Have you ever wondered what on earth a day of coordinator really does? Well, in short, we do everything!  From the big parts, like setting up your wedding, to the tiny details, like fixing a dress mishap, a day of coordinator is a huge part of your day. OKOTA breaks down what we really do to help you and your wedding day run as smooth as can be.

We do everything!

Okay, but what is everything exactly? In OKOTA’s Day of Coordination Package, we’ve got you covered:
•    Last Minute Vendor Coordination
•    Up to 2 Preparatory Meetings and Timeline Coordination
•    Onsite Emergency Kit
•    Set Up and Take Down of Ceremony and Reception Venues
•    Oversight of Entire Day
•    Complimentary OKOTA Rentals Delivery and Pick Up
Unless you’ve planned a wedding before, you’d be surprised by all of the details and last minute occurrences that will happen up to the day and during your wedding. Instead of stressing during your ceremony, a day of coordinator handles all of the other stuff so you can kick back and enjoy your wedding day! We also offer additional services to the day of coordination package if you need them, such as rehearsal attendance, transporting décor, and even table bussing!

We include the details!

There are parts of your wedding that you certainly don’t think of planning in advance. For example, we make sure the wedding gifts get to the car so you don’t have to worry about them. Plus, our Onsite Emergency Kit includes everything that can save the day from your button falls off, when candles won’t stay lit, or when someone forgets a sharpie for the guest book. Trust us, we’ve seen it all, and we’ve got those little situations covered!

We handle the behind the scenes disasters!

When a vendor is running late, you don’t want to be on the phone with them between your ceremony and reception; you should be taking pictures and enjoying the moment! So when a vendor isn’t delivering on time, or your flowers are in the wrong place, we can quickly resolve the disasters before you know they’ve even happened. This way, everyone stays calm and happy!

We keep everything on time!

Flower delivery at noon? Check! Décor transferred between locations but before guests arrive at the reception? Check! When it comes to day of coordinators, we run things on a tight and efficient schedule. This means strong communication with team members so that deliveries and transfers happen on time, vendors arrive when scheduled, and extra time is made for any mishaps that may occur. You could say we love being organized!

We coordinate vendors!

Trying to keep track of all of your vendors is exhausting in itself. Day of coordinators, like OKOTA, handle all of the vendor coordination you can think of. Instead of trying to figure out who arrives when and what they are doing, let a day of coordinator figure out the details. Another perk is that day of coordinators are familiar with the vendors, so we already have relationships with them!  

When in doubt, a day of coordinator will do everything for your wedding day so you can sit back, celebrate, and relax! If you’re interested in having OKOTA be your day of coordinator, you can review our day of coordination packages here.
