How does a Wedding Day Coordinator manage a Wedding Day in London?

Planning a wedding is an exciting experience, but at times can be overwhelming. For couples having their wedding in London, hiring a professional wedding planner, even near the end of planning, can make all the difference. At Your Story Events, we specialise in coordinating unforgettable wedding days that reflect your unique love story. Here’s how a London wedding coordinator like us ensures everything runs smoothly on your special day.

1. Pre-Wedding Preparation

Before the big day, a London wedding coordinator will work closely with you to understand your vision and preferences. This includes:

• Consultation: Discussing your wedding plans to date and offering guidance and advise as needed.

• Supplier Coordination: Liaising with your all of your suppliers, checking on a arrival and set up times.

• Venue visit: Doing a site visit at your venue, this allows us to foresee any problems that may arise.

• Timeline Creation: Developing a detailed schedule for the day to ensure everything flows seamlessly and sharing with all your suppliers.

2. Wedding Day Management

On the wedding day, the venue is often a hub of activity. At Your Story events we will:

• Oversee Setup: Arrive early to ensure that the ceremony and reception areas are set up according to your specifications and vision.

• Supplier Liaison: Act as the main point of contact for all suppliers, ensuring they are on schedule and have everything they need.

• Problem Solving: Handle any unexpected issues that may arise, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the day without stress.

  
  

3. Ceremony Coordination

The ceremony is a pivotal moment in your wedding day. A wedding day manager will:

• Guide the Processional: Ensure that the wedding party enters at the right time and in the correct order, coordinating with musicians as needed.

• Manage Guests: Help guests find their seats and ensure everyone is ready for the ceremony to begin.

• Coordinate with Officiants: Work closely with the officiant to ensure that all elements of the ceremony are seamless.

• Wedding Reception Transfer: Ensuring the smooth transition of guests to the next venue if needed. That might be walking, all boarding a red London routemaster bus or black cabs.

4. Reception Management

After the ceremony, the reception is where the celebration truly begins. Your wedding day coordinator will:

• Welcome Guests: Greeting guests and directing them to the right location as they arrive.

• Schedule Events: Coordinate speeches, cake cut, and the first dance, keeping the day to evening on track.

• Liaise with Catering: Work with the catering team to ensure that guests are seated and therefore meals are served on time

  
  

5. End of the Evening

If you choose to have your Wedding Coordinator stay until the end of the evening, it can be particularly helpful in venues where you are not staying and need to be cleared that night.

• Pack Down: Helping pack down the evening ensuring suppliers are all out on time.

• Send Off and Carriages: Ensuring you are safely on your way after the best day, and if group transportation is arrange for guests we can handle that.

• Gifts: Ensuring gifts and cards have been left with a trusted person, a family member of friend.
