Do you really need a Day of Coordinator?

If you’re in the middle of wedding planning, you’ve probably heard the term “Day-of Coordinator” and wondered… Is that really necessary? After all, you’ve already planned every detail. Your timeline is organized, your vendors are booked, and your friends and family are ready to help.

So why hire someone for just one day?

The truth is, a Day-of Coordinator can be the difference between you running your own wedding… and you actually enjoying it.

What Does a Day-of Coordinator Do?

Unlike a full-service wedding planner who helps from day one, a Day-of Coordinator steps in about 4–8 weeks before your wedding. Their job is to take all the work you’ve done and bring it to life, flawlessly.

They will:

• Review your timeline and make sure nothing is missing.

• Confirm details with all vendors so everyone’s on the same page.

• Run your rehearsal so your wedding party knows exactly where to be.

• Oversee set-up and décor so your vision comes to life.

• Manage the day-of schedule so events run smoothly and on time.

• Handle unexpected issues before you even know they exist.

Why Couples at Painted Lakes Ranch Love Having One

Here’s the thing — at Painted Lakes Ranch, we’ve seen it both ways. Couples who have a Day-of Coordinator tend to be more relaxed, more present, and more focused on the joy of the day. Without one, family members or friends often end up running around trying to coordinate details, which can be stressful for everyone.

When you choose to add our Day-of Coordination services, you get:

• A stress-free day with someone making sure everything is handled.

• Vendor management so deliveries, set-ups, and timelines happen like clockwork.

• Problem-solving on the spot — if the weather shifts, flowers arrive late, or the cake stand goes missing, we’ve got it covered.

• Peace of mind knowing someone’s there who knows the venue inside and out.

Think of It as Wedding Day Insurance

You’ve invested months of planning (and quite a bit of your budget) into your big day. A Day-of Coordinator protects that investment by making sure everything runs just as you imagined — without you lifting a finger.

If your goal is to actually enjoy your wedding — to sip champagne, laugh with friends, dance under the stars, and soak in the magic — a Day-of Coordinator is worth every penny.

At Painted Lakes Ranch, we offer Day-of Coordination services as an optional add-on to your wedding package.
