What's the difference between a wedding planner and a wedding coordinator?

Britt Armstrong-Gash (Wedding Planner) gives expert video advice on: What does a wedding planner do?; What makes a successful wedding planner? and more...

A wedding co-ordinator is someone who will be contacted by a client, in advance of the wedding day, when the client has actually planned everything from start to finish, but wants the extra reassurance of a professional there on the day to make sure everything happens the way it's supposed to. A wedding co-ordinator will meet with a client, double check with the suppliers, introduce themselves and finally attend on the day to make sure that everything happens the way it's supposed to. A wedding planner, on the other hand, will actually become involved from the very beginning of the planning stage. A wedding planner will plan everything from finding a venue and suppliers to actually being there on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly. This takes away a lot of the stress and worry from the wedding planner's client.
