wedding coordinators

I never thought I would ever have enough cash to pay for a wedding coordinator and I never ever thought I would have TWO!

A few months before the wedding a friend from my campus asked me how the details were coming with wedding planning. I told her some of the struggles and joys and she started telling me about her wedding planning aunt who arranged everything for her. All of the sudden she stopped and said "Wait, she also works in the bay area and she is wanting to do 6 free weddings to build up her resume--- I'm going to go call her!!!" She ran off and I stood in shock. A few days later Jackie called and offered her services for free. She said it would be her pleasure and honor to fly from Minnesota with her friend and husband to help with the wedding. She was incredible! Organized, kind, and so very lovely. She was the day of coordinator for the reception and I don't think I'll ever know just how much work she did and how much she saved the day!

Katie was wedding coordinator number two. She was beyond belief-- she ran the rehearsal, made special signs, decorated the heck out of the ceremony site and took care of ALL of the details. She is worth millions and without her I would have had a half-hearted hippy wedding in the woods. She made the ceremony flow without a hitch and she calmed my nerves with her humor and kindness. I can't wait to return the favor for her big day.
