If you’re planning a wedding for 2024 and beyond, you may have noticed that there are many different titles for wedding planners. It can be confusing to know which one is best for you. Here are some common names you may have seen: Month of Coordinator, Month of Management, Day of Coordinator, Partial Planner, and Wedding Management. Don’t worry, these titles are mainly tied to different packages offered by planners.
Some all inclusive venues may still be requiring you to hire a Day of Coordinator for your Wedding Day or they’re offering a Venue Manager and you’re wondering if an extra planner is necessary.
Understanding the difference between Venue Manager and a Personal Coordinator
It’s important to understand the role of a venue manager versus a personal coordinator when planning a wedding. A venue manager’s primary responsibility is to ensure that the venue’s policies are being followed, while a personal coordinator is there to serve you and make sure your needs are being met. It’s crucial to distinguish between these two roles when choosing the right planner for your event. Hopefully, this article will help you identify the different types of planners and determine which one is the best fit for your needs.
Understanding the Role of a Day of Coordinator (DOC)
Don’t be misled by the title of this valuable service. The DOC is engaged 30-90 days before the wedding date to oversee the final details with the couple, vendors, and venue. Once all wedding day vendors have been secured, the couple hands over this responsibility to the DOC, who then becomes the point of contact for all parties involved. The primary duties of the DOC include communicating details with vendors, creating a timeline to ensure the day runs smoothly, and making important decisions in case of emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. Building a relationship with your DOC within the 30-90 day period is crucial to ensure a successful execution of your wedding day plan.
Other names for DOC – Month of Management, Event Management (our personal fav), Month of Coordinator, Wedding Administrator, Event Organizer. etc.

The Partial Planner: Helping Couples Achieve their Vision
If you’re a couple who has already started planning and have some vendors in mind, but need help securing a few more, the Partial Planner is here to assist. Sometimes during the planning process, couples hit a wall and need professional direction to bring their vision to life. This is where the Planner comes in – to make connections and fill in the gaps. The Partial Planning package includes DOC details, too. It is recommended to book this package 6-9 months before your wedding date. The Planner will provide you with additional guidance, tools and resources to bring your vision to life.
While there is a fine line between Full-Planning and Partial Planning, couples who opt for the latter are typically more involved in the planning process and know what they want. However, if you’ve hit a roadblock and need to offload the planning stress to a professional, Full-Planning may be a better option. Meet with a professional to determine which package is best suited for you.

The Importance of a Wedding Planner
Wedding planning can get stressful really quickly and that is why there are so many different packages+ planners to help you on your unique planning journey. Professionals are always a phone call away to make this a memorable enjoyable journey.
Planning a wedding is much more than just choosing flowers. It involves considering how many flowers of what style are needed, how they complement each other, how they will be arranged, by whom, when, and for how long. The devil is in the details, and it can be easy to overlook the critical aspects that could make or break your wedding. While I’m not here to persuade you to hire a planner, I can explain why you might NEED one. There are numerous things that could go wrong, but with a skilled planner, you, as a couple, won’t even know about them because the planner will have already resolved them.
