Wedding Coordinator: The Business Where Clients Pay for Peace of Mind
Couples want a perfect wedding without the chaos โ a coordinator takes over the logistics and ensures the day runs smoothly from start to finish.
A wedding coordinator is a professional who takes responsibility for organising and managing the wedding day โ or the entire planning process. They work with the couple to build a detailed timeline, liaise with suppliers, manage arrivals and departures, and handle unexpected situations in real time. The service divides into two primary models: day-of coordination (present only on the wedding day) and full-service planning (managing the entire process from the outset). For beginners, day-of coordination is the natural entry point, requiring a less extensive portfolio and supplier network. Earnings depend on the number of bookings per season and the rates you set.
Planning a wedding looks straightforward on the surface โ book the venue, arrange the catering, hire the photographer. In reality, it involves dozens of interdependent decisions that must all come together on a single day. One missing piece and the entire plan unravels.
๐Weddings are a consistently stable market
Demand for professional coordinators is rising as couples increasingly outsource the logistics. The UK wedding market remains active even during economic downturns, with over 240,000 marriages registered annually according to ONS data.
