CREATE THE DAY
(day-of-coordination service)
A day-of wedding coordinator is a person responsible for making sure your wedding day is executed perfectly. Our role includes overseeing vendors, managing the timeline, and overcoming any last-minute challenges that arise during the festivities. We are also the point person for vendors, so questions are diverted away from the happy couple and their families. Unlike the wedding planner who envisions and books the wedding, we make sure the already created plan is pulled off seamlessly in real-time. Our Create the Day service is essential for couples who have done most of the planning themselves and only require our help leading up to and on the day of their wedding to ensure their vision is executed as they want. A little more time allows us to understand the full scope of your wedding which helps us to properly layout and organize all of the details.
We do our Day-of Coordination a little differently, this service is more of a months of coordination rather than just the day-of. We jump in around the 3 month mark to not only help you organize your day-of but to also help tie up any loose ends while guiding you through the rest of your planning. we'll also provide you with a Planning Package full of helpful docs and unlimited email and phone support. All wedding coordination packages include the help of one lead planner and one events assistant on the day of the wedding.
Here’s how we’ll help you create your special day:
-
We'll start by having our preliminary download meeting upon booking. This meeting gives us an opportunity to get to know each other and review any questions you may have as well as pertinent details surrounding your wedding. (Usually booked within 2 weeks of confirming services. *Based on availability.)
-
At the 3 month mark we will have our official download meeting to see where you're at with your planning, what vendors you have booked and any logistics surrounding the ceremony and reception. At this point we will then start to reach out to your vendors to introduce ourselves and let them know that we are the Day of Coordinators who will be working with them to schedule the day.
-
At the 2 month mark we'll have our progress meeting to touch base and start to talk about the timeline for the day.
-
We will meet again about a month or so before your wedding to discuss the day of event details. At this meeting we will discuss what your day will look like and what you will require from us. For example, are we counting everyone down the aisle? Are there guest favours that you need us to put out? We will go over exactly what is expected from us on your wedding day and implement it into the day-of-event schedule (aka timeline).
-
Finally, we will have one more meeting anywhere within two weeks before the day-of to ensure we are all on the same page and have covered everything you need from us!

CREATE THE DESIGN
(decor design services)
As your wedding designer we will work with you to come up with a cohesive and unique vision for your wedding. This means not only working with you on the required decor rentals, but with all of the design vendors – florists, cake decorators, stationery, decor rentals and more. We will work with you to come up with an overall theme or style that will represent your wedding. This includes working with your budget, sourcing out the required items from various vendors (including you as part of the process, of course), and putting together price estimates. Our job is to bring your style vision together by working with you and all of your décor vendors, and then look after set-up and teardown on the wedding day itself.
​
It is important to note that our role is aesthetic based and does not include things like contract negotiations or attending appointments alongside the bride. Our specialty is design, consulting on everything from floor plans and lighting design to flowers, furniture and linens. We help with the decisions that will give your event a cohesive and stylish look.
​
As your Wedding Designer, we will:
-
​Create the wedding's design concept (submitted as a design proposal).
-
Create the color palette.
-
Oversee the decor budget and vendors (florist, rentals, lighting, stationery).
-
Source any specialty props and equipment that is needed.
-
Attend a site visit to visualize where you want everything to go, devise a layout, and identify potential problems.
-
Create a detailed floor plan and/or work with the venue to create the floor plan.
-
Ensure all of the decor elements are in place on-site at the wedding.
​
You'll want to hire a Wedding Designer if...
-
The decor is an important element of the wedding.
-
You're creative skills are lacking or you do not have the time to focus on this aspect of your wedding.
-
You're trying to pull off a specific theme or look or you have a ton of wedding style ideas that you can't narrow down.

-
Table-scapes and centrepieces
-
Invitations
-
Sweet tables
-
Ceremony space
-
Backdrops

We will plan, research, coordinate, and manage every aspect of the concept and design. We create a custom design package based on your vision, including the design elements. Once the design package is confirmed we will source the items needed to fulfill the design based on your budget. We will also set up the decor design with any elements provided by the client as well.
