Wedding Planner vs Coordinator

There’s no doubt that Wedding Planners and Coordinators work hard to ensure your big day turns out to be the best it can be. The right professional looking after your day makes all the difference.

When it comes to finding an industry expert to hire for your wedding day, the terminology can be confusing. “Wedding Coordinator” and “Wedding Planner” often get used interchangeably, they are different though. And it’s important to know the differences so you know who to hire and what to expect.
