Responsibilities extend to overseeing ceremony and reception setups following the event design and execution playbook, managing vendor arrivals, and acting as the main point of contact for all vendors.

Additional duties include coordinating the placement of important personal and event details such as escort cards, menus, table numbers, favors, guest books, and decor elements. The coordinator supports the wedding party and family by providing guidance, timing cues, and addressing any day-of needs to ensure a seamless and memorable experience. At the conclusion of the event, they handle the proper packing and accounting of all end-of-event items, including gifts and personal decor.
