How can you help me?

When chatting with new couples, I have found that many are confused by how an ‘On the Day’ wedding co-ordinator can actually help.

If you have been dreaming of planning your own D.I.Y wedding and putting your own personal stamp on your big day, then you are more than likely using a venue without an on-site co-ordinator.

Generally speaking this means there won’t be anyone there to ensure your special day runs smoothly, so, this is where an ‘On the Day’ co-ordinator can help.

Here are my top 5 reasons as to why using an ‘On the Day’ co-ordinator can help take all your worries away…

Number 1:

Don’t be fooled by the title ‘On the Day’! 

Although my main role is to ensure your wedding day runs smoothly, I am also here to help you with any ideas or advice you may need in the run up to your wedding. Whether you need supplier recommendations or alternative ideas in which to do something, then I am always at the end of an email for any help you may need along the way.

Number 2:

You may feel you only need a co-ordinator for part of your big day…then don’t worry your wish is my command! 

Being flexible with timings means I can help you with the parts you actually need help with, resulting in a tailored quote to fit within your budget.

Number 3: 

It’s not just me! 

If you need extra team members to run your bar or waiting staff to serve and clear tables, then I can bring however many professional and experienced hands you may need on your special day.

Number 4:

Having an ‘On the Day’ co-ordinator means you don’t have to rely on your family and friends for help. There is no need to ask your mum to run around doing jobs as we will ensure everything is under control so that ALL of your guests can let their hair down!

Number 5:

Most importantly, knowing there is an ‘On the Day’ co-ordinator with a team on hand for any job big or small, means YOU can relax, enjoy yourself and have the day you have been dreaming of… 

STRESS FREE!

Your DIY wedding planning journey can be hard work with a lot to think about and organise. For that reason it is important you actually enjoy your day without having to worry about who will do what jobs and when.

In my opinion a DIY wedding is the perfect type of wedding as you can put your stamp on it and make it your own. Natalie and Jake had planned the most stunning DIY wedding at Bake Barn in Wiltshire and needed help with co-ordination on the day. Taking my team we made sure their day ran smoothly and to their time-plan doing all the jobs that needed doing. This meant they could enjoy every minute of their day with their friends and family - stress free!

Planning a DIY wedding is always so much fun but on the day there are so many jobs that need doing. Bex and Graham planned a beautiful and relaxed wedding at Warborne Farm in Lymington, Hampshire where the Tasha Mae team were able to help ensure all the jobs were done and their day ran smoothly so they didn't need to worry about a thing!

Planning your own DIY wedding can be hard work but also so much fun. Emily and Dom planned their own tipi wedding at their family home in Wiltshire. Taking the Tasha Mae team along to help with on the day co-ordination, we made sure all their carefully thought out plans ran like clockwork and to their tailored time-plan.

You have to love a marquee wedding in a field overlooking the sea, which is exactly what Keely and Dan planned for their big day. The Tasha Mae team loved co-ordinating their special DIY day and despite the strong winds and rain we all had a fabulous time ensuring everything ran like clockwork.

Winter weddings can be just as beautiful as summer weddings and after co-ordinating Jake and Laura's big day in December, I can most certainly vouch for that! You don't need to think of a theme with a twinkling Christmas tree, roaring fire and mince pies as canapes, what more could you ask for? Not only that but you don't need to worry about the weather as you've already planned it for the winter so you know what to aim for!

The beauty of planning your own DIY wedding is you can do exactly as you wish and after co-ordinating Cassie and Oliver's, I have to say there is something to be said for having your wedding at home in your back garden. With a relaxed, almost zen vibe, Cassie and Oliver had the most beautiful chilled out wedding day in the comfort of their family home and garden.

Deciding on your wedding decor is the fun part but on the day you might need some help putting everything in place whilst you get ready to tie the knot. Rachel and Ben had planned a DIY marquee wedding and needed some help in the morning of their big day to make sure their venue looked pretty and just as they wanted before everyone arrived.

As an on the day wedding co-ordinator so many of the weddings I co-ordinate are in the summer, which means the majority of my imagery are of bright sunny weddings. For that reason, I thought it was about time I showed everyone that winter weddings can be just as beautiful and somewhat mystical!
