The Role of Wedding Coordination at Your Microwedding or Virtual Wedding

A wedding is a beautiful celebration of you and your partner’s love for each other, and that magic is there no matter the size or location of your wedding! Microweddings and virtual weddings have become a new normal with health restrictions around large gatherings, but don’t be deceived by the shorter guest list. A wedding of any size requires planning and coordination to pull off, and having outside help with the process can take the stress of a wedding off of your shoulders. Here’s how wedding coordination can help bring your virtual or micro-wedding to life.

Wedding Coordination vs. Wedding Planning

While a microwedding or virtual wedding takes planning, a smaller ceremony and guest list means there are fewer tasks to take on. Wedding coordination combines the services of a wedding planner, who is with you extensively throughout the entire timeline of your wedding planning, and a wedding manager, who is on-hand on the day of your wedding to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. A wedding coordinator is like a microwedding: a little smaller, focused on you and your partner, and adaptable to your needs leading up to and on your big day.

Experienced Coordination 

A wedding coordinator or wedding planner has been to more weddings than most people attend in their lifetimes. And with the recent popularity of smaller weddings with virtual guests, wedding coordinators are at the forefront of planning and executing this new trend. When you hire wedding coordination for your celebration, you’re calling in the expert. Wedding coordinators have seen a whole range of wedding day mishaps and are equipped to handle them with ease.

While a microwedding or virtual wedding will have less guests, vendors, and hubbub than a larger affair, there are still a number of details that are all coming together on your wedding day. A wedding coordinator can help ensure that your wedding follows your schedule, that vendors and their products and services are where they’re supposed to be, and that both in-person and virtual guests are enjoying the celebration. Their expertise is useful in the planning stages, as well. Whether it’s planning and vendor support, helping with decor and theme, creating immersive invitations for digital guests, or coordinating with videographers for live streaming, wedding coordination provides focused expertise that makes planning and pulling off your wedding simple. 

Enjoy Your Wedding Celebration

No matter the size of your wedding, you’ll want to spend the day enjoying your celebration and focusing on your new spouse, family, and friends. Having wedding coordination at your wedding means that you don’t have to worry about the little details on your big day. A wedding is the culmination of months of planning, and no matter how well you planned ahead, it’s likely that there will be questions or concerns from your venue, vendors, or guests at some point during your wedding. With wedding coordination, you can leave the small fires to your experienced coordinator to put out and rest assured that you don’t need to worry about the little details. This is particularly useful when having digital guests, so that you don’t have to pull your lovestruck gaze away from your partner’s because grandma’s audio isn’t working.
