Wedding Expert Video – Marry Me Tampa Bay 

Planning a memorable St. Petersburg wedding requires hiring the correct wedding pros. Everyone has their specialty and duties for the day to make it flawless. However, you need to thoroughly discuss these responsibilities with your wedding pros. Are you bringing in some of your own decor? Who’s going to put it out? Don’t have a wedding planner? Who’s going to collect your gifts, personal items, cake etc. at the end of the night?

Many couples assume that these are all items that your venue coordinator will handle. While some coordinators include more extensive services, others do not; every venue is different so double check what’s included with your wedding package. St. Petersburg wedding planner Tammy Waterman, owner of Special Moments Event Planning, (and the only Master Wedding Planner in the Tampa Bay area) shares insight “The Difference Between a Wedding Planner and Venue Coordinator.”

Wedding Advice Article – Marry Me Tampa Bay

I am a HUGE advocate of a hiring a Tampa Bay wedding planner.

Since most brides have never planned a large event beyond maybe a birthday party or baby shower, they don’t realize the scope of what it takes to make a wedding day smooth and enjoyable.

For those brides who understand the importance of hiring a professional wedding planner (trust me, it’s an investment you will not regret), they often get confused about the role and responsibilities of the venue’s wedding coordinator versus hiring your own wedding planner.
