Some reasons why I think a professional on-the-day wedding coordinator is a must:
1. Stress-free wedding. The least I wanted to be during my wedding is to be the stressed-bride. I have been to weddings without coordinators and I tell you- the bride is always always a mess. I didn't want that for my wedding. I wanted to be the happy bride. That's the reason why coordinators are there. They make sure you have a stress-free wedding by taking care of the details while you get to enjoy the moment. You don't want to be answering phone calls from suppliers while your makeup artist is doing your makeup. You need a coord to do that for you.
2. They know what to do. some brides think that their friends can be the coordinator on their wedding day because they underestimate the knowledge of coordinators. They thought wedding is just an ordinary event that friends who had experiences in handling birthdays, debuts, etc, can be their coordinators. Sure they can- but the quality and the knowledge of true coordinators are what you need in your wedding day. I have been to a wedding without a coor, and boy, the bride is looking for her wedding bible and pillows. You don't want to be that bride. You need a coord to mind those little details for you.
2. They will help you carry out your wedding plans. For a year, I did the whole planning for my own wedding. We went to fairs, we go to different wedding venues, we calculated the expenses, we meet with suppliers. But on the day itself, I let go of all these stress and relay everything to my coord. My coordinators did everything so they can execute my plans and imagination for my wedding day.
3. They will make sure you are on time. It's hard to keep phase with your wedding if you do not have a coordinator. That being said, you coor will make sure you are not late, nor too early to your schedule. Time is really hard to keep when you are too busy so you need someone to do it for you.
4. You will have all the assistance that you need. - You will need an overall assistant on the day of your wedding. Need water? Need safety pin? Your coor will give you whatever assistance you need. I tell you, it is hard to rely on your friends to do these things because they are also as busy as you.
5. You don't have to worry about Guests' queries. - Also, your guests will ask you a lot of things on your wedding day (where to go, place and time, etc. and you need your coor to answer all these queries.
6. You will have an over-all organized wedding. - I have been to weddings that has coord, and weddings that do not. You can clearly point out the difference of the two.
With all that in mind, let me now review one of my favorite suppliers, my Coordinators, Quintessence Philippines.
Cristel, the owner of Quintessence, is one of my colleagues back in the day, and when she learned Mimel and I were getting married, she then contacted me and told me about their wedding planning services. I admit I was hesitant to get an on-the-day coor because I thought I can ask my friends and family to do that for me.
But then, after being told by a lot of bride about the importance of wedding day coor, I finally decided to get one.
What made me hire Quintessence is not just because Cristel is a dear friend. I tell you I was really objective during my wedding planning because I was approached by a lot of friends who own wedding-related businesses. What draw me to her was when she told me, upon learning I already have another coor in mind, that I should always look for someone who can deliver "service", because after all, coordinators sell something intangible. Right then and there I knew I have found my Coor, someone whom I can entrust my wedding day to, someone who can deliver, someone who can help me have my dream wedding.
The following paragraph is the review I put on their FB page:

The following paragraph is the review I put on their FB page:
I can't thank Quintessence enough for making our Big Day a memorable one. They are so organized, very detailed, and well-coordinated. They helped me in making my wedding vision a reality. I enjoyed our day because it was hussle-free, zero stress, and everything went well so smoothly. My coors are so trustworthy and they assisted me in all ways they can-- they even cleaned my engagement ring for me! All my guests are complimenting us for having such a beautiful wedding-- thanks to Quintessence for making this possible. We couldn't have done it without their help. I highly recommend this team for future brides and grooms. If I could give 10-100 stars, I definitely would just to prove how good this team is.
As what Cristel said, Coors sell their service so it's really hard for me to show what they can really do. All I know is that I am so happy I put my trust on them. I know my wedding day will not be as organized as it was without them.
