The Little Things I Do as a Wedding Coordinator to Make Your Day Magical.
When most couples think of hiring a wedding coordinator, they imagine help with the big-picture tasks—managing the timeline, keeping vendors on track, and ensuring the ceremony starts smoothly.
But what many don’t realize is that some of the most magical parts of my job happen in the smallest moments. As a wedding coordinator based in the Raleigh-Durham area, I take pride in going beyond logistics to make sure your wedding day feels seamless, personal, and full of joy.
Here’s a peek at the little ways I help make your day extra special:
1. Schedule & Protect Your Alone Time
Your wedding day flies by in a whirlwind of hugs, toasts, and photos. I make it a priority to build in intentional, quiet moments for you and your partner to pause, connect, and soak it all in—whether it’s a private first look or a few minutes after the ceremony before joining cocktail hour.
2. Carry an Emergency Kit—Just In Case
From forgotten safety pins to last-minute makeup touch-ups, my wedding emergency kit is always nearby. I’m prepared with everything from stain remover and sewing kits to breath mints, tissues, and extra bobby pins—so no matter what pops up, I’ve got you covered.
3. Fluff Your Dress & Fix Your Veil
I’m right by your side to make sure your dress and veil are perfectly arranged—whether it’s before your walk down the aisle, during portraits, or before your grand entrance. You can focus on feeling radiant while I handle the details.
4. Bring You Drinks & Snacks When You Need Them Most
Wedding days are busy, and it’s easy to forget to eat or hydrate. Before the celebration begins, I make sure I know your drink and snack preferences. Whether it’s a plate of passed apps while you’re signing the marriage license or your signature cocktail before the bar gets busy, I’ll bring it right to you—no waiting, no missing out.
5. Do a Final Walkthrough of Your Reception Space
Before guests enter your reception, I always do a final walkthrough to make sure every place setting is just right, candles are lit, décor is placed properly, and the space looks exactly how you envisioned it. This ensures your reception feels polished and photo-ready.
6. Make Sure You Have a Knife for the Cake Cutting
You’d be surprised how often this detail is overlooked! I always double-check that your cake knife is ready before the cake cutting moment—because no one wants to pause the celebration to hunt for utensils.
7. Pack Up Your Keepsakes at the End of the Night
At the end of the night, you shouldn’t be gathering decorations or searching for your guest book. I’ll pack up your keepsakes—like your cake topper, bouquet, photo frames, or signage—so everything makes it safely back to you.
It’s the Little Things That Make the Biggest Difference
My goal as your wedding coordinator isn’t just to keep things on schedule—it’s to create a wedding day where you feel fully present, cared for, and stress-free. These little touches may seem small, but together they create the calm, joyful atmosphere every couple deserves.
