Month & Day of Coordination

Questionnaire & Communication

When you book with Sunflower Wedding Coordination, you'll get access to a wedding day questionnaire that details all things about your special day - ranging from your decor, to song choices, to how you'd like to be announced during your reception. This questionnaire is helpful while you plan to help capture each detail, but also helps Sunflower Wedding Coordination understand each and every aspect of your special day. 6 weeks prior to your wedding, we will review your wedding details and your questionnaire. We will have unlimited email and text communication.

Final Venue Walk-Through

Between 6 weeks and 30 days prior to your wedding, we will meet at your venue to complete a final walk-through. Typically, your caterer and venue manager are invited to this meeting. This walkthrough takes about 1 to 2 hours. After the meeting, Sunflower Wedding Coordination will begin crafting a day-of timeline with all details of your wedding.

Timeline & Floorplan Creation

About 2-4 weeks prior to your wedding, we will work to finalize your timeline and floor plans for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Once approved by you, timelines and floorplans will be shared with all your vendors so everyone knows exactly what to expect. The average timeline is 14-18 pages because we want to ensure it captures all details of your special day!

Final Vendor Confirmation

At least 2 weeks prior to your wedding, Sunflower Wedding Coordination will contact all vendors to confirm day-of details and coordinate any other needs. Sunflower Wedding Coordination will also serve as the main point of contact during your 6-week period to allow you to relax!

Rehearsal Coordination

Sunflower Wedding Coordination will attend 1 hour of your rehearsal to coordinate the ceremony and reception details.
