• Why do you need cancellation insurance?

  

  As a wedding planner in Florida, I understand how beautiful and romantic a beach wedding can be. However, I also understand the risks that come with planning a wedding during hurricane season. That’s why it’s essential for couples planning a wedding in Florida to consider purchasing wedding insurance, particularly when it comes to protecting against the potential damage caused by hurricanes.

  First and foremost, wedding insurance can provide financial protection in the event of a cancellation or postponement due to a hurricane. While no one wants to think about the possibility of a hurricane ruining their big day, the reality is that it can happen. With wedding insurance, couples can have peace of mind knowing that they won’t be out of pocket for any non-refundable expenses, such as deposits or venue fees, if their wedding needs to be cancelled or postponed due to a hurricane.

  Additionally, wedding insurance can provide coverage for damage or loss caused by a hurricane. This can include damage to the wedding venue, loss of wedding gifts or personal items, or even damage to the wedding dress. Without insurance, couples could be left facing significant expenses to repair or replace items that were damaged or lost due to a hurricane.

  It’s important to note that not all wedding insurance policies provide coverage for hurricanes, so it’s crucial to read the policy carefully to understand what is and isn’t covered. In some cases, hurricane coverage may be offered as an add-on to the policy, so it’s important to consider all available options when purchasing wedding insurance.

  In addition to purchasing wedding insurance, there are other steps that couples can take to help protect their wedding day from the potential impacts of a hurricane. This can include choosing a wedding venue that has a strong hurricane preparedness plan in place, as well as having a contingency plan in case of a hurricane. This could include having an indoor backup location or rescheduling the wedding to a different date if a hurricane is expected to hit.

  In conclusion, wedding insurance is a crucial investment for couples planning a wedding in Florida, particularly during hurricane season. By providing financial protection in the event of a cancellation or postponement due to a hurricane, as well as coverage for damage or loss caused by a hurricane, wedding insurance can give couples peace of mind knowing that they’re protected against unforeseen circumstances.

They also work closely in making your visions come true, by assisting clients with specific Wedding activities. They also ensure that everything on the big day runs smoothly and goes according to plan. Most full service wedding planners include design services to help couples select color palettes, decor, rentals, lighting, and overall aesthetic that carries through the entire event and reception.

  7. You’re not familiar with the Destination/Area
  8. You’re hosting your wedding in an unusual space, or have a vision for a different kind of venue.

  

  Wedding Coordinators

   A Wedding Coordinator is usually on a way smaller timeline than a Wedding Planner. They will confirm vendor contracts for you, and create a simple day-of plan. They will also help you stay organized by double checking guest counts, and making sure payments are in order. They will not be in charge of your budget, or be involved in early planning phases. They usually start their planning process with you a month before your wedding, and make sure that everything you’ve done up to that point is correct, they’ll make little tweaks for you if need be. On the Wedding day, they stand in as the main planner, and execute the setup and takedown of everything at the proposed venue. 

  Wedding Coordinator Duties

  1. Puts in at least 25 hours.
  2. Meets with you four weeks before the wedding to get a handle on what you’ve planned so far for your wedding.
  3. Check in with your vendors to review the signed contracts and confirm their plans and logistics.
  4. Creates detailed timelines for the day of. 
  5. Completes a final walk-through of the ceremony and reception sites.
  6. Addresses any overlooked details last minute
  7. Manages the rehearsal with clients.
  8. Oversees everything on the wedding day. 

  Here’s when you should hire a Wedding Coordinator  

  1. You’re the kind of bride that wants to control every aspect of your wedding yourself, but need some reassurance from a professional to clear up any misunderstandings.
  2. You’re extremely organized and detail-oriented and have done your own wedding planning research.
  3. You don’t have the budget for a full-service wedding planner or just don’t want one.

  Before Making the Final Decision, We feel it’s important you know

  1. Always consider the Cost and the Amount of money you have to spend. 
  2. Book ahead of time. As soon as you know your wedding date! (Don’t wait until the month of if you’re using a coordinator) . 
  3. Consider the Pros & Cons of both! 
  4. Call either professional and ask questions to figure out which one you want.
