Your Wedding Musicians Want You to Hire A Coordinator
From engagement to honeymoon, weddings often take two or more years to plan.
Invitations must be sent out, linens must be chosen, and five or more vendors must be hired. Sure, you have a point of contact with each vendor you hire, but what you don’t see are the dozens of professionals working behind the scenes. Those professionals need to rally around a single wedding timeline. This calls for some serious organization and communication.
This is why we love when our couples hire coordinators. Your coordinator is our point of contact. They are the person who knows what the heck is going on. Having a coordinator streamlines the day for your vendors, and therefore, allows your celebration to be stress free.

“...couples who have coordinators ... tend to enjoy their weddings more. ”
Now, don’t get us wrong. A professional wedding vendor (from your caterer to your forist) should be capable of functioning without an event coordinator. At SpeechLess, we’re happy to manage the reception timeline, track down parents to coordinator dances, organize the group for toasts and more. But the experience is always smoother for everyone involved if we have a dedicated point person. After a decade in this industry, we’ve found that couples who have coordinators - or at least a dedicated point person - tend to enjoy their weddings more.
