Honestly, it’s one of those things couples don’t always realise they need… until they do. And then afterwards, it’s the thing they say they couldn’t have done without. Seriously, ask anyone who’s been there, they’ll probably tell you it’s worth every penny and then some.

Hiring a wedding coordinator isn’t about going over the top or handing over control. It’s about feeling supported, looked after, and actually being able to enjoy your wedding. Properly. From the planning right through to the last dance.

“they were absolutely brilliant… Hannah and Chloe went above and beyond to make sure we were as comfortable and happy as possible”

What’s the difference between a wedding planner and a coordinator?

A wedding planner and a wedding coordinator play very different roles, and understanding the difference can really help when deciding what support you need.

A wedding planner is involved from the very beginning, guiding you through the entire planning journey. They help shape your vision, manage your budget, source and liaise with your suppliers, and support you with decisions along the way.

A wedding coordinator steps in much closer to the wedding day, usually around one month beforehand. Their focus is on taking everything you’ve planned and making sure it runs exactly as it should. They manage the timings, liaise with and greet suppliers, oversee the day’s logistics, and handle anything that pops up on the day, so you’re not answering questions or problem-solving while you should be enjoying every moment.

Planning a wedding is exciting… but it can also feel like a lot

Like, a lot, a lot! Let’s be honest, wedding planning can quite literally take over your life. One minute you’re buzzing about colour schemes, favours, and ceremony ideas, and the next you’re juggling emails, contracts, timings, and a never-ending to-do list. Cue panic!

A wedding coordinator helps bring it all back to calm. We help you organise your plans in a way that feels manageable, not overwhelming. You still make all the decisions, still choose everything you love, but you’re not doing it alone. There’s someone there to support you, keep you on track, and gently remind you it’s all going to be okay.

Your wedding day should feel calm, not rushed

One of the biggest worries couples share is that the day will fly by, or that they’ll feel stressed and pulled in a million directions, answering calls, sorting last-minute things, or even getting ready in a whirl of chaos. And it’s a totally valid worry.

With a wedding coordinator, you don’t need to watch the clock, think about what’s next, or dash around trying to make everything happen yourself. We’re quietly running the day in the background, making sure it all flows naturally. If something needs tweaking, we handle it. If someone has a question, they come to us.

You get to stay exactly where you should be, present, relaxed, and soaking up every moment. And honestly? That feeling alone is worth every penny.

Your friends and family get to relax too

We hear it all the time: “Oh my mum is going to do that,” or “My bridesmaids will handle this.” And while it’s offered with the best intentions, it often leaves your loved ones juggling jobs instead of actually enjoying the day. Even the most reliable people can find it tricky once the excitement and emotion really kick in.

With a coordinator, your family and friends can just be themselves. Your mum isn’t worrying about timings, your best friend isn’t fielding questions, and no one is scrambling to fix last-minute hiccups. Everyone gets to celebrate with you, exactly as it should be.

We’re thinking about the things you don’t even see

Weddings rarely run exactly to plan, and that’s completely normal. The difference is having someone who knows how to deal with it calmly and quietly. A wedding coordinator is always thinking a few steps ahead. If something needs adjusting, we do it without fuss. Most of the time, couples don’t even notice anything needed sorting, and honestly, that’s the goal. You stay relaxed, your guests stay happy, and the day keeps flowing. (Pro tip: this is the stuff that makes your wedding actually feel effortless in photos and memories.)

Your ideas deserve to be brought to life properly

You’ve spent so much time imagining how your wedding will look and feel, not just the pretty details, but the atmosphere, the timing, and those little moments you’ve been dreaming about.

A coordinator makes sure your plans are understood and carried out exactly as you hoped. Everyone involved knows what’s happening and when, so your vision doesn’t get lost. It’s not about taking over, it’s about protecting what matters to you.

The final weeks feel so much easier

Having a wedding coordinator during this time is such a relief. You know someone experienced has looked over everything, and nothing important has been missed. You’re not second-guessing yourself or lying awake at night worrying. Instead, you can start getting excited, which is exactly how it should feel.

“We worked with Chloe for day of coordination who was the best decision we made for our wedding.”

How much does a wedding coordinator cost?

Having a wedding coordinator is an investment in how your day feels. When couples look back on their wedding, they rarely remember every tiny detail. They remember how they felt, calm, happy, excited, and fully present. A wedding coordinator protects that feeling.

We take care of the logistics so you can focus on the moments that matter, the hugs, the laughs, the happy tears, and the celebration. That’s why so many couples say it was the best investment they made.

For most weddings with us, on the day coordination usually sits between £1,750 and £2,500. In the context of an overall wedding budget, it’s a relatively small part, but the impact is felt throughout the entire day. It’s not just about someone running the schedule, it’s about having the space to enjoy your wedding without worrying about what’s happening next.

Because you only get to experience it once. Your wedding day isn’t a practice run. You don’t get a do-over. It deserves your full attention, not your stress.

Having a wedding coordinator means you can let go, trust the plan, and truly enjoy your day. You can be present, knowing someone is taking care of everything behind the scenes. And that, more than anything else, is what makes it all so special.

What is the role of a wedding coordinator?

We manage the logistics and the details behind the scenes. We make sure the day runs smoothly, acting as the main point of contact for your suppliers and ensuring everything runs to schedule. A wedding coordinator also helps pre-empt the little things that can happen on the day, often before you even realise there was ever a potential hiccup. Most couples only plan one wedding in their lifetime, so everything is new. Even if you’re an event planner or project manager in everyday life, weddings are a whole different world.

Managing weddings is what we do day in, day out. It’s in our DNA. We know where things can wobble, what questions might pop up, and what needs thinking about in advance. So rather than risking it or trying to handle it all yourself, it just makes sense to trust someone who truly knows what they’re doing. That way, you can let go, relax, and properly enjoy your wedding day, exactly as it was meant to be enjoyed.

(Seriously, it’s the difference between enjoying a glass of champagne with your girls in the morning and running around fixing things in your rollers.)

If you want your wedding to feel relaxed, well looked after, and full of joy from start to finish, hiring a wedding coordinator really is one of the kindest things you can do for yourselves.

If you’re now sold on all the reasons you need a wedding coordinator, book in a consultation with Chloe, here to chat through your plans, ask all your questions, and see exactly how we can make your wedding day feel calm, joyful, and completely yours.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez

Where else could we possibly begin but with what was arguably the most extravagant celebrity wedding of the 2025?! Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez said their vows during a lavish, three-day celebration in Venice. Their ceremony took place on the breathtaking island of San Giorgio Maggiore, which the couple hired exclusively for the occasion. Naturally, the guest list was a who’s who of global powerhouses, with icons like Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates reportedly in attendance.

Lauren Sánchez stole the show in a couture gown adorned with 180 silk chiffon–covered priest buttons, a dress fit for a royal wedding. Yet perhaps the most jaw-dropping detail of all was the wedding cake which was crafted by the legendary Parisian pastry mastermind Cédric Grolet. Rumour has it the cake might be the most expensive wedding cake ever created – we can only imagine!

Becca Bloom and David Pownall

TikTok sensation Rebecca Ma – known online as Becca Bloom – married software engineer David Pownall in a wedding that looked straight out of a modern fairytale. Set against the dreamy backdrop of Lake Como, their summer celebration gave undeniable Crazy Rich Asians energy, combining whimsical romance with jaw-dropping luxury.

The ceremony featured spectacular towering floral installations, a mirrored aisle reflecting the shimmering lake views and spectacular bursts of colourful smoke cannons that transformed the setting into something almost cinematic. Even the rain, because, of course, Lake Como loves a dramatic moment couldn’t dull the magic. If anything, it added to the atmosphere, making for photos so beautiful they’ll likely serve as huge wedding inspo for years to come.

Georgia Toffolo and James Watt

From lavish floral arrangements to supermarket daffodils, Georgia Toffolo’s wedding plans and comments caused quite the stir. If any celebrity wedding 2025 gave us a wedding with personality, it was this one! Georgia Toffolo’s big day sparked headlines, memes and admiration in equal measure. The reality star kept things spontaneous, reportedly telling guests to join only “if you can get here within 48 hours.” From there, the chaos and the charm began.

On her way to the ceremony, she allegedly grabbed supermarket daffodils to use as flowers, and her cake was rumoured to be a last-minute DIY creation. The photos the couple shared were wonderfully unconventional: the groom wearing fishing waders and Georgia posing in a cream, off-the-shoulder fleece while clutching freshly caught lobsters. The result? A celebration that felt refreshingly authentic, quirky and full of personality. But we absolutely adore this playful take on a very traditional day.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco said “I do” in a beautifully intimate California ceremony this September. The couple both wore custom Ralph Lauren ensembles, blending timeless elegance with effortless modern romance. Their guest list was, unsurprisingly full of music icons with Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran reportedly giving speeches during their celebration. 

And if the speeches weren’t iconic enough, the ring bearer was none other than Martin Short. Yes, that Martin Short. The blend of classic style, star-studded storytelling, and celebrity sparkle made their wedding truly unforgettable.

Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen

In May, Dani Dyer and footballer Jarrod Bowen tied the knot at the stunning Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire. Their celebration oozed elegance, intimacy and was a true family affair. One of the most touching details? Dani’s father, Danny Dyer, walking her proudly down the aisle. Their children served as flower girls and page boy and the photos are absolutely stunning! 

The dreamy white Hydrangeas and roses helped created a hugely romantic vibe and the dreamy outdoor scenery gave the event an almost Bridgerton-esque charm – we are obsessed! This absolutely picturesque wedding is one we will remember for a long time.

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer

Kristen Stewart and screenwriter Dylan Meyer opted for something entirely different and entirely them. The couple married over Easter weekend in an ultra-private celebration that unfolded partly at their Los Angeles home and partly at their favourite Mexican restaurant. The vibe? Relaxed, heartfelt, and effortlessly cool.

The wedding looks were some of the trendiest of the year: a sheer silk mini dress paired with a chic tweed set. No veils, no bouquets, and no bridesmaids just authenticity, comfort, and style. It’s the kind of wedding that proves simplicity can be just as striking as extravagance. This wedding could not have suited them as a couple more! 

 
Demi Lovato and Jordan Lutes

From one California celebration to another! Demi Lovato and Jordan Lutes embraced full glamour, wearing not one but three spectacular outfits throughout their Santa Barbara wedding weekend. Demi stunned in two custom Vivienne Westwood gowns before changing into a tailored Lapointe suit that turned heads.

Their wedding included a rehearsal dinner, a romantic ceremony, and arguably the highlight being a special live performance by The Goo Goo Dolls. The couple’s first dance was choreographed and performed live by the band, making the moment unforgettable.

 
Kim Cattrall and Russell Thomas

The Sex and the City star married her longtime partner in an intimate ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall. Just 12 guests attended the beautifully private celebration. The bride stunned in a classic Dior suit perfectly suited to the venue, while her new husband looked dapper in a custom Richard James design.

Reflecting on their relationship, Sarah once said, “We’ve been together almost 10 years now, and we’ve had a blast.” The couple first met in 2016 when she appeared on BBC Radio 4 and they clearly never looked back. A heart-warming love story to end a year of fabulous weddings!

Sophie and Rhys

And we had to save a special mention for one of our very own! This year, Sophie from our team married her now-husband Rhys at the enchanting Lapstone Barn in the Cotswolds. Their countryside celebration was the epitome of fairytale romance, complete with breathtaking florals, twinkling fairy lights and subtle touches of Disney magic woven throughout.

After getting engaged on April Fools’ Day we are so happy to see the pair start their happily ever after! Surrounded by close family and friends this was a true love story come to life and we can’t wait to see more countryside fairytale weddings like this!
