in on family or guest drama (cause no matter what, there's always a little of that). When we meet for our final meeting prior to your big day, typically 1 week before, have all your information ready. We'll remind you of what items we'll need just so you don't feel overwhelmed or lost. Having a floor plan and all of your check lists handy for this final meeting helps us in getting your big picture plan.


I always tell my clients, there is no such thing as too much information. Saturate us with it - I want to be able to see the dream wedding you've been planning these past 12-18 months in my mind.


Day of Coordination services are for the Bride that plans her own wedding, chooses and secures her own vendors, and   knows what she wants. This package is perfect for Brides that want to be able to step away from delegation and the so-called Bridezilla role and simply enjoy her day with her new hubby, friends and family.


Having a Day of Coordinator on site is something you won't regret, when done right. Ask any vendor who's worked with us, or previous clients and they'll agree. If you're organized, you'll get the wedding you always wanted.


Happy planning!

Gearing up for Wedding Season!

We're so thrilled to be working alongside many wonderful couples this year, and assisting them with both Full Planning and Day of Coordination Services.

With permission from my clients, I'll do my best to feature their special days on the blog to share with you.
I can't wait to see all of their ideas come to life!

We kick off the season with Angie & Serge on May 26th, and continue through until September 29th with Brooke & Richard.

If you want to book with us, we're offering $200 off remaining dates in May & June.

We won!

The Bride's Butler has won 1st Place (Diamond Award) for the Hamilton Readers Choice Awards!

I was so excited, and a tad shocked to have been nominated, but to win, wow! I'm beyond happy and proud of how far my little business that could has come.

Thank you to everyone that voted, to past clients that have trusted me to assist them on the most important day of their lives and to my present clients that have invited me to take part in their day this year.

The Bride's Butler is heading towards it's 4th year of assisting, coordinating and loving all things weddings!
Thank you for your continued support and business!
