Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a wedding coordinator and a wedding planner?
A coordinator handles day-of execution — timeline management, vendor coordination, and guest service on your actual celebration day. Planners handle the months-before work like vendor selection and contract negotiation. Coordination focuses on giving you time to celebrate instead of managing details during your event.Why doesn't Mona's Unique Boutique offer custom styling pricing for weddings?
Every celebration is custom designed because no two events share the same venue restrictions, timeline needs, or styling vision. Custom styling pricing forces couples into cookie-cutter solutions that don't address historic building limitations or weather contingency planning specific to each venue.
What does day-of wedding coordination actually include?
Timeline building starts weeks before, then day-of includes vendor arrival coordination, photographer and DJ timing management, guest direction, and handling any issues so you're celebrating instead of problem-solving. The focus is seamless execution of what you've already planned.What's included in event decoration and setup besides the decorations themselves?
Full setup teams handle installation and breakdown. Custom styling includes designing around venue limitations and coordinating color schemes across all elements.
Why should you hire a day-of coordinator instead of managing your wedding yourself?
A day-of coordinator is ideal for couples who want to enjoy their wedding without worrying about timelines, vendor communication, or the countless small details that arise throughout the day. They manage the mundane so you can focus on celebrating.
How are linens coordinated with overall event decorations?
Linen selection matches your color scheme and complements centerpieces, lighting, and venue style rather than functioning as standalone rentals.
What types of corporate events need professional decoration and setup?
Corporate Christmas parties, nonprofit fundraisers, product launches, and community memorial services benefit from setup teams that handle weather contingencies and venue logistics. Professional coordination ensures branding consistency, guest flow management, and timeline execution for events ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale community celebrations.
