Day of Coordination

As your wedding planner, our goal is to handle all the details so you can relax and enjoy your day. Here’s a snapshot of what a typical wedding day in our world looks like:

Pre-Ceremony: We greet vendors, confirm timelines, check in with the bridal party, ensuring all personal items like the guest book, favors, and any other items are set out and organized at the reception, adjusting as needed for any last-minute changes or special requests.
Ceremony: We cue the bridal party, ensure the music is ready to set the mood for your grand entrance, assist with guest seating, direct the ceremony flow
Social Hour & Dinner: We transfer items from the ceremony to the reception, greet and help guests and ensure the bar is ready to serve drinks as guests arrive to social hour. We will usher guests to be seated for dinner and assist with cuing in your grand entrance. Once everyone is seated we will coordinate with your caterer to begin serving. Having a buffet for a meal, we will dismiss the tables.
Your Final Special Moments: Cueing speeches and cake cutting, arranging for golden hour photos, packing your cards and gifts safely away and making sure your first dances happen at the right moment

Saying Goodbye For The Night: We ensure all the vendors are paid/gratuities handed out, and any last minute items are packed up, while you enjoy the rest of your celebration.

Applause

Kayla and Valerie were amazing and fun to work with and helped to create my Disney inspired day on such short notice. I loved how they were able to bring everything together in such an elegant way. Not only were they able to create such beautiful displays, they helped keep everything flowing from one thing to another. They made my day magical!

Mikayla

I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for our wedding. Taylor and I had the most perfect day and that would not have been possible without your help and planning. The decorations looked absolutely AMAZING. Compass Occasions truly went above and beyond!
