Is a Wedding Coordinator Really Worth It? (Spoiler: Yes.)

If you’re in the middle of planning your wedding and wondering, “Do we really need a coordinator?”—you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions DIY couples find themselves asking in the final months leading up to the wedding. After all, you’ve already booked your venue, secured your key vendors, and have a pretty good vision for the day. So what does a coordinator really do—and is it worth the money?

In short: 100% yes. And here’s why.

You Deserve to Actually Enjoy Your Wedding Day

Whether you're planning a laid-back backyard celebration, a destination wedding in the Pacific Northwest, or something totally unique to your love story, your wedding day should be about you—not about managing a timeline, answering vendor questions, or wondering who brought the candles for the ceremony table.

Our job as your wedding coordinator is to take all that stress off your plate, so you can be fully present with your partner, friends, and family.

What a Sheeco Coordinator Actually Does

We’re not just there to show up on your wedding day and point people around. Our “Day-Of” coordination is actually month-of support, and it includes so much more than just logistics.

Here’s what you get when you book coordination with Sheeco Weddings:

• Expert guidance starting 4–6 weeks out
  We’ll jump in to review your contracts, fill in any planning gaps, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

• A personalized, detailed timeline
  We create a personalized and comprehensive schedule for your entire day—down to the minute—and distribute it to your entire vendor team, ensuring everyone is aligned.

• A vendor-facing “day-of packet”
  This includes key contacts, load-in/load-out instructions, special notes, and your final timeline. It keeps everyone on the same page and minimizes day-of questions.

• Décor setup and teardown
  From centerpieces to signage, we put out your decor exactly as you envisioned—and we pack it up safely at the end of the night, so your loved ones aren’t stuck cleaning up.

• Support for those last-minute “uh-oh” moments
  Forgot the card box? Need to adjust seating the morning of? We’ve got it. We’ve handled everything from wardrobe malfunctions to late florals—calmly and discreetly.

We’ve Done This Before—A Lot

Our team has managed dozens of weddings, plus major events like nonprofit galas, music festivals, and even live televised award shows. We bring that same level of organization, communication, and calm to every wedding we coordinate—whether it's a formal ballroom affair or a whimsical forest celebration.

We know how to work with your vendors, anticipate what could go wrong, and quietly solve issues before you even notice them.

Still Debating If It’s Worth It?

Think of a coordinator as an insurance policy for your peace of mind. When you’ve spent months dreaming up every detail, the last thing you want is to spend the day troubleshooting. And no one in your wedding party should be working, either—they’re there to celebrate with you!

By investing in a coordinator, you’re investing in your ability to be fully present—to laugh, dance, cry happy tears, and soak it all in with the love of your life.

We Work With All Couples

Love is love—and as a queer-owned business, we are proud to support couples of all genders and orientations. y. Whether you’re queer, trans, nonbinary, or anywhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, we create a safe and affirming planning experience rooted in respect, joy, and authenticity. You deserve a wedding day that reflects who you are, without needing to explain or justify anything.

Inclusivity Matters

At Sheeco Weddings, inclusivity isn’t just a value—it’s a practice. That means we don’t just celebrate all love; we design events that welcome all people. We work with you to ensure your celebration is accessible and affirming. We ask the right questions—about pronouns, sensory sensitivities, language access, and more—so your day is welcoming to everyone in your circle. Plus, we communicate these needs to your vendors. Love should never come with barriers, and we’re here to help you build a celebration that reflects your values.
