hi... question... i-clarify lang nako... there are 2 kinds of coordinators man... 1st is kanang Full Coordination, that means from planning to on-the-day coordination (which is mahal) and the 2nd one is On-The-Day Coordination (which can be cheaper)... The difference between the 2 is that, ang sa Full Coordination, ang coordinator na bahala sa mga suppliers (basically mga suki na niya nga contacts and sila na bahala sabot sa price based on your budget.) Ang disadvantage ani kay basin makakita ka ug coordinator nga mu-add-on sa rates sa mga suppliers... So, basin mumahal nuon samot. (Be careful lang ani nila.) Now, for the 2nd one, On-The-Day Coordinator is that, YOU, the couple, will do the planning, creating the concept, looking for suppliers. Then let's say, a month before YOUR big day, the On-The-Day Coordinator, will step in to make sure everything is complete for YOUR big day and make sure everything goes smoothly on THE day...
As to your question if you should get one or not, my answer to that is, GET ONE!
I do some wedding coordinations here and there. Sometimes assist lang ko kung magpa-tabang akong mga kaila. And this is what I've observed. If you want a stress free Wedding Day, a Wedding Coordinator can be a BIG help. As to which kind of coordination you want, the Full Coordination or On-The-Day Coordination, YOUR call.
As to whom...
hehe bitaw, I don't do wedding coordinations full time but I do know of people who can help you on your BIG Day...
