DIY weddings can be incredibly personal and a fun way to infuse your unique style into the celebration. Whether it’s designing your own wedding favors, creating your own décor, or even planning your own schedule, adding your own touch can make the event feel more meaningful. However, while DIYing parts of your wedding is fantastic, there are a few key areas to keep in mind to avoid unexpected fees, unnecessary stress, or frustrated venues.

When planning an event, it’s easy to assume that one person can handle all the details, but in reality, different types of coordinators play unique and crucial roles. Two common positions often confused are the venue event coordinator and the day-of coordinator. While both work toward ensuring your event runs smoothly, their responsibilities and focus areas are distinct.
