Wedding planner or wedding coordinator, do you actually know the difference? A wedding planner is involved from the very beginning, helping with budgeting, vendor communication, and every detail leading up to the big day. A wedding coordinator typically steps in about a month before and focuses on making sure everything runs smoothly on the day itself, managing timelines, vendors, and keeping everyone exactly where they need to be. Both are valuable and if your budget allows, having both especially for a large or destination wedding is always the better choice.
