We are so grateful and glad we hired Shadé Coleman from Details Made Simple. Shadé was a pleasure to work with, she is professional, easy to talk to, organized, patient, and everything you could ask for from a coordinator. We had the peace of mind package, we found it so helpful to have those 3 meetings and walk through with her and she created a great timeline that really helped us plan and tighten up our timeline as the day got closer. We did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day, she was always right there to help and took care of everything and more than we could have asked her to. There were things that I completely forgot about for example I really wanted a photo with a specific item and Shadé was right there with the item making sure we got shots with it. Her attention to detail, ability to stay organized and calm all day long is beyond impressive. Shadé was amazing! We highly recommend Shadé Coleman and Details Made Simple. Shadé made everyone feel at ease, went above and beyond, and kept our day on and ahead of schedule, and this allowed us to be present and soak in every bit of our wedding day! There was an issue with our venue 2 weeks prior to our event and Shadé called us right away to talk with us and guide us and truly had our best interest. We are so grateful for you Shadé and thank you for everything! We highly recommend Shadé and Details Made Simple. -Lisa and Chris

We used Details Made Simple for our daughter’s wedding. Our wedding planner Shay’s work was nothing short of AMAZING! Her expertise, knowledge, and suggestions simply made the day perfect. NO way we could have done it without her. She was reassuring, dealt with all the vendors for us and kept every detail organized. Let’s talk about the wedding day: Shay and her colleague Erin kept everything running smoothly—from getting ready to transportation, to helping guests find their seats, collecting our decor—I mean they took care of everything! Our family truly enjoyed the day and we were able to be in the moment knowing they were there to make things perfect. If you are planning a wedding, don’t hesitate to use this company as your planner, you will not regret it!

We chose the Peace of Mind package and began working with Carla 3 months before our wedding day (2/20/22). Carla was amazing to work with—super responsive and always with a positive, can-do attitude that made my now-husband and I feel comfortable after every meeting. Ahead of the wedding day, she worked seamlessly with our venue and all of our vendors on sending certificates of insurance, finalizing a timeline, and arranging COVID tests for our vendors (more on that in a sec). When the Omicron surge happened, Carla helped us adapt our original wedding plan to include day-of COVID testing for all of our guests, which was no easy feat. She arranged for one of her team members, Tamara, to check every guest's COVID at-home rapid test upon entry. Even though we only hired Tamara to help us with the COVID tests, she also went above and beyond on our wedding day, assisting Carla with literally everything. I was worried about the COVID testing process going smoothly on our wedding day, but it did thanks to Tamara. So many of our guests thanked us for taking this extra precaution because it made them feel super safe and have a worry-free time. Besides this pandemic-specific help, Carla kept everything super organized and solved problems as they came up so we didn't have to (and there were probably some minor problems she solved that we don't even know about!). For example, when our florist forgot to put flowers on our cake, she repurposed my bouquet so no one would know the difference. She also gave us guidance on tipping and worked with all our vendors to ensure our event was as amazing as possible. Honestly, my now-husband thought that we didn't need a wedding coordinator because we planned so much of our wedding ourselves, but the morning after our wedding, he told me that working with Details Made Simple was worth every penny. If you have the budget for a wedding coordinator (or can sacrifice something else for one), Carla is THE BEST. Both of our families absolutely loved working with her and her team, and I credit our wedding day being as smooth and stress-free as it was to all of her hard work.

A full-service wedding planner handles everything from start to finish. A wedding planner’s tasks include the overall design and vision of wedding, keeping the couples within their budgets, contract negotiations, the hiring of vendors, as well as execution of the event vision on the day of the wedding. Full-service planners’ typical cost a percentage of the overall wedding budget. A wedding day coordinator gets involved a few weeks to a few months prior the big day, usually to help those couples who are planning the wedding themselves get ready and organized for their big day. They are logistically focused, keeping things on time and running smooth, and solve any issues that may arise. A DOC is perfect for any couple who wants to do most of the planning themselves, but when their wedding day arrives, they need a professional to execute all their hard work and planning. A lot of Wedding Coordinators cost a flat fee.
Day-of coordination services can range from $1200 to $2,800 depending on the region and expertise of the company. Wedding Day Coordinators typically cost different than a full wedding planner which sometimes can run you a percentage of your overall wedding budget.
A Wedding Day Coordinator is a wedding professional that services couples who are planning the wedding themselves, that need help and guidance during their planning process and wedding management on the day of their wedding. Day of wedding coordinators are logistically focused and available to you to get everything organized as you lead up to the day of the wedding. They are there to m sure day-of all the details that you've planned, are executed and on time.
Details Made Simple offers wedding day management services for New Jersey, NYC, Philadelphia, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware as well as Destination weddings anywhere in the world.
The biggest benefit is having the peace of mind that all the details and countless hours and time planning the perfect wedding, will come together as you always envisioned. Not only will a wedding coordinator be a resource to you during your planning, they will confirm if you are on track with things, make sure you are doing tasks on time, and take over as your big day approaches, leaving you the luxury of enjoying the time leading up to the wedding. If you are planning your wedding yourself, having a wedding day coordinator is essential! Don't leave your Maid of Honor or family to handle these details, hire a professional to ensure your day is as perfect as you planned it.
Venue Coordinator: Known as the sales manager at the venue and the person that gave venue tour and went over contractual details and menu options. They take those booked details and hand it over to the Maitre D’ who will be working your wedding. It’s likely that your venue manager will not be there the entire day and leaves once your ceremony starts. The Maitre D’: The person who manages the venue staff, making sure all goes well on the catering side of your wedding. He/she directs all communications between the kitchen and the reception space allowing for a great dining experience. While their staff can surely handle setting up your wedding items, there isn't that personal connection like a DOC would have as you don't usually meet them until the day. Their service doesn't start until you arrive at the venue. Wedding Coordinator: Works for you, services start months before, organizes all wedding details & set plans, works in tandem with Maitre D' ensuring they have the right info.
If you are planning the wedding on your own, then YES! Most couples have never planned a wedding before and need a little guidance to ensure they are doing thing efficiently and the right way. Not to mention making sure all their hard work planning the perfect day, actually goes as planned. Hiring an outside coordinator is important no matter how great your venue is, as they work for YOU and are an advocate for you! They help you before the big day and handle so much more than the venue coordinator ever will. Save yourself the headache and your sanity and get yourself a wedding coordinator. You’ve planned the best day of your life; you should enjoy it too!
Honestly, anything you need! Day of Coordinators are pretty much a gift from the Gods on your wedding day when planning the wedding yourself. They keep you organized, create a timeline and day of plan, manage all your wedding vendors, setup your wedding items and break it down at the end, get you down the aisle on time, deal with any issues that may arise day-of and do damage control, keep everyone on track and on time, make sure everyone is in the right place at the right time, help you keep your sanity and so much more! Hiring a day of coordinator is essential for any couple who wants to do most of the planning themselves, but when their wedding day arrives, they need a professional to execute all of their hard work and planning.
