1. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEDDING PLANNER, A DAY-OF COORDINATOR, AND AN EVENT DESIGNER?

 

This is an awesome question because the nuances of each can definitely be ambiguous. To top it off, these three positions can be held by 3 different people or 1 person can wear all these hats (as is the case with us) so it can get a bit confusing. Here's a breakdown of the job responsibilities of each with respect to your wedding or event.

 

      EVENT DESIGNER - someone who focuses on the aesthetics of an event and creating a beautiful and cohesive event with lighting, flowers, rentals, and other decor elements

 

      DAY OF COORDINATOR - someone who steps in about a month before your wedding to gather details and  to coordinate vendors, set up and breakdown your decor, and troubleshoot any issues that may arise on the day of your wedding.

 

      WEDDING PLANNER - someone who is instrumental in the long term planning of a wedding or event, assisting with vendors, timelines, budgeting, and much much more.

 

At Creative Eventology, we can take care of all of these things for you; however, it's important to note that you can just use us for design services, or just day of coordination services as well. At your consultation, we'll help you figure out exaclty what services you're interested in to make the process as simple as possible!

 

 

 

2. HOW DO I GET STARTED AND HOW DOES ALL THIS WORK?

 

The best way to get started is always to give us a call or shoot us an email to set up a complimentary consultation. Consultations are always casual, no-pressure, and we make sure they're conveniently located for you. At your consulation, we will sit down, get to know each other, and chat about all the details of your event. From there we will send you over a custom proposal and a contract for you to peruse. Once you're ready to book, we'll send you over all the info you need to get the logistics taken care of so we can get going on creating the perfect event for you and your mate.

 

 

 

3. HOW MUCH IS EVERYTHING?!

 

Because more often than not we create custom packages for each of our clients, it's hard to give generic pricing. You can find starting prices for our planning services under the 'Details' tab, but most other packages (including design and styling services) require a consultation so we can learn a bit more about what you're looking for. We don't want you to pay for anything you don't need, so 1-2 days after our consultation we'll get you over a custom proposal with pricing information. If you have a particular budget in mind, we'd love to do everything we can to work with you and stretch it as far as it can go! Get in touch to schedule your complimentary consultation!

 

 

 

4. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEDDING PLANNER & A VENUE COORDINATOR?

 

This is a question we get all the time. Most venues have an employee they designate as a day of coordinator, but what they do is actually quite different from the day of coordination services provided by an event planning team. For a list of some of the most important differences, check out our Wedding Planner vs.Venue Coordinator document. Though we have different priorites and jobs on the day of your wedding, we always love partnering with venue coordinators because they know their venues inside and out and help us to ensure your day runs flawlessly.
