• wedding coordinators have experience and knowledge to help you create a vision

• coordinators have experience in creating a vision

• coordinators have experience in helping you create a vision

If you have a vision of what your dream wedding will be, the wedding coordinator can help you make that vision a reality. This person knows how to read between the lines so they can make sure all of the little details are perfect on your day.

2. Wedding Coordinators can put together a wedding planning timeline, helping you stay on track with all of your wedding to-dos.

• planning a timeline

• timeline is a guide, not a rule

• timeline is a way to keep track of tasks and deadlines

• timeline is a way to keep everyone on the same page

• timeline helps you avoid forgetting things

A wedding planning timeline is a tool that can help you stay on track with all of your wedding to-dos. It's a guide, not a rule. At C&R Events we will work with you to create one, and it can be adjusted as needed throughout the planning process. The timeline should be a way to keep track of tasks and deadlines, as well as keep everyone involved in the planning process informed about what's going on at any given time. It will also help you avoid forgetting things—like that it's actually one of your future bridesmaid's birthday tomorrow!

• coordinators know the best vendors in your area

• coordinators can give you a list of preferred vendors

• coordinators can help you find the best value for your money

• coordinators can help you find vendors that offer a wide range of services

Wedding Coordinators know the best vendors in your area. They can give you a list of preferred vendors, or they can even help you find them on your own. They will make sure that each vendor has what it takes to deliver quality work, and that each service fits into your budget.

A coordinator will help you choose the right vendors for each part of your wedding day: ceremony decorators and florists, reception venue managers and caterers, entertainment options like DJs or bands—the possibilities are endless! Wedding coordinators can help you find the best value for your money by leveraging their relationships with local businesses to offer discounts on services like cake tastings and photography shoots. An experienced wedding coordinator like Stefanie Craig can also make sure that all of these services are available at one place so there’s no need for multiple appointments on different days (and no double-booking).

4. Wedding coordinators can save you money. They know how to get the best products and services for the best price, and they have built relationships with vendors that might not be available to the average couple.

• coordinators can negotiate with vendors

• coordinators can find the best deals

• coordinators have built relationships with vendors

• coordinators know who's who in the industry

• coordinators have knowledge of what is affordable and what isn't

Wedding coordinators can save you money. They know how to get the best products and services for the best price, and they have built relationships with vendors that might not be available to the average couple.

For example, if a vendor is charging $100 per hour but it only takes them 30 minutes to set up your lighting, then they are over-charging you by $70 per hour! A wedding coordinator will negotiate with this vendor so that he or she charges an appropriate amount of money for their services.

Wedding coordinators also know what things cost in your area since they live there. For example, if a Chicago venue charges $50/person for food service but an LA venue charges $40/person for food service, this means that even though both venues are using high quality ingredients from local farms (and therefore should be similar), Chicago's venue is actually more expensive because it costs more money to live here than it does in LA due to higher taxes and wages here in Illinois compared with California which has lower taxes on businesses and less stringent labor laws dictating minimum wage requirements (so businesses have more flexibility when hiring workers). This may be an extreme example but it is true to various degrees.

Wedding coordinators are there to take the stress out of planning, so that you can enjoy the process. By working with a wedding coordinator like Stefanie, you get one point person who understands all your needs and will ensure that everything comes together in a timely fashion. A professional wedding planner will be able to help you find vendors that fit your style and budget, but they'll also be able to handle all the details on the day of so that you don't have to worry about a single thing.

For example, let's say your dream is for a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by an elegant reception at an art museum with cocktails downstairs and dinner up on the rooftop terrace. This sounds amazing! But now imagine that split second when someone says "Hey! Let's get married!" And then another person says "Oh wait...we should do it outdoors." And then someone else says "I've always wanted my wedding reception at an art gallery." Suddenly all these people are talking over each other while they scramble around looking for inspiration pictures online or trying out different ideas in mind mapping software (which is basically like creative brainstorming). It's chaos!

Wedding coordinators can help you deal with family members who may be stressed out about the wedding (even though it's not their own), which will give you a chance to be calm and collected in return. They can also step in if anything goes wrong during the ceremony or reception, so all eyes will be on you and your groom—not whatever crisis is happening off stage!
