To demonstrate the need of a really good day-of coordinator on your wedding day, I'm just going to share a list of things I've taken care of that couples will never know I took care:
Created an extra table for unexpected guests (complete with meals and place cards)
Replaced a leaking water container
Supplemented missing tips for vendors*
Created an on-the-fly reception music playlist (x3 - please hire a DJ)
Cleaned up broken glass
Picked up more ice
Provided direction assistance
Jumped in the kitchen to help cook dinner
Rearranged and placed centerpieces that arrived looking terrible
Stepped in as a second photographer
Assisted with the attachment of boutonnières
Served meals
Cut the cake (I don't recommend letting me do this again)
Parked cars
Assembled place cards that were missing
Rearranged appetizer platters
Escorted guests to their seats
Stopped traffic
Picked up a vendor
Printed new signs
Helped decorate cupcakes
Wrote MC speech
This is by no means an exhaustive list, AND this not meant to scare you! The simple fact is that something will absolutely go wrong on your wedding day and it would kinda suck if you were forced out of the moment to deal with something. So even if you don't hire me, please hire someone - I pinky promise you won't regret it!
*I absolutely let the couple know about this one, but a week later so they didn't need to stress in the moment
