All of the time that I have been planning my wedding I have been counting on some family and friends to help with set up/take down. Our venue includes the basic set up (tables, chairs, linens, place settings, and even the hurricanes and candles in the centerpieces) but there are some other touches that I want to add. I figured everyone would be able to handle it if I left clear instructions, plus my MOH would also have time when I am doing my first look to double check that everything is right since she is planning with me.
Fast forward to now and I have two meetings scheduled to meet with day of coordinators.
There is a sales manager at the venue but she says that she doesn't help with anything on the day of. I also kinda can't stand her. They fired and hired a new lady after we signed the contract and we weren't even notified which left a sour taste in my mouth. I don't want to have to count on her for anything.
Does anyone else have experience with day of coordinators, were they worth it? Thankfully both of our parents have been beyond generous and money is so much better than I ever thought, so we can afford it, it's just a matter of me being okay spending the money.
I'd love some wise words or tips for interviews too, is there anything I need to look for in someone besides just our personalities meshing and them being well organized?
Linking up, happy Wedding Wednesday!
