Planning a wedding is an exhilarating journey filled with choices and dreams. It’s a path that often requires guidance and support, making each step delightful and stress-free.
We believe in creating an experience that transcends the traditional roles associated with venues. In this blog, we’ll share the differences between a wedding planner, a venue manager, and a venue coordinator, demonstrating how our unique approach provides more than just a venue but a sanctuary of peace and expertise.
The Roles Defined: Manager, Coordinator, and Planner
When it comes to planning your special day, it’s vital to distinguish between the roles of a manager, coordinator, and a dedicated wedding planner.
Venue Manager: A venue manager oversees the operations and logistics within the venue itself, ensuring the space functions seamlessly. However, their role primarily revolves around managing the venue, not the entire wedding planning process.
Venue Coordinator: A venue coordinator often aids in coordinating events at the venue, but their involvement can be limited, leaving a significant portion of the wedding planning responsibilities on the couple.
Dedicated Wedding Planner at Alexander Homestead: This role goes beyond the venue; a dedicated wedding planner like Carolann at Alexander Homestead tailors every aspect to your vision and preferences. From creating meticulous timelines to coordinating with vendors, they’re your guide through the entire journey.
