Does a bride need an on-the-day coordinator?

Yes, because on the day of the wedding, the bride will be too preoccupied to act as overseer, timekeeper, and time manager. It also isn’t ideal for the bride’s relatives to act as on-the-day coordinator because the load of work will rob them off of the opportunity to enjoy the wedding. More often than not, the relatives assigned to coordinate the day of the wedding tend to forget that there is a coordination task for them to do because they get caught up in greeting their relatives.

When does a bride need a coordinator?

When all of the suppliers have been booked and the bride is just waiting for the big day. Or earlier is also more advisable as the coordinator can also serve as consultant for the couple about other wedding concerns that they have.
