Why you should hire a wedding Coordinator?

You might be thinking that your venue already has a coordinator?
However, there is a difference between a wedding coordinator and a venue coordinator...
A venue coordinator coordinates the venue; ensuring the venue is clean, staff knows what to do, food preparations, and everything that has to do with the VENUE.
