Day-Of-Plus Service (Wedding Day Coordination)
All brides want their weddings to be calm and stress-free, and for their families and friends to be able to relax and enjoy the day. Hiring a professional wedding day coordinator will help to ensure that your special day turns out just as you have envisioned it.
All of my clients receive the Day-Of-Plus level of service. Typically referred to as "day-of coordination," the Circle of Love Weddings difference is that my Day-Of-Plus service provides you with the expertise and resources of a wedding planner throughout the planning period, as well as my personal presence with you for the entire event.
Day-Of-Plus service is tailored for brides who have or plan to locate their venue(s) and select most of their vendors themselves, and who are excited about planning and handling most of the creative details of their weddings.
Although you may simply be looking for a day-of coordinator to implement your vision on the wedding day, with Circle of Love Weddings, you will get so much more than the industry standard of service, and I will elevate your wedding day from "fine" to "amazing." I will always go above and beyond for all of my clients, and I know from years of experience that in order for me to do a good job coordinating your wedding, there is a certain amount of prep work that needs to be done and information that needs to be gathered ahead of time during in-person meetings. Plus, you will be relieved to have someone there to help you deal with the last-minute details that always seem to arise during the last week or two before the wedding.
Your customized price for Day-Of-Plus service is calculated in hours based on the specifics of your wedding (most events require 25 hours), and upon your approval, becomes a fixed rate that includes all of the services from the list below. In certain situations, the required hours may be adjusted up or down, depending on where you are in the planning process and how many hours are necessary on the wedding day itself. Please inquire for more information on creating your personalized wedding plan.
- Comprehensive planning checklists and forms
- Vendor referrals as needed
- Phone and e-mail consultation time with Daria throughout the entire planning period
- Planning meeting four to six weeks before the wedding
- Walk-through meeting at the venue(s) three to four weeks before the wedding
- Final planning meeting two weeks before the wedding
- Preparation and distribution of event schedule
- Review final details and resolve any issues with venue(s) and all vendors the week of the wedding
- Direct wedding ceremony rehearsal
- Act as family contact and vendor team leader throughout the entire wedding day
- Direct wedding ceremony and reception, in conjunction with an assistant if needed
- Post-event evaluation and assistance
Many of my clients find themselves lost in a sea of information and options. They lack the time and/or expertise to research and select the best vendors, and worry that important details will fall through the cracks.
For these clients, full wedding planning service is a lifesaver that allows them to relax and enjoy planning their weddings, with the help of an expert. You'll feel as though a weight has been lifted off your shoulders!
Full wedding planning service is tailored for brides who need more hands-on assistance and in-person meetings with their wedding planner. The Circle of Love Weddings difference is that I customize all of my services to meet your needs, rather than locking you into a preset package that may not suit your situation.
My clients come to me at all stages of the planning: anywhere from 18 to 3 months out, and may need help with choosing their venue(s), selecting some or all of their vendors, and/or simply figuring out all of the creative and logistical details that a wedding entails. No matter where you are in the planning process or how much help you would like, we will work together to create an amazing, stress-free wedding for you.
Any wedding planning services, including but not limited to the ones listed below, may be added to the Day-Of-Plus level of service that all of my clients receive - either to the initial proposal, and/or on an as-needed basis during the planning period. All additional services are charged at our hourly rate, and are always authorized by you, the client, ahead of time. Please inquire for further information on creating your personalized wedding plan.
- Assistance with locating and deciding on the ceremony and/or reception venue(s)
- Additional planning meetings and site visits (especially recommended for those who have major vendors left to select, to reduce your time spent researching and interviewing vendors who may not be the right fit for you)

What To Expect ~ The Hiring Process
Do my services sound like they would be a good fit for your needs? Please contact me to discuss setting up your free initial one-hour consultation. It is best if we can talk over the phone prior to setting your appointment, so we can go over the specifics of your wedding (date, location, budget, your preferred level of service, etc.). Don't worry if you don't know what some or all of these specifics are yet! I am here to help you figure them out.
During your initial consultation with Circle of Love Weddings, we'll meet in a relaxed atmosphere and take some time to evaluate your needs, and discuss your wedding ideas and dreams, what you've accomplished so far, what challenges you need to overcome, and how a wedding consultant can assist you. We'll then use that information to build a customized plan for your wedding. There is no obligation to sign anything at this consultation. If you don't live in Atlanta, we can accomplish this step over the phone if necessary. I have worked with many brides who live all over the country and even internationally.
After we meet, I will provide you with a written proposal, based on the services you have requested, in which I will describe to you exactly what those services entail. Upon your approval of the proposal, I will mail you my contract to sign. Once the contract is returned to me along with the deposit necessary to secure your date, we will get started on your wedding! I look forward to assisting you.
