Don’t worry; today we are here to tell you the difference between the responsibilities of a venue coordinator and a wedding planner. When you go for property visit, the venue in charge suggests you seek help of a Venue coordinator which many brides and grooms mistaken as a wedding planner.
Responsibilities of a Venue Coordinator –
A venue coordinator is basically the face of the Venue. They are there for the venue which is what they work for and represent. They will take of everything related to the Venue just at the time of functions or just the day of wedding to be specific. Be it the supply of tables, chairs, linens, hospitality for the guests, food (its quality, and timely service). Basically they will make sure all the commitments are met by the Venue that are stated in the contract. They make sure services provided by hotels are executed flawlessly. However, what they do not look after is minute by minute timeline of the wedding. Looking after the decoration does not fall under their jurisdiction. They will not look after needs of the bride and the groom at the time of wedding. And you can even expect them to leave once the food is served as their staff can look after the rest. And thus, the responsibilities of a Venue Coordinator end here.
Responsibilities of a Wedding Planner –
A wedding planner is the face behind the entire ideation, planning and execution of every minute details related to the wedding. They represent the bride and the groom. They are in contact with you since day 1 of the planning phase and are there until the next day of the wedding. A wedding planner coordinates with Venue coordinator to make sure promises are met. And they also coordinate with the rest of the vendors related to the wedding (tent, florists, artists, photographers, Sound, and light to name a few) and see the deadlines are met well before time without compromising on the output.
