We used Pavaune Pearson from Invited Events (https://twitter.com/#!/invitedevents) for our day of coordinator. She rocks and I highly recommend her.
Things she did:
- She ran point with all of vendors before day of to make sure everyone is on the same page
- Did walk through with caterer and us to at the site
- Made extremely detailed timeline of the days events. coordinated that with all vendors
- Came to our apt 2 days before the wedding to run through the timeline and pickup all the things we had (programs, vases, pictures,menus, etc, etc,etc). It was a lot of stuff.
- Ran the whole rehearsal
- Took care of all the setup of the stuff we gave her, worked with caterer to make sure everything was perfect. Also did all the teardown of everything.
- Kept everyone on time all day, took care of any problems that came up and made sure that we didn't know about them.
- Probably tons of other things I don't even know about
She was well worth the money, we would have gladly payed her much more.
