Hello World! Welcome Friends! Well, if you are thinking of coordinating your wedding, you must drop the idea right away. In case you believe you are going to save your budget this way and have things more like you want them to be, you’re wrong! There are things that you are entirely unaware of, and there must be stuff in the wedding planning process that you don’t know how to manage and tackle. Thus, coordinating your own wedding isn’t only going to be hectic but frantic, too.
Want to know the raw truth behind ‘Why you should not get yourself into coordinating your wedding?’ Well, let’s get started then!

Managing the Budget isn’t a Game!
Maybe you think that you’re great at managing the décor, other items, arranging the best food, but have you ever thought if you’re good at managing the budget or not? Also, I wouldn’t recommend thinking that managing a wedding’s budget is just as same as that of home because it needs a lot more experience, knowledge about the market rates and things required at a wedding.
A wedding planner or a coordinator would have been in the field for years, and thus, knows what and how to arrange the décor items and high-quality wedding items at the lowest rates. Therefore, a professional can help you figure out your wedding while staying within your budget!
Coordinating A Wedding Isn’t a One-Time Planning
You might decide to coordinate your wedding all by yourself instead of hiring a wedding coordinator because you think that all you have to do is to plan and arrange everything at once. Well, coordinating a wedding will definitely prove to be much more than that!
Even great wedding planning plans or arrangements might not work when you have unexpected problems during the event. Will you be able to troubleshoot them while being the focal point of the wedding? Of course not! Either you can be there at your wedding enjoying, or you can arrange and make things right for the people around you, being both a planner and a bride – there’s no other choice than that!
Might Run into Flop Ideas
A wedding coordinator can offer amazing ideas about improving the day because they know the traditions, culture, and what looks and feels best, having witnessed many weddings already. For example, they will know what entertainment will work best, the venues that fit your theme in the location you want, and the seasoned Banff wedding photographers who will be best able to capture all the special moments of your day. In contrast, you might not only lack the ideas but can also run into inspo you find online or somewhere else which can prove to be a flop or flat failure when put into practice.
Here, a wedding planner can let you know if you just got hold of flop ideas or the hit ones from his previous wedding experiences. This way, you won’t bring yourself to indulge in unnecessary expenditures and can still have a hit wedding reception!
You Won’t Even Get Time for Yourself
Making sure that the lights are set is alright, the photographer’s in the right place, the food’s in time, the drinks are properly available, the décor is just right, the wedding cake has arrived or not; well, these are not the things you would like to be worrying about at your own wedding, right?
It should be more like feeling married, sharing love vibes with your partner, happily chatting with your friends, and enjoying wedding photoshoots. If you get yourself indulged in wedding planning and coordinating stuff, you will never be able to take out any time for yourself at your wedding.
Coordination Needs a Full-Time Supervision
Coordinating a party or a dinner is another thing, but being a coordinator for your wedding is something that needs your full-time attention and supervision. You will need to manage your guests, host the event, make sure everything’s in its place, and a lot more. This supervision and management is all cool, tiring, and fun at the same time but definitely NOT at your own wedding.
A wedding is a day full of intimate and adorable moments. How will you enjoy those moments if you will be busy all the time checking out the wedding uplighting, flowers, food, and drinks?
Your Wishes Will Be Compromised
A wedding coordinator is supposed to work and manage all the things according to the wishes of the bride and the groom. If you are managing the entire stuff all by yourself, you’ll end up managing things according to your guests and taking care of them all the way to the end.
You won’t be able to get time for proper photoshoots, re-touches, friends’ moments, and not even to feel that wedded vibe for the first time. This all will be only because of your mind being occupied with the chores and the needs of the guests you need to attend to.
Conclusion
Coordinating a wedding and doing all the wedding planning by yourself never comes in handy, just to be clear. You can surely help out your coordinator with all the stuff and let them know how you want everything to be at your wedding, but you must not become a coordinator yourself. This will do nothing but frustrate you on your most unforgettable day, and we are certain that you don’t want that.
