Who Handles What on the Wedding Day?

On your wedding day, it can feel like everyone has a question or expectation. Knowing who handles what on your wedding day can reduce stress, keep your timeline smooth, and allow you to fully enjoy the celebration.

Bride & Groom Responsibilities

Your main focus? Celebrate, soak it in, and show up fully present.

Your “tasks” are really simple:

• Getting ready

• Sharing special moments with your loved ones

• Following the timeline that’s already been organized

• Saying your vows beautifully (that’s the hard part!)

Wedding Party Responsibilities

Your friends and family want to support you but their role is mostly emotional.

• Stand in ceremony or walk down the aisle

• Help with small personal touches if needed (like holding a bouquet or veil)

• Celebrate with you

• Leave logistics to the professionals

Your maid of honor or best man should not be your go-to coordinator, that’s where a day-of coordinator shines.

Vendors’ Responsibilities

Vendors are experts at their craft:

• Caterers handle food & drink

• Florists handle flowers & décor

• Photographers capture your day

• Musicians/DJs manage music & cues

A coordinator ensures vendors know the timeline and executes everything without relying on you or your loved ones to direct them.

The Day-Of Coordinator’s Role

Your coordinator is the glue. They:

• Keep the timeline on track

• Communicate with vendors

• Handle issues behind the scenes

• Ensure everyone knows where to be and when

• Let you stay present and stress-free

If this made you realize you want support instead of juggling everything, I’d love to connect and see how I can help you enjoy your wedding day fully.

With love, Erin
