Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a day-of wedding coordinator cost?
Day-of coordinators charge $1,500-$5,000 in most markets. Luxury coordinators in NYC or LA charge $3,500-$8,000. Fees typically include 2-3 planning meetings, timeline creation, and 8-12 hours of wedding day coverage.
What does a day-of coordinator do?
A day-of coordinator manages all vendor communications, ensures the timeline runs on schedule, handles setup and breakdown, coordinates guest flow, manages the ceremony processional, and solves last-minute issues.
Do I need a coordinator if my venue has one?
Yes. Venue coordinators work for the venue, not for you. An independent coordinator works exclusively in your interest, managing all external vendors and your personal timeline throughout the day.
When should I hire a day-of coordinator?
Hire your coordinator 4-6 months before the wedding to secure your date. Most begin active work 4-8 weeks prior, handling final vendor confirmations, building the timeline, and attending the rehearsal.
Does a day-of coordinator attend the rehearsal?
Most packages include rehearsal attendance. Expect to pay $250-$500 if not included. Rehearsal management is essential for directing the processional and familiarizing with the venue layout.
