I highly recommend Alycia as your wedding coordinator. She’s extremely organized and on top of things, and really caters to your specific desires for your wedding, all the while being flexible and supportive of your vision. Alycia was our wedding coordinator… She knows her stuff and how everything should flow together… She really can take the loose ends and put it all together for you. Tammy and I had a beautiful wedding in June 09… Tammy and I wanted a very unique wedding different from many other traditional weddings, and Alycia sat down several hours with us, understood what we wanted to put together, and helped facilitate it perfectly on our special day. We were on a budget, and we had tried to figure out how to cut costs, but the wedding coordinator is a must and Alycia is totally worth the investment… There’s just too many plans that have to come together before and during the wedding. There’s no way we could have pulled off the wedding without a facilitator/wedding planner, and Alycia was perfect for the job.

During a resent survey with brides on what would they do differently for their wedding if they had to do it all over again, 90% of the brides said to hire a day of wedding coordinator? According to an article I read by Dawn Griffin of New Mexico, if you have planned out the majority of your wedding, a “day of” coordinator will serve as your total relief on your wedding day by tying up loose ends and finalizing dates and times with all vendors involved. Contrary to popular belief, a “day of” coordinator actually enters into the wedding planning during the final month of preparation. There are a lot of details to worry about on your wedding day, so why not let a coordinator worry about the details instead of you? During the month leading up to your big day the coordinator will make sure that all contracts have been signed with all vendors, ensure that everything from the flower girl’s dress to your dress will be ready, confirm the final itinerary with you and all of your vendors and, most important of all, take the stress off of you! The “day of” ceremony services include making sure the flowers, decorators, cake, photographer, limousine and entertainment all arrive when they are supposed to, provide coordination for the ceremony so that it runs smoothly, acting as crowd control in between the ceremony and reception, and making sure that everything is taken care of so that you do not have to. As you can see, the major benefit of having a “day of” coordinator is total relaxation. Wedding coordinators take pride in taking the weight off of your shoulders on your wedding day. That is what we live and breathe to do. Consider Alycia as your “day of” coordinator for your wedding day.
One brides comment was that she would have hired a day-of coordinator because when you do not have a go to person, people always go to the Bride. The one thing most brides don’t get on their wedding day is a break. If you want to enjoy individual moments more and deal with questions and disasters less, hiring day-of help should be a high priority on your to-do list. The quality time you’ll gain is well worth the fee.

I have the knowledge and experience to make your event most enjoyable. I have been a wedding coordinator for over ten years and performed over two hundred and fifty weddings and parties during that time. As your wedding coordinator, I will be your personal assistant during the planning stage as well as the day of to ensure that your special day reflects your vision, personality and unique style.
Prior to booking an event, I would like to meet with you for a consultation to help customize your personal wedding itinerary. This meeting is important because I can give you several creative ideas and suggestions on cutting cost without loosing the elegance of your wedding. Most engaged couples have ideas for their wedding, but do not realize everything that is entailed to make their event successful. I will customized a wedding itinerary and timeline to coordinate all events with the wedding party, family, venue staff and other vendors on your special day.
With average wedding costs hovering around $35,000, many newlyweds start their lives together in debt. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. It is possible to save money and have a great wedding at the same time. By hiring Creative Weddings by Alycia, we can give you creative ideas for keeping your wedding day focused on beginning a new life together, not financial debit.
