Your Plans. Perfectly Executed.

Day-Of Wedding Coordination

You've put your heart into planning this wedding. Now let Wendi take the reins — so you can stop managing and start celebrating, fully present in every single moment that matters.

More Than Just "Showing Up on the Day"

"The best gift you can give yourself on your wedding day is the freedom to actually enjoy it."

Day-of coordination is one of the most misunderstood services in the wedding industry. The name implies Wendi simply shows up the morning of your wedding — but that's not how she works. True coordination begins 4 to 6 weeks before your wedding date, giving Wendi time to genuinely learn your vision, confirm every vendor, and build the kind of detailed master timeline that makes execution look effortless.

By the time your wedding day arrives, Wendi knows your wedding as well as you do. She is the single point of contact for every vendor, every family member with a question, and every timeline adjustment. You and your partner exist purely as guests at your own celebration.

This service is perfect for self-directed couples who have enjoyed the planning process and have their details largely organized — but who are wise enough to know that execution on the actual day requires a dedicated professional.

What Day-Of Coordination Covers

Wendi's day-of coordination is comprehensive — not a light-touch service. Here's everything included from the moment you book.

Vendor Handoff & Confirmation

4–6 weeks before your wedding, Wendi contacts every vendor on your list — confirming details, arrival times, and logistics. Nothing gets missed, nothing falls through the cracks.

Master Timeline Creation

Wendi builds a comprehensive, minute-by-minute wedding day timeline — shared with every vendor and key family member — that accounts for every moving part of your celebration.

Detail Review & Gap Analysis

Wendi reviews all of your planning documents and contracts to identify any gaps, unclear logistics, or missing details that could create problems on your wedding day.

Rehearsal Direction

Wendi runs your rehearsal the evening before your wedding — directing the processional, positioning, and ceremony flow so everyone arrives on the day knowing exactly what to do.

Day-Of Setup Oversight

Wendi arrives early to oversee venue setup and vendor arrivals — ensuring every floral arrangement, table setting, and detail is exactly as planned before your guests arrive.

Full Ceremony Management

Wendi cues every element of your ceremony — processional timing, music, readings, ring exchange, and recessional — so the whole thing flows beautifully without a single awkward pause.

Reception Coordination

From the grand entrance to the last song, Wendi manages the entire reception flow — coordinating with your DJ or band, caterer, and photographer to keep every moment on time and on point.

Problem-Solving Behind the Scenes

When challenges arise — a late vendor, a wardrobe emergency, a timing adjustment — Wendi resolves them quietly and immediately. You never need to know most of what she handles.

End-of-Night Breakdown

Wendi coordinates the end-of-night breakdown — overseeing vendor departure, gift collection, and ensuring all personal items are accounted for before you ride off into the night.

Your Day-Of Coordination Timeline

Wendi's involvement begins well before your wedding day to ensure everything runs perfectly when it counts.

You Book & Plan

After booking, you continue planning your wedding your way. Wendi is available for questions and check-ins, but the planning is yours to lead and enjoy.

Master Timeline Built
