- ### Do you offer day of coordination?
  
  
  
  We offer month-of coordination so we can "do it right". This way we'll have the time to fully own the logistics and catch anything missing, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
  
  A helpful analogy:
  
  - Hiring a **day-of coordinator** is like asking someone to direct a play without ever reading the script or attending a rehearsal.
  
  - With **month-of**, you’re giving your coordinator the time to study the script, meet the cast, help tighten up the scene changes, and then run the show smoothly.
  
  With that said, every wedding's needs are different. If you want a true day-of coordination please reach out and discuss!
- ### Do I still need a coordinator if the venue has one?
  
  
  
  Great question! We wrote a blog about this topic and you can check it out **[HERE](https://joysmithco.com/blog/the-difference-between-a-venue-coordinator-and-a-wedding-coordinator)**<https://joysmithco.com/blog/the-difference-between-a-venue-coordinator-and-a-wedding-coordinator>. In a nutshell, we have different roles during the wedding and are both important to have! Venue coordinators prioritizes the venue's interests, while wedding coordinators prioritizes **you** and your vision!

### **The difference between venue coordinator and wedding coordinator**

 By Jennifer, on Jul 11, 2025 3:01:03 PM

Do I still need a wedding coordinator if the venue already has one? This is by far one of the most common questions...
