When I tell people I’m a wedding coordinator, they usually respond with one of the following:
“Oh my gosh, Are you like J Lo (The Wedding Planner)?”
“I could never afford a coordinator!”
“I don’t need a coordinator, I am really organized and my mom is doing all the decorating.”

Many brides question their need for a professional wedding coordinator.  At Champagne, we feel that working with a professional is invaluable for many reasons – below we have outlined just a few of the areas in which your coordinator will assist you.  Your decision to hire a professional will be your first step on the path to a beautiful and stress-free wedding!

• Time - hiring a professional wedding coordinator will save you valuable time and will allow you to truly enjoy being engaged to the one you love! Your professional coordinator will do the time-consuming work for you, from researching venues that may suit your needs to scheduling appointments for you to addressing invitations to making sure your decorations are placed perfectly on the wedding day.  Hiring a coordinator allows you the luxury to enjoy your engagement!
• Money - the professional coordinators at Champagne work hard to foster relationships with a wide range of vendors. These relationships result in special discounts and exclusive rates that your coordinator will then pass along to you.
