Month-Of vs. Day-Of Coordination: Why Wildflower Events & Design Only Offers Month-Of (And Why You’ll Love It)

Planning a wedding is basically juggling Pinterest boards, vendors, timelines, opinions, and emotions… all while trying to remember where you put your coffee. As a wedding planner based in Tyler, Texas who serves couples all across East Texas and beyond, I’ve seen just how much goes into creating a seamless, joy-filled celebration.

And if there’s one question I hear alllll the time, it’s this:

“What’s the difference between a day-of coordinator and a month-of coordinator?”

Let’s break it down, Wildflower style.

The Myth of the “Day-Of Coordinator”

Here’s the secret no one tells engaged couples: There is no such thing as true ‘day-of’ coordination.

None. Zero. Zilch.

If someone shows up on your wedding morning having never met your vendors, read your contracts, learned your venue rules, or seen your timeline… we’re not calling that coordination. We’re calling that chaos.

A wedding day is a living, breathing production with moving parts, personalities, logistics, and delicate details. You deserve more than someone parachuting in and hoping for the best. What Month-Of Coordination Really Means

Month-of coordination is where the magic truly happens.

At Wildflower Events & Design, our month-of process starts long before your wedding day.

When you book Month-Of with us, you get:

• A dedicated planning meeting 6 weeks out (We deep dive your vision, vendors, floor plans, and all the hidden things you don’t know you need to know.)

• Vendor communication & management. We contact your entire vendor team to confirm details, logistics, delivery times, and needs, so everyone’s playing on the same team.

• A custom, minute by minute timeline Tailored to your venue, your wedding party, your vendors, and your priorities.

• Rehearsal coordination. Both sides standing in the right place at the right time… without the chaos.

• Fully managed wedding day execution. You get to relax, sip champagne, and enjoy your people. We’ll handle everything else. (Yes, everything.)

This isn’t just showing up the day of, it’s stepping into the final, most important part of your planning journey and making sure it ends beautifully.

Why Wildflower Doesn’t Offer Day-Of Coordination

Because you deserve better.

You deserve a team who understands your priorities, knows your vendors, and is invested in the full picture, not just the final page of the script.

Wildflower Events & Design goal is to help couples create weddings that feel intentional, joyful, and uniquely theirs. Month-of allows us to give you the level of care, communication, and excellence that your love story deserves.

And let’s be real, month-of makes your entire vendor team happier, too. And when vendors are happy? Your wedding day runs like butter.

The Wildflower Difference

Here’s what sets our month-of coordination apart:

• We don’t just “check in” we truly partner with you.

• We bring a calm, confident presence (and a touch of Brooke’s signature wit).

• We take your stress personally… and we eliminate it.

• We’re committed to serving couples with excellence, heart, and intention.

We want you to experience every moment, not manage it.
