Wedding Planner
A wedding planner usually helps the couple with everything from finding the venue and Celebrant, to getting quotes from other wedding suppliers and can help the couple make choices between suppliers. The Wedding planner can help with budgeting, doing things behind the scenes and putting things together. Basically, a Wedding Planner is similar to a wedding PA.
Wedding Stylist
A Wedding Stylist does all the pretty things! They are sometimes (usually) a florist as well, but basically makes sure that it all looks good on the day. Think of it as like a personal stylist for your wedding day. A wedding stylist will get all the flowers and décor looking amazing, creating a pleasing aesthetic on your wedding day!
Day of Coordinator Melbourne
On the day coordination – basically this person is an additional bridesmaid. They make sure that everything runs to time, and everyone and everything is where it’s supposed to be. A Day of Coordinator basically manages the day. All planning and booking etc is done before hand, but they’re there to run the actual event. Many Day of Coordinators include a personal meeting with the couple, face to face if possible, before the day. This is to make sure that they as the coordinator, are on the same page as everyone. They should know who all your suppliers are and are there to run the day to your timeline. Many of these types of Coordinators also do some MCing at weddings. It’s up to you the client to decide what level of service you need!
Price
Ah the wonderful price question… It is an important question indeed! What we can say is that a Day of Coordinator usually costs hundreds, while a Wedding Planner costs thousands. In terms of wedding styling services, we cant accurately guess a price for that. You would have to hit up a popular Wedding Hire/ Stylist service such as Weddings of Distinction and find out from them.
