Why Hiring an On-the-Day Coordinator for Your Wedding is a Game-Changer





Planning a wedding involves countless details and months of preparation, but when the big day finally arrives, you deserve to enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics. 


This is where an on-the-day coordinator comes in. An on the day coordinator is there to ensure your wedding day unfolds seamlessly. 


After working as a Celebrant for five years and helping hundreds of couples have a seamless ceremony I decided to expand my business to also offer On the Day Coordination services. 


Here’s a few reasons why I think hiring an on-the-day coordinator like me can be a game-changer for your wedding day. 


1. A Stress-Free Experience

Your wedding day should be a time of joy, not stress. As your on-the-day coordinator I take on the responsibility of managing the schedule, handling any last-minute issues, and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that I am overseeing the details and time of events allows you to focus on enjoying your day.

  • Problem-Solving: I am an expert in managing unexpected situations, from a late vendor to a sudden weather change, I will have found a solution to any issue that arises before you even knew there was a problem to deal with. This is where my ADHD becomes a super power and I thrive in the chaos of the moment!


2. Making sure everything goes to plan

Months of planning can fall apart without careful execution. As your on-the-day coordinator I ensure all your plans come to life as envisioned.

  • Timeline Management: I create and manage a detailed timeline, ensuring events like the ceremony, dinner, and speeches happen on time, regardless of any hiccups that might threaten the schedule.  

  • Vendor Coordination: I liaise with all your vendors to confirm arrival times, set-up details, and troubleshoot any issues, ensuring everything is in place as scheduled.



3. Support for you & your Wedding Party

Your bridal party and family members should be free to enjoy the day without being burdened with organisational tasks.

  • Delegation: I take over responsibilities that might otherwise fall on your loved ones, allowing them to relax and celebrate with you.

  • Guidance: I provide direction to the wedding party and guests throughout the day, ensuring everyone knows where they need to be and when.





4. Attention to Detail

I am meticulous at catching and correcting details that might otherwise be overlooked. ( This happens on the day because everything is happening so fast and I thrive in chaos )

On paper, i'll miss details constantly, sorry!


  • Set-Up Perfection: From ensuring the venue looks amazing to encouraging guests to sign the guest book, I handle all the little details and make sure everything you’ve planned goes off without a hitch. 

  • Guest Experience: I can focus on yours guests needs, such as directing them to their seats, gathering people up for photos, ensuring people know where to be and when, answering any questions. Your guests will all know who to report to if in need of assistance and feel confident that I will keep everything running smoothly. 


5. Handling the Unexpected

Even the best-planned weddings can encounter hiccups. On-the-day coordinators like me are skilled at handling unforeseen issues discreetly and efficiently.

  • Crisis Management: Whether it’s a missing boutonniere or a technical glitch with the sound system, I stay calm in a stressful situation and solve problems quickly and effectively.


6. Personalization and Custom Touches

I ensure that all the personal touches you’ve planned are executed perfectly, creating a wedding that truly reflects your personality and style.

  • Special Requests: Whether it’s a unique ceremony ritual, a surprise performance by singing waiters, or games to keep your guests entertained. I help bring your unique ideas to life.


7. Efficiency in Execution

The transition between different parts of the day—from ceremony to reception to send-off—should be smooth and efficient.

  • Pacing: I manage the flow of events, ensuring there are no awkward lulls or rushed moments.

  • Guest Management: I guide guests seamlessly from one location to another, ensuring everyone is where they need to be, including you and your partner. 


8. Maximizing Enjoyment

Ultimately, an on-the-day coordinator like me maximizes the enjoyment of your wedding day for you and your guests.

  • Freedom to Celebrate: Without the burden of logistics, you and your partner can be fully present and savour every moment of the day. 

  • Enhanced Guest Experience: I ensure your guests feel taken care of, and your suppliers feel looked after. 







Choosing me as an on-the-day coordinator can transform your wedding day from potentially stressful to utterly blissful. By handling the logistics, managing vendors, and ensuring every detail is perfect, Knowing I am there to manage everything means you are free to sit back, relax, and enjoy every moment of your big day stress free.


My On the day coordination services are available to be booked regardless of if you choose me to officiate your ceremony. I am happy to combine both services in one all you can ask for package.... or offer just OTDC and Host if you’d prefer a church or civil ceremony.
