I can honestly say I did not want to use a day-of wedding coordinator. I was the naïve bride that thought I would be able to organize everything so well that I wouldn't need someone to coordinate the big day....I could not be more wrong. I'm now so grateful that our venue required a day of coordinator because I never would have met Emma and her team at Glow Events.
Out of all of the vendors we selected for our wedding (and let me tell you, we had some fantastic vendors and people helping us on our big day) I think hiring Emma and Glow Events to be our day-of wedding coordinator was the best decision we made. My husband and I had the best experience working with Emma throughout the whole process. Although we contracted with Glow for day-of coordination, our contract included multiple meet ups and unlimited emails. I didn't realize how many questions I would have going through all of this and she was able to answer all of them. She also was able to recommend some of the other amazing groups we ended up working with. More importantly, Emma started to understand Chris and me as a couple and our vision for the wedding. She kept us on track and made sure we kept to our timeline.
At both the rehearsal and the wedding/reception she and her team were a perfect mixture of organized and flexible. They made sure people were where they needed to be, without being rude or threatening. I've heard horror stories about coordinators yelling at bridesmaids. She didn't yell but she was willing to be "the bad guy" so that I didn't have to be. I didn't have to worry about a thing! That day, Chris and I kept looking at each other and saying, "I didn't know I would have this much fun at our own wedding," and I think a large part that was due to the staff of Glow Events.
Bottom line, if you want to be able to enjoy your wedding and not stress out while planning it, get a great wedding coordinator and if you want the best wedding coordinator, go to Glow. You won't be sorry. read more
