To get a day of coordinator or not to get a day of coordinator…

That was the looming question for so long, but I finally gave in and got one!  Everyone that I tell – caterer, photographer, friends – say it was the best giving in decision I could have made for our big day!  I feel that I can rest assure and not stress out about all the little things on my wedding day!  That is now the task of the coordinator, Merryl!  A little weight seems lifted off my shoulders now that I made this executive decision!

By the way, if you want to know the way to my heart, just feed me FOOD!!!!!  When we first met Merryl, she gave us Vitamin Water and cookies and malt balls and chocolate covered gummy bears AND cranberry nut crisp!  I was in heaven and let me tell you, those cookies are amazing!!!  Not only is she a coordinator, Vows in Paradise, she also owns her own snack shop, Island Treats Creations.

Yummy Yummy Malt Balls!

I think we made a good decision and I hope all our vendors will get along just fine with our coordinator!  Merryl was very personable, generous and helpful.  I can’t wait to work with her.  She even offered to let us borrow her candle holders and lanterns to adorn the tables, as I am still looking for the final piece to my centerpiece!

Lanterns we could use as part of the centerpiece – a thoughtful gesture from our coordinator

The day is fast approaching and there is still much to do!

Stay tuned!
