Day of Coordinator
The Hidden Chateau & Gardens requires a
“day-of” coordinator to assure specific details on the wedding/reception
day, i.e. candle lighting, timing for meal, ceremony, etc. are handled. We
can recommend someone or you may choose your own. We strongly suggest it
is someone who is not part of the wedding party. Please provide us with
name and contact of coordinator. |
"I hired a wedding planner
to assist me with my personal wedding needs, and it's the best money I
spent! A week before my wedding everyone was telling me that I seemed so
calm for only being a week out from my big day; my response - 'that's
why I hired a wedding planner.'
Also, I'm in sales, and
time is money, so I couldn't afford the distractions of taking calls,
and lining up meetings related to our wedding. My wedding coordinator
did all of that for me, and this allowed me to continue to focus on my
job, and I hit my sales goals monthly! Had I not, this would have cost
me more than the fees for my wedding planner. Great investment, and
quite a relief on my nerves!"
