Need an extra hand with your event? Let our experienced staff of event planners, wedding planners, and day-of coordinators help you out.

A “Day-of” coordinator is for any event or brides and grooms who want to do most of the planning themselves, but when their day arrives they need a professional to execute all of their hard work.
