    • Final timeline review and refinement based on client-provided planning details

    • Creation and distribution of a comprehensive wedding-day execution timeline

    • Vendor communication and final confirmations

    • Lead Event Manager on-site for up to ten (8) hours of wedding-day coordination (with option to add hours)

EXTRA GUIDANCE?
