Month-of Coordination

The Month-of Coordination package is for couples who have or will be doing the planning themselves, but would like a professional to act as your advocate on your big day. We take over where you left off in order for you to relax and enjoy the weeks leading up to the big day. Most importantly, your wedding day should be stress and worry free. Emerald Coast Events will handle all final vendor confirmations, as well as creating and executing a day-of timeline. 
 

  • Initial consultation session 

  • Unlimited phone calls and email communication

  • Provide spreadsheets for tracking the guest list, RSVPs, guest table assignments (and meal choices if applicable), shot list for the photographer, and a list of songs you wish the DJ to play or not play, etc.
