Hiring a Wedding Planner for your Week Of is the perfect solution for the bride who has been planning her wedding on her own, and really needs to hand over the reins to a professional to handle the week of such a special event. Often in my profession, I meet couples that are looking for a Day Of, or Week Of Wedding Planner. They have already made most of the important decisions, as well as most of the planning for their wedding day, but they find themselves needing help when it comes to the execution of all of that hard work.

With all of the hard work that couples have put into planning their wedding, they will need a professional to execute their ideas. Professionals with experience in running events will take into account many aspects that can be simply forgotten or overlooked. It’s easy to lose track of small details, and finding a Day Of/Week Of Wedding Planner can make all the difference.

A Wedding Planner will look over paperwork to make sure that you have everything you need for the wedding day, and will make sure that all of your arrangements run according to plan. In fact, in most cases, venues, vendors, photographers and dining establishments will require a professional for the Week Of events. This is a common occurrence in Park City, but is very common when it comes to Destination Weddings.

One aspect that often gets overlooked is that couples may think certain details may already be accounted for or included in their plans, but sometimes they are incorrect. A professional will easily manage these misconceptions and remedy them before they become a issue.

Another factor that couples may forget is that having a timeline is a must, and a professional will make this a stressless endeavor. A timeline is an itinerary that all of the professionals will be following on the wedding day. There are a lot of logistics that go into the wedding day itself, and couples can overlook details that are crucial that will make the day a success. Every couple wants things to go smoothly, and it is important to have a professional to execute each aspect properly.

For example, as a Wedding Planner that specializes in Destination Weddings, I have a package that includes the following for Day Of/Week Of clients:

  • Marriage license information 
  • Receive and set-up all personal items for ceremony and reception (guest book, toasting flutes, menus, place cards, favors, cake and knife serving set)
  • Personal assistance wedding day kit “Emergency Kit”
  • Coordination of your ceremony rehearsal on the eve of your wedding 
  • Coordination of bridal party breakfast/lunch on wedding day delivered to your suite 
  • Cue your ceremony on your wedding day 
  • Execute cocktail hour and reception according to time-line
  • Seating chart and floor plan design
  • One hour site inspections of venue
  • Construction of personalized event day time-line
  • Distribution of personalized event day time-line to all vendors
  • Confirm each vendor and their time-line
  • Relay final head count and confirm floor plan
  • Two Shellie Ferrer Events coordinators on your event day-Shellie Ferrer is NOT one of them
  • Unlimited hours of event day coordination and set-up
  • Manage and coordinate vendor arrivals and set-up
  • Distribute your final payments and gratuities to vendors on your behalf
  • Post reception strike and cleaning
  • Deliver gifts and personal items to designated area after event
