What are the duties of a wedding coordinator?
453501
A coordinator is someone who is hired to do everything the bride and groom are essentially supposed to do. The coordinator just takes the stress off the bride/groom by taking what the bride/groom wants, the budget she has, and making her wedding beautiful. \n\nThe coordinator is like a personal assistant to the bride/groom for the wedding.....GL;)

First of all, figure out something about who you are as a couple that you can use as a theme in your wedding – something you like to do, a place you love to go to, your first date… try to think of ways to bring that theme in, whether it’s setting up karaoke if you love that, or basing everying on Moulin Rouge.  There are other unusal things you can do, too.  One thing I’ve heard of is to have a photo booth brought in to your reception site – it can give you and/or your guests some fun mementoes.  One of my friends named her tables after different spots that held memories for her and her fiancé – at each table was a card with a picture of the place and a short story or explanation on the back.  With the right location, you can set your reception up so that it flows through different rooms – one room for appetizers and cocktails, done up all in blue, then the next room for the main meal, done all in white, then another room for dancing and cake, done all in pink; this can be done with different themes/colors/etc, or all the same theme.  You can set up a little “lounge” area, with couches and comfy chairs for people to hang out.  The website below has some other interesting ideas.  Good luck, and congratulations!

I'm not sure what to name your wedding planner services but a suggestion would be something that starts with an "A" or some numbers so that it is in the beginning of the section of weddding planners in your local telephone book so that people looking for such will call you before they call many others.  Example- A plan before you step wedding services.  I know that's corny but it's just an example LOL

you should start with an idea of how much you can spend\n\nstyle of wedding, then how many people you want there, dress, flowers, church/site for ceremony, licenses, reception rental, tips, food, drinks, permits, favours, invitations, etc\n\nthere are lots of things that need to be accounted for, you should check out some web sites to give you hints of all the things to budget for

Have as many family and friends help as possible.  \n\nYou could have somebody take pictures and just have a few professional taken.  Could even be after the wedding in a park or studio.  Or look in to a photography school or somebody looking for experience. Also applies for video.\n\nMake your own flower and centerpieces.  http://www.michaels.com/art/online/home has a great selection with ideas and step by step instructions.  $1-$2 fish bowls in the craft dept at walmart make great centerpieces.  You can even get them in color.  Fill them with water, colored water, floating candles, sand & shells, flowers.  \n\nCakes can be very easy to make.  Just make different size circles.  Layer them and add flowers to the top.\n\nYou don't need to hire a dj you can have premade cd's or somebody play them.\n\nThe stationary section in walmart has some really pretty invitations ready to print on the computer or if you are crafty do a search on the internet and get examples of premade ones and just make your own.\n\nWedding favors candy wrapped in tulle with a note tied to it..thanks for being a part of our sweet day.  You coudl make your own fortune cookies with and put whatever you want on the paper inside.\n\nDo searches on the internet. Usually you can make most things yourself.  Good luck and Congrats!  Hope some of this helps.\n\nhttp://www.cheap-chic-weddings.com/...\nThis site looked good for more information!

hey there. Ok your job is basically to be there for the groom.make sure he gets to the church ect. but its more than this, he will have so much on his mind so you take care of the small things like making sure he has the rings ect. yes you organise the bachlors heres a tip if you want to score big with them both, no strippers or wild parties. the bride and groom are going to be pretty stressed and this could add to the stress. maybe just a really cool guys night out, think about it do you usually have wild uncontrolled parties when you usually go out?as for the mc thing that you will have to ask him, some best men are the mc sometimes there is a mc appointed!good luck its a privelage and honour to be asked

A good starting place is picking the general location, like what country, or what city/state.  You'll want to look at the marriage requirements for the country or state to see what is involved.  Also, decide if the wedding is just the 2 of you or do you intend to invite family/friends.  And pick a date range.  \n\nOnce you have the general info, you can do web searches for good hotels, resorts, etc, that offer destination wedding packages.  Many resorts like Sandals, Beaches, and Palace will offer packages that include a free wedding.  But it can be easier to be married in the US sometimes.\n\nOnce you pick the location, they'll have a wedding coordinator or catering manager who will help you arrange other vendors like photographer, officiant, musicians, etc.\n\nCongrats and have fun planning!

Is it similar to a wedding ceremony? If so then just go by that. If it is different you could still use one of them. I think that is really nice.

Well, a wedding is a big thing, and takes a lot of organization.  I highly recommend using a wedding website to keep track of things – they usually have lots of resources, lists of things to do that can be checked off, and budgeting tools, both to help you set one up and also to keep track of how it’s going.  You can also buy wedding planning books.  If you want to find local vendors (photographers, florists, bakers, etc) I recommend going to a local bridal show if you can; this is a nice way to find a bunch of different people all at once.  Also, get your friends and family involved – there are often a lot of people who would love to be involved in your wedding, so take advantage of that and get them to help with making favors or addressing invitations and stuff, all those little things.  Keep in mind that there are quite a few things that make a big difference that you don’t want to completely forget (rings, dress, flowers, etc), but also don’t obsess over little details like some people do – it doesn’t make a huge difference whether the tablecloths are cream or beige, for example.  Do your research, because you can find some great deals, but it might take quite a bit of time and patience.  And don’t forget to look in non-wedding related places for things – being labeled “wedding” anything drives the price up.  For example, my flower girls’ dresses were purchased right after Easter, so they were on sale and they were adorable and about a quarter of the price of a typical flower girl dress.  Most of all, keep in mind what you want, be willing to compromise when you need to, and HAVE FUN! :o)

I am from Australia\nas this country is multi-cultural; then we do not really have any fixed customs as such.\nhowever -  some things that have usually been done here are:-\n the groom & his attendants are already in place with the celebrant when the bride enters the ceremony venue being escorted by her father. the bridal attendants would precede the bride down the aisle.\nthe couples families & other guests would then often place ""good luck charms"" ( horseshoes;hearts;shoes - made from ribbons/cardboard/crocheted; & attached to a ribbon) over the arm of the bride as she & the groom walked back down the aisle.\nas the emerged from the church - the assembled guest would throw confetti over the couple ( this has been replaced by flower petals/bird seed/bubbles)\nat thestart of the reception - all the guests are assembled at their tables & the couple "announced" as they enter the room\nat the end of the reception the guests would form an arch of linked hands for the couple to walk under & every one hugs/kisses them as they leave\nask how her parents conducted their wedding.\nif you have any "australiana stores in your area you may be able to purchase things that you could use a favours or decorations\nmany brides also use the verse \n"something old; 'something new; something borrowed ; something blue; & a sixpence in your shoe: \nwhen putting their outfits together- all the items are meant for good luck \n the something old can be a grandmothers brooch pinned on or into the dress; \nmail me if I can be of further help

www.theknot.com \n\nFirst make your guest list.  One for engagement party (if you're going to have one), one for wedding, one for reception. . . Then, trim it down.  Decide on a budget, then decide if you want to DIY (Do it yourself).  Pick everything from that budget:  The venues, caterers, rentals, dress, accomodations, florals, etc.  Decide on a date before you pick the above mentioned things.  It's easier to schedule a wedding that's at least a year away, because the dates you want are more likely to be open.  I could go on and on. . . just go to the theknot.com, maybe get a coordinator or some software.   You'll be fine, congratulations!!

List your priorities.  What is important to you about your wedding?  Be realistic as you make your list.\n\nGuest list is the hardest part of the wedding.  Lets look at something realistic.  Large family-little money.  Is the family itself large or is it cousins and aunts and uncles?  If it is extended family, then you have a choice.  You can have the small wedding you actually want and save money OR you can have a huge wedding with people you may love, but cant afford...and be paying off the wedding with interest for years.  I was in the same situation.  If my husband and I would have invited more than siblings, parents and grandparents we would have had over 300 people.  No way.  And picking and choosing the aunt that can come and the uncle who cant is a way to have a feud of epic proportions.  So...you need to make your choice.  \n\nOnce you know the side of it all you can go from there.  Dress?  I got my dress for $350.  See if you have a friend that can lend you a veil....that will save money.  A dress that is called a "wedding dress" is more than a nice ivory dress you like.  (generally)  Or tell your wedding dress person that you are on a budget and see what they have.  You wont be the first and you wont be the last to not want or be able to afford a $5000 dress for one day.\n\nPlace?  Esp for smaller weddings, a nice yard is perfect.  It allows people to be more relaxed and have a better time.  What about a campground?  Many have nice indoor/outdoor ampitheaters that also have a bit of shade.  Or a friend's cabin.  I found tent rental to be expensive for here, but price around.\n\nPhotographer?  Is there a college near you?  See if there are any classes for photography and see if the instructor or students are interested.  (make sure you see work first!)  Ask your officiant, they will know of good ones too.\n\nCake?  Culinary school near by?  Small mom & pop's place?  Safeway grocer?  Costco?  All will save.  I found cupcakes to be cheaper and more personal.  You can also have more flavours for people.  A cake stand can rent for $25 or you can buy cupcake trees.  (they can be pricey...see if a cake place can rent a tiered cake thing for less and do the cupcakes on it)\n\nTalk to your hubby to be and see if you can agree on cutbacks.  You dont want your wedding day to be full of dollar signs rather than love.\n\nGood luck.  :)

Basically,the hygiene coordinator is responsible for booking appointments for the hygienist and also doing recall which is calling patients that are due for their cleanings or sending them postcards.  They are also usually responsible for calling to confirm patient's appointments with the hygienist.
