What you need to know... Why you should hire a wedding coordinator.

Because I can’t completely let go of my journalism roots, I write a regular column for Gulf Coast Bride called "What you need to know...”  The articles provide straight talk from industry insiders for engaged couples, and in the current issue I'm looking at why you should hire a wedding coordinator... I know, I know, we’ve all seen this article a 100 times, but this one has a twist! It’s from the perspective of your other wedding vendors, and it explains how having a coordinator can save you time and money on your wedding day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Hannah Bryant Brown, Gwyne Owens, Kim Stone, Sonja Revells, and Brian Buonassissi for sharing your stories and being so generous with your wonderfully candid advice for couples getting ready to tie the knot! And, thank you, thank you, thank you to the VUE Photography chicks and Paul & Mecheal Johnson of Paul Johnson Photography for sharing your images!
