You're getting married and you're not sure if you need a Wedding Planner or a Wedding Coordinator because you don't know the difference. Here is a little information about both to help you seperate the two.
A Wedding Planner is someone that assists you in planning your entire wedding. This service is typically called Full Wedding Planning. Planners keep you within budget, they source your vendors and they guide you every step of the way - and are also with you for your rehearsal and wedding day. Wedding Planners can be your negotiator, decision maker, therapist and friend. A Planner is typically booked 12-18 months before your set wedding date.
A Wedding Coordinator is someone that aids you near the end of your planning process. You've planned your wedding yourself but you want a professional to execute all of your hard work and plans so that they are just so. A Coordinator guides you with timeline preparation and logistics about 2 months before your big day and is typically with you for your rehearsal and about 10-12 hours on your wedding day. Most Coordinators are booked 6-12 months in advance, and the service is typically called Day of Coordination.
What about a Venue Coordinator? Refer to a previous blog post about the difference between them and a Wedding Coordinator here.
Hopefully knowing the difference between Planners and Coordinators will help you when searching for the right service for you for your wedding day.

Off Beat Brides
Dance to the sound of your own drum....that is the tune of Off Beat Bride - a website dedicated to unique, creative and sometimes outlandish weddings.
The website also features ideas for ceremony and reception themes - like Halloween, 1930's, rockstar, gothic and fantasy.
Check out the site...if there isn't anything on it that interests you and your style, you will at least have fun looking at some of the wild and kooky ideas of other real brides.
I always find something on this site that I like....check out the picture below. When Carolyn (the Bride) didn't know what to put on the back of her programs, she added different styles of mustaches. She says this way when she looked out into the crowd gathered to witness her vows she didn't imagine them all in her underwear to calm her nerves - instead they all had mustaches!! Creative, silly and unique!
Themed weddings have much more and often different elements than a "regular" wedding, so if you have the budget to hire a Planner, I recommend you do. It'd be a shame to have put so much time, effort, money and creativity into a themed wedding only for it to not all come together as planned.
Enjoy being offbeat, it is afterall Halloween!
Happy Halloween!
TRICK OR TREAT???
TREAT!!! When you book your 2010 Day of Coordination package with The Bride's Butler and you quote the word "mustache" in your inquiry email (when you ask us to help you cause you want a professional to assist you with your wedding) - we will knock $100 off the total price!!!
Now, that's a good treat if you ask me! :)
