A venue coordinator can be very beneficial to both you as well as your wedding planner. A venue coordinator will have the best knowledge of the venue and will know what works best for their space, staff, and with their restrictions so you can plan accordingly. They will know the ins and outs of their location because they have seen many weddings at their site. However, a venue manager will not handle everything! A wedding planner is someone you should hire from the start of the wedding planning process or several months before your wedding day. They will work with every aspect of your wedding, not just the location. They will prepare your wedding day timeline, be a liaison between you and your vendors, cue you down the aisle, and make sure everything is running smoothly and to schedule. At Sweet Blossom Weddings, we would be more than happy to work with an onsite coordinator, catering manager, or banquet staff that is available in your venue package as we see it is beneficial to our services as well. We are here to make sure you can relax and enjoy your special day.

The venue has a venue coordinator. What is the difference between a venue coordinator and a wedding planner?

We are equipped with industry knowledge and creative design sense. With our extensive experience in the wedding industry and our friendly and personable staff, we have established our reputation for being one of the most sought after wedding planners in San Diego. 
All of our services include three planners on the day of your wedding. The Lead Planner is your main go-to planner who will be there from beginning to end troubleshooting the day and making sure everything is handled flawlessly! The second planner is a Set Up Assistant who will help set up your personal items (i.e. programs, menus, favors, escort cards, framed photos, etc). The third planner is a Bridal Concierge who will be your personal assistant throughout the day. She will help make sure you get everything you need without having to worry or stress about a thing. She will also help maintain the schedule throughout the day.

WHAT makes you different than other planners?

One of the most important reasons to hire a wedding planner is to alleviate your stress throughout the planning process as well as on the day of your wedding. A wedding planner will help you enjoy being engaged as well as make you feel like a guest on your special day. Another reason is to help save you time spent researching and planning. A planner will help find qualified vendors that fit your budget, style, and needs, as well as attend any meetings and help negotiate contracts. They can assist you with your budget spreadsheet and help you save money by navigating through the often confusing language of wedding industry price tags. A wedding planner is not there to make decisions for you, but to guide you in making an informed decision. Their training, knowledge, and experience will turn your dreams and expectations into reality so you can enjoy this special time with your family and friends.

Why should we book a wedding planner?

How many weddings do you plan per year? Per month? Per week?

We are a full service wedding boutique where we pride ourselves on spending quality one-on-one time with each and every client, truly making them feel special. By choice, each of our lead planners take maximum 20 weddings per year. We typically take no more than three weddings per month and only one wedding per weekend.

Is the planner I meet with (at my complimentary consultation) going to be the same planner I work with the entire time, or will I be assigned a different planner? And what about on the day of the wedding?

Your lead planner will be assigned to you immediately following your first call sales call for our larger packages. Although we do work as a team behind the scenes, your lead planner will be your main contact throughout all of planning and on your wedding day. 
For our Pear Blossom package, you will be assigned one our lead planners no later than five months prior to your wedding. Your lead planner will be your main contact from that point on until your last dance on your wedding day. We also provide two assistants on the day-of your wedding. One is a bridal assistant and one is a set-up assistant.
