Hi there,

I'm in the midst of planning my own wedding, and I think as far as planning goes, I'm able to handle it as it is a fairly moderately sized wedding at about 100pax.

However I'm a bit nervous about the rundown of events and timing of events on the day of and was wondering if a day off coordinator would help.

Has anyone ever used one? Are they worth it? Any recommendations?

If your wedding is not doing at a hotel and if you are doing it in a event venue. Best is to use a wedding coordinator

a good emcee will cover all these, not need coordinator as it is extra. unless you are rich and have many high class friend to impress or you are those flashy type person, if not money can be save. your deco and everything will cost more.

like zon91 said, if you're doing it at a hotel then you don't really need a coordinator, the person who helped me at Pavilion KL was great and I felt a whole lot of burden was taken off from our shoulders..

If you need break down of events do let me know I still do have the excel sheet

Hi, by any chance, do you still have the excel sheet to share? Thanks in advance

i tried to find it for a friend but couldn't unfortuantely, i got it online so i think you could do abit of google and search for it, had all little things that needed and also don't forget about the angpows to be given on that day haha

i would definitely suggest a coordinator. you'll need someone to keep follow the agenda to keep track on time, coordinate with the vendors, make sure everyone (bride/groom/parents/bridesmaid,groomsmen) to looks good, they are also the runners). you'll be surprised at all the little things that coordinators do that adds a whole lot of value to the wedding. the bride and groom should not be thinking of it.

i had one, or i had friends to help on this and it made it so much better.

Additionally, emcees are definitely not a good idea to be your coordinator. they should focus on talking and getting the crowd excited for the couple/wedding. the coordinators are the ones who directs the emcees.

if you might not have enough expenses for a coordinator, can try to get a friend/family to help.
