This package is designed if you are using vendors: Cake delivery and set up, Florist doing set up, DJ/band, Wedding Planner… The main function of this package is directing your vendors and maintaining the timeline during the event. If you have more than 4 vendors, an Added Assistant is needed to help in directing vendors as well as implementing the decor set up.

With this package, we set up the dining room: tables, chairs, place settings, set out your table chart and the welcome area.

*An Added Assistant is required if you have a guest count of over 120, elaborate table chart which requires arranging, escort cards, flowers that need to be moved from ceremony to Apple House, bite size desserts that need to be arranged and set out, heavily decorated tables…

Added Assistant

For DIY brides, larger, more elaborate weddings and weddings over 120 guests

Additional Wedding Day Assistance Needed 

additional $200

*Assistants are necessary if your guest count is over 120 guests, more than 4 or 5 vendors, large bridal parties, lots of decor details including escort cards, bite size dessert displays, and areas of extra setup. 

Assistants allow for plenty of time to set up, style and direct all parties involved- the serving staff, farm staff, vendors and wedding party.

Assistants are needed  for weddings where there are more than 4 or 5 vendors i.e ceremony musicians and a band for the receptions, cake and gelato cart, videographer, photo booth and photographer, etc… It is important for me to have enough time to set up and direct all the vendors to the appropriate areas. The more people involved, the more organizing time it takes!

If you are having a DIY wedding: friends brings pies/cake/ desserts, bite size desserts to be put on display, iPod reception dancing, DIY flowers, photo displays, arranginelaborate seating chart…Any and all of these items take up extra time outside of the normal set up time and require additional help. With the Basic Day Of Coordinating package, we only have enough time to set up the main dining room and the welcome area. If you are anticipating other areas of decor an assistant is required.
