Wedding Coordinators & Rehearsals

...why you need both

A wedding ceremony is like opening night in a Broadway play, except that you don’t get to do it over the next night. If all the players (bride, groom, attendants, parents, etc.) are rehearsed, then the grand performance goes off smoothly. Five minutes before wedding ceremony isn’t the time to start thinking about who lines up where and what order, and so on.

Your minister and the wedding coordinator almost certainly have more wedding experience than any one else associated with your wedding. Take advantage of that experience. If you—the bride—stress over every single little detail, the result is that at the end of the day on wedding day, you’re still married, you just didn’t have any fun. Your wedding should be fun.

The DFW area has many fine venues and many independent wedding planners, some of whom are dedicated to their profession to the extent that they attend classes and seek certification in their craft from national associations of wedding professionals.

My advice to you, the bride: let as many other people as possible handle details, especially during wedding week. It’ll make your wedding day stress free, and FUN!
