Frequently Asked Questions
Doesn't my venue coordinator help me with these items?
Typically, no. A venue coordinator's role is typically restricted to facilities management. We encourage all couples to get super clear about what a venue coordinator will and will not do on your wedding day. Our experience is that couples often overestimate what is included and find themselves unsupported on the wedding day.
Doesn't my day-of coordinator help me with these items?
It depends! Some day-of coordination packages offer more support than others. We often find that couples who appreciate the Tapestry approach to wedding planning have a lot more to communicate than the average day-of coordination package captures. You can use this guide in conjunction with day-of coordination support services to help transition all the hard work you've put into your wedding into the hands of your hired help.
Does this guide substitute fully for a day-of coordination service?
No. We will be the first to tell you that nothing substitutes for having an experienced, capable person on site to run your wedding day, especially not a PDF. But what this product can do is help set up an experienced coordinator or loved one to take on the lead role, as well as set up your vendor team and other helping hands to support you in a thoughtful, cohesive manner on your wedding day.
