The main difference between a Site Coordinator and a Wedding Coordinator is while our main function is to ensure the event is running smoothly on our end, a wedding coordinator's main responsibility is the bride and the wedding party. They focus on the details such as putting out your favors, guest book, toasting glasses etc. as well as running the rehearsal and ceremony. They work closely with your vendors as well and also foresee problems before they arise.

Set up and Tear down of your event is included in our package. The only thing you are responsible for is decorations. Any décor that you bring in needs to be removed. Typically this is something your florist comes back to do.
