Understanding the Differences:
Wedding Designer: A wedding designer/wedding stylist is responsible for the overall look of your wedding. They take your design likes, your wedding needs and create visual elements that are coherent to the theme you want for your wedding.
Wedding Planner: A wedding planner is responsible for organizing your wedding. Most wedding planners do the actual booking of caterers, venues, music etc. all with the approval of the client. Depending on you level of service contracted with them, the wedding planner will assist you with finding the right venue and vendors. They will also coordinate all of your vendors into one cohesive team to make your wedding day a success. Most wedding planners also assist with budget creation and maintenance, wedding day timelines, seating arrangements and just about anything else that has to do with organizing and planning your wedding. They will usually act as the coordinator for the day of your wedding since they have assisted you with planning and organizing.
Wedding Coordinator: A wedding coordinator can coordinate the wedding event, but does not offer planning services. A wedding coordinator does not assist with any planning of the wedding. Their main responsibility is to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible the day of your wedding. They will be responsible for handling and organizing all of your vendors as well as any set-up only on your wedding day. They will also handle any type of clean-up or post-wedding duties needed. There are many uses of the titles “planner” and “coordinator” in reference to the same responsibilities but it is important to know that they are not the same. Each carries very different duties so be sure to ask a lot of questions so you hire the correct one. More importantly, know your wants and needs before choosing a designer, planner or coordinator.
Day of Coordinator: A Day of Coordinator is to oversee the day of your wedding. They guide you through your entrances and exits, they tell you when to cut the cake, they make sure you get to your get away vehicle, and they go home. They have vendor phone numbers and often work with your planner and/or coordinator so they are aware of the process of you wedding.
Onsite/In-house Planner: An onsite/in-house planner is typically only responsible for things that happen onsite and that are relative to the site and its staff and NOTHING else. These are most commonly used in a Destination Wedding Venue.
