What is the Difference Between a Wedding Planner and a Wedding Coordinator?

While both wedding planners and wedding coordinators play essential roles in ensuring a smooth wedding day, their responsibilities and involvement in the planning process differ significantly.

 

Wedding Planner

wedding planner is involved from the very beginning and assists with every aspect of the wedding, including:

  • Venue and vendor selection
  • Budget management and contract negotiations
  • Design, styling, and overall wedding concept
  • Logistics, guest management and accommodations
  • Timeline creation and full event execution

Wedding planners handle the entire process from start to finish, ensuring that every detail aligns with the couple’s vision.

 

Wedding Coordinator

wedding coordinator typically steps in closer to the wedding date (usually one to two months before) and focuses on:

  • Creating a wedding day timeline
  • Coordinating setup and logistics
  • Managing the ceremony and reception flow
  • Handling last-minute issues

Coordinators ensure that everything runs seamlessly on the wedding day; however, they are not involved in the full planning process and therefore do not take responsibility for managing or securing vendors. As a result, they cannot be held accountable for any issues that may arise due to a vendor. 

 

Which One Do You Need?

  • If you need full-service assistance and someone to design, plan and execute your wedding from start to finish, a wedding planner is the right choice.
  • If you’ve planned everything yourself but need someone to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day, a wedding coordinator is a great option.

For a destination wedding in Lake Como, having a local wedding planner is highly recommended due to the complexity of logistics, vendor coordination, and cultural nuances.
