How Month-of Coordination Can Save You Stress
Planning your wedding can be exciting, emotional and at times overwhelming — especially in the final few weeks. Even the most organised couples often find that the month leading up to the wedding becomes the most stressful part of the entire journey. That’s exactly where Month-of Coordination comes in.
As a wedding planner and coordinator covering the South West UK, I offer Month-of Coordination for couples who have planned most of their wedding themselves, but want a professional to step in and ensure the final details are handled smoothly, calmly and efficiently.
If you’re dreaming of a stress-free wedding day, here’s how Month-of Coordination can make that happen.
What Is Month-of Coordination?
Month-of Coordination (sometimes known as wedding day management) is designed for couples who have done the majority of the planning but want an experienced coordinator to take over in the final weeks.
Unlike “on-the-day only” services — which I don’t offer, because they are rarely enough — Month-of Coordination ensures I’m fully prepared, informed, and ready to manage your wedding professionally.
Typically, Month-of Coordination includes:
A detailed handover meeting 4–6 weeks before the wedding
Full review of your plans, suppliers and timelines
Contacting and confirming all suppliers
Creating a smooth, realistic wedding day schedule
Managing set-up, suppliers, décor and guest flow
Coordinating the ceremony and reception
Handling any issues discreetly on the day
Allowing you, your friends and family to enjoy the day without responsibility
It’s the perfect support package for DIY couples, budget-friendly weddings and celebrations where the couple is handling most planning themselves.
Why Month-of Coordination Saves You Stress
1. You’re not juggling suppliers in the final weeks
The month before your wedding is when suppliers start sending final questions and invoices, timings need confirming, and last-minute decisions pop up.
With Month-of Coordination, I take over all supplier communication so you can stop checking your inbox every five minutes.
2. A professional builds your wedding day timeline
A timeline isn’t just a rough schedule — it’s the backbone of a smooth wedding.
As an experienced South West wedding coordinator, I build a timeline that accounts for:
Seasonal light (important for barn venues and outdoor photos)
Marquee logistics
Supplier arrival times
Venue access times
Ceremony flow
Set-up and pack-down requirements*
Guest transitions
A well-planned timeline reduces 90% of wedding day stress.
3. You don’t have to set up décor or manage the venue*
This is one of the biggest reasons couples book Month-of Coordination. You don’t want to spend your wedding morning:
Setting up tables
Adjusting chairs
Fixing decorations
Placing signage
Sorting flowers
Checking suppliers have arrived
Managing timings
I handle all of this for you — including set-up using your own décor items to help you stay on budget.
4. Your family and bridal party can relax too
Your loved ones want to enjoy the day, not spend it:
Organising suppliers
Directing guests
Troubleshooting problems
Managing the ceremony music
Checking the bar or catering
Packing away décor at the end*
With me handling everything, they can simply celebrate with you.
5. Issues are handled discreetly and professionally
As a coordinator, I solve problems before you even know they existed.
Missing table name?
Weather change?
Supplier stuck in traffic?
Flower delivery confusion?
You don’t hear about it — you just enjoy your wedding.
That’s real peace of mind.
Perfect for all types of wedding venues
Month-of Coordination is especially helpful for barn weddings, marquee weddings, and rural countryside venues across the South West UK.
These venues often require:
More logistical planning
Support with set-up and décor*
Additional supplier coordination
Outdoor weather contingency plans
Understanding of lighting, power and layout
Having worked across Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset and beyond, I understand the unique challenges and beauty of countryside, barn and marquee venues.
The Result: A Calm, Enjoyable, Stress-Free Wedding
Imagine waking up on your wedding morning knowing:
Everything is already handled
Someone you trust is managing the day
Your suppliers are briefed and confirmed
Your décor is being set up exactly as you imagined
Your timeline is being followed
Any issues will be taken care of
All you need to do is enjoy every moment
This is exactly what Month-of Coordination gives you.
