Venue coordinators manage the space: setup, breakdown, vendor access, and venue-specific logistics. I manage your event: directing the timeline, cueing vendors, making real-time decisions, and ensuring the experience unfolds the way you planned it. Think of them as the venue’s representative; I’m yours.
Perfect. That's exactly who I work with. You've done the creative work, picked the flowers, designed the timeline, chosen the menu. I step in to take ownership of the day so you can enjoy it instead of managing it from the sidelines.
Absolutely. I coordinate with your existing vendor team: photographers, florists, caterers, DJs, whoever you've hired. I just need their contact information and contracts so I can step in, centralize communication, and align logistics in the final weeks leading up to your wedding.
I’m onsite for up to 10 consecutive hours to oversee your full wedding day timeline — from final setup checks through ceremony, reception, and vendor departure.
Arrival and departure times depend on your specific timeline. For example, if your ceremony begins at 4pm, I typically arrive around 2pm for final setup oversight and stay through midnight to supervise vendor load-out. At full-service venues with dedicated staff, I may depart once structured programming concludes and vendor dismissal is confirmed.

Size doesn't change the need for coordination. Timelines still matter, vendors still need direction, and someone still has to handle the logistics so you're not managing your own ceremony. I work with weddings of all sizes; what matters isn’t the guest count, it’s that you want experienced oversight and confident direction on your day.
Some weddings benefit from an earlier start. Extended coordination is available on a case-by-case basis. Reach out and we’ll talk through what makes sense for your timeline.
Yes, I offer Wedding Weekend Event Coordination. These events can be added to an existing coordination service or booked as a standalone offering.
Let's find out. I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation (we can absolutely call it a vibe check) before we commit to anything.

I work best with couples who’ve done the planning, value clear communication, and trust their vendors to do what they do best. If you’re organized, decisive when it counts, and want a coordinator who’s proactive without being overbearing, we’re likely a great fit.

If I didn’t cover it here, let’s talk. Fill out the contact form or email me directly at hello@eventsbygiamarie.com and I’ll respond within 24 hours.
