At Your Service Weddings Day of Coordination Service
No Reviews
You squeeze your dad's hand then look at us. You are ready. We hand you your bouquet then fluff your dress. You smell the fragrance of your bouquet one last time before you walk down the aisle. We cue your song. You hear the music, we open the doors. There he is. You catch your breath. You see him catch his. This is the moment you planned for. We can make sure it happens as planned. But, who does the planning? You do. Our wedding planning approach is a little, well, out of the box. Only 4% of brides in the Twin Cities hire a full-service wedding planner. We offer a variety of smaller services for the other 96%. Whether it is full-service planning with one of our colleagues or a smaller service with us, every bride can enjoy the wedding planning and her wedding day. We offer: Day of coordination, hourly consulting, hourly consulting, decorating set-up, midnight tear-down, and rental collections. What is Day of coordination? Our Goal: To be there for you during your planning and wedding day without hijacking your plans. We simply enhance them and make sure they are realistic without changing the integrity of your design. Our Philosphy on the Wedding Day: "It takes a village to raise a child". It is going to take a big team effort from all of your vendors working together to make sure your wedding day happens successfully. We are not church coordinators, reception event managers, DJ's, or photographers. Nor do any of them do our job. We all have our role and by communicating with one another, we really can have a fun day while getting the job done. Our Service:Day of coordination is our most popular services. It is designed for the couples that want to plan their own wedding but not work on their wedding day. This service really goes beyond just the day of the wedding. Throughout the course of your planning, we are your own personal wedding coach. Call and email us with your specific planning questions anytime. We already know the details of your design, family, and taste so the answers are specifically to you. Our day of coordination service can take away hours upon hours of internet research for problems and trying to figure out the wedding planning process and what to do next. The internet for brides is a huge planning tool. Use it to get inspired for design ideas, have a wedding website, and track your RSVP list. Leave the hard questions for us. Our day of coordination service also includes face-to-face meetings. During these meetings, we can personalize vendor referrals to you, talk you through family or etiquette issues, help prioritize your to-do list and budget, offer lower cost alternatives, etc. We also assist you in developing a master timeline. How long does it take to put on 300 chair covers? How long will a receiving line take? How long should family pictures take? We can assist with any question. Finally, right before the big day, we attend your final reception and/or ceremony meetings. This is to ensure that you, your sites, and At Your Service Weddings are all on the same page. On your wedding day, the sky is the limit with what we do. Think of it this way, if we are busy managing this beautiful event for an entire day, this would all be on your shoulders without us. That is time taken away from your friends and family to be working. With us there, you just focus on, well, getting married! The following list doesnt even begin to describe the services we provide on the day of your wedding, but here are a few main highlights: '¢At least two coordinators present for the big day '¢Conduct rehearsal with your officiant '¢Light decorating of ceremony and/or reception sites '¢Be the point-of-contact for your vendors '¢Handle issues that may arise '¢Field questions from guests '¢Make sure the day flows smoothly '¢Give cues for walking down the aisle, grand entrance into the reception, toasts, etc. '¢Make sure the reception is executed as planned '¢Tear-down your décor at the end of the evening. '¢Arrive on-site with our Wedding Day Emergency Kit which consists of over 150 items that we use to tackle any problem that arises. We also own sets up linens and chair covers. Our inventory is available for client rental . In most cases, we can offer discounts for "bundling" together day of coordination and rentals. What is the cost for day of coordination? Weddings are like snowflakes, they are all different. We simply can not just show up on the wedding day and start rolling out your plan without having had some knowledge of the plan before hand. It would be like you trying to pick out a gift for someone that you hadn't even met before. You don't know their personality so you are just guessing. And, we need to make sure your plan is realistic. We have started working with a client and asked them to send over the timeline they have started. On it we find that they have one person scheduled o put on 300 chair covers in fifteen minutes. Ah, not realistic. However, we will help you make it realistic. Even for day of coordination we work with our clients for about 40 hours even before the week of the wedding arrives. This would be answering their questions, creating the timeline, meetings, and other types of assistance to the couple. This enables us to make sure the train stayed on the tracks during their planning before we jump into the conductors seat. Also, it creates trust between us and the client so they feel comfortable turning over their baby to us on the wedding day and relaxing 100%. So, what is the cost? Give us a call so we can discuss the details of your snowflake. What in the world is a "rental collection"? This is a one of a kind collection that only At Your Service Weddings offers starting with a rental, non-floral centerpiece. If you already have your centerpiece designed, a collection may still interest you so keep reading. If you are not wanting a floral centerpiece, you are left to build your own. Local places rent vases or you can purchase cheap ones. No local place rents objects like marbles, feathers, or faux flowers. We have twenty pre-made centerpieces designed to stop the hassle of running from Michaels to Michaels every Sunday with that coupon to get one bag of marbles. And, after the wedding, what are you going to do with 40 lbs. of marbles? If we do not currently have a centerpiece already designed that interests you, schedule an appointment to visit our design studio and you can build your own. Our per centerpiece rental fee includes delivery, set-up, and tear-down. We do not just rent the marbles or vases to you. We work with you on designing your own centerpiece then it magically appears on your reception tables. Most centerpieces rent for between $25-$45 per table. We can work with your budget to customize something smaller but then need to include a set-up/tear-down fee. All of our centerpieces are designed to be beautiful and trendy without fresh floral. However, if you would like just a few flowers added, we can assist with that also. For most of the centerpieces, we can make color changes or substitutions upon request. Additional changes may apply. But, it gets better. Each centerpiece is part of its own collection. These are At Your Service Weddings designs. We did not just purchase bits and pieces off the internet. Some of the pieces are rented while others are for purchase. You do not need to purchase the entire collection. Each collection piece can be purchased or rented ala carte. For each of our designs, it is paired up with a coordinating linen, chair cover, cake cutter, ring bearer pillow, guest book, invitation, candy buffet, table numbers, program, hotel welcome baskets, and other items for a complete design. For non-Twin Cities residents you are welcome to buy our purchased items then take the design concept to a local rental company to work with. Are you excited to get started? Contact us for more information and forgive our terrible pictures. Professional pictures of the designs coming soon. Each collection includes a coordinating: Centerpiece Table Linen, Overlay, or Runner Chair Cover and Sash Cocktail Table Centerpiece Favors Guest Book Set of Champagne Flutes Candy Buffet Cake Cutter Cardbox Ring Bearer Pillow Flower Girl Basket Garter Unity Candle Save the Dates Invitations Table Numbers Program Thank You's Escort Cards Hotel Welcome Baskets for Guests Reception Bathroom Refresh Basket
