Wedding Coordinator

Our Cape Town Wedding coordinators have the ability to relieve a considerable amount of stress in helping couples plan their wedding day. Ensure that you choose a well-qualified and competent wedding planner who can arrange an entire myriad of services creating the atmosphere suitable for your dream wedding. These services include amongst others: 

- Design and sourcing of your invitations- The look, feel or theme of the wedding- Transport for the bridal couple and/or their guests- The music required for the ceremony and the reception- Hair and make up at your venue- Talented chefs that will ensure a culinary dining experience- Professional photographers and videographers that will capture the entire day accurately

The reasons for hiring a coordinator differ from one couple to the next. Most simply do not have the time to attend to all the tiring and stress inducing details, while others look for new ideas and the latest trends. The logistics of planning your wedding from afar can prove to be a nightmare. This is where wedding coordinators are an absolute necessity. An experienced coordinator has experience in all forms of hospitality and understands the finer details needed for an elegant wedding ceremony and unforgettable reception. From Sauvignon Blanc to smoked salmon and caviar, they need to know a lot more than an average couple could ever expect to know themselves.

Your wedding coordinator is your partner in planning, and becomes a friend and a confident at this special time. He/she can help you plan, prioritize, consider all the risks and ensure that you are always one step ahead. There is no better way to ensure that you have a romantic Cape Town wedding in South Africa, a special dream that you keep tucked in your heart.

Aleit – a top wedding coordinator in Cape Town, gives us insight into the industry to assist you when dealing with a wedding coordinator:

- Establish what the coordinator charges and what the fee is based on. 
- Be absolutely sure that you know what you are paying for. No hidden costs and surprises!- Be sure that you use a reputable coordinator.- Check at least three references related to weddings that the individual coordinated.- From the first encounter, ensure that your coordinator is familiar with your budget (a wedding coordinator works within the budget that you have agreed upon).- Follow your gut feel – if you do not feel comfortable or at home with the person, do not book them to coordinate the biggest day in your life. Find someone else.

“On the big day, your coordinator should be personally present to oversee the detailed arrangements of the wedding. This will ensure perfection, harmony and an overall enjoyable experience for the bride, groom and their families and guests.”

“The wedding day of each bride and groom should project their unique individuality. The overall theme of each wedding should be an extension of the character of the couple. It must be an experience that captures their true essence and should be tangible! From the invitation design right through to departure at the end of the reception, your coordinator must stay by your side and guide and assist you. The expectations of each guest have to be exceeded. Most wedding coordinators have an extensive database with a comprehensive list of the finest service providers. This ensures that each Bride’s dream day is turned into a tangible reality. A competent and efficient wedding coordinator will ensure proper correlation between the style and personalities of service providers on the one hand and individual preferences and style of the bride and groom on the other.”

Aleit believes that the coordinating process should be patterned as follows:

- A consultation will allow the coordinator to assess the clients’ individual needs and preferences.- Recommendations should then be made that should be followed by a proposal.- A suggested budget must be proposed. The client will know from the beginning of the planning process what the financial implications are.- The coordinator liases with each venue and service provider and this guarantees peace of mind for the bridal couple.- They will see to mock-ups of the floral décor.- They will ensure that menu tastings are arranged.- They will be present on the day to ensure that you have the stress free ‘time of your life!
- Wedding coordination as a career combines business, guest relations, hospitality and public relations in one job – be sure that you choose the coordinator that has the experience and expertise to make your day a WOW experience!
