How to know that full service planning or coordination is right for you!

If you just got engaged and thinking about your wedding vendors, hiring a planner or coordinator is absolutely worth it! 👇🏻⁣

⁣

📋 A full service planner is operating as both which is an incredible luxury service. ⁣

⁣

A planner is taking over the responsibility of fully planning your special day and even sometimes the weekend. As a planner and designer of events and weddings, I always forget that some people don’t like to do this type of work. This service is perfect for those couples who know their vision but don’t want to execute it themselves. ⁣

𝗔 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀: ⁣

I want to start by saying at smneevents, we operate from a wedding professional background and not just someone who comes in to be a help to you. There is such a misconception around coordinators these days. Coordination still requires knowledge of the wedding industry to help manage the day and solve problems that arrive. ⁣

⁣

As coordinators, we don’t plan the day for you. We help take your wedding details and organize it and execute it with at least a month out from the wedding. I still do site visits, host meetings with the couple, and go over details with ample time to feel prepared. ⁣

If you want something in the middle, we and most companies offer partial planning!
