The Wedding Host and Singer

The Wedding Host and Singer
  When the ceremony ends, your duties begin. This is what the master of the show pointed out. Main goal as host and hostess at the wedding reception will be to greet the guests. Leave the church or ceremony site well in advance of the guests to assure that you arrive promptly to the reception site. If possible, ask before the wedding day if anything needs to be transported to the reception. When you get there, check in and ask if any assistance is needed with the tables or decorations.

Greet the guests graciously and introduce yourself if you don't know them. Point them in the direction of the guestbook and gift table. Later on, you can kick back and have some fun. Try to keep an eye on the door and meet any late arrivals to give them a quick update.

When planning a wedding, the bride and groom have the time-honored task of choosing people they care about to be a part of their wedding party. Each position is an honor and has a unique set of duties.

This is what my friends doing as of now, Entertaining people while the show must go on. I've met this couples as host and hostess in my niece 18th birthday and this two is not only good in hosting but good singer as well.

 Since host and hostess knows everything about  their job it is important to  maintain the harmony, the sacred and formality of the program. However, the succeed of the wedding ceremony is in the hands of the host. If the master of the show doesn't know what to do the entire program will be dead. It is also important a presence of mind, smart poise, active, and energetic as well. Make some joke to make the whole guest alive. Let the guest participate to the program and do some tricks for them.

The groom and the bride expected much what the host can do to the entire program.

Wedding Coordinator vs w/o Wedding Coordinator

Good day fellas,  First, let me say that I was planning on doing my next inspiration series post. I’ve been trying to rehash my planning experience as it happened, for the most part, but this next “shout out” doesn’t fall into that sequence. Now that I’m so close to my wedding event days, this event has really been a huge part and I think anyone looking for a wedding planner or coordinator should know about mine.

Question to myself and always asking Why need to hired WEDDING COORDINATOR? do you think it was the best way for you to make the wedding successfully? Do you think it is important? What are the benefits that wedding coordinator will do to you. 
  I want you to read this important tips with having wedding coordinator.

What Can a Wedding Coordinator Do For Me?
 Here are a few of the duties you can expect
AMSWEDS Wedding Planner and Coordinator
  • Help you to create the type of wedding you want. With that knowledge you'll be able to pick your venue, vendors, colour scheme, theme, music, etc.
  • Help you create a budget sheet and keep track of where your money is going and how much is still owing.
  • Help keep you on your budget and not go over...too much!!
  • Suggest vendors that fit your budget and ideas.
  • Make a wedding planning schedule so that you know what you've done and what still needs to be done.
  • In most cases a coordinator can save you money because of their connection in the industry.
  • Take care of any emergencies that arise.
  • Create a wedding day schedule.  
 How Do I Find a Good Wedding Coordinator?

As with all other wedding vendors, word of mouth is always good, bridal shows or ask other wedding vendors about coordinators that they've seen at other weddings. Call first and see if you like them over the phone. If you don't then don't bother wasting time with the appointment.
  • A professional wedding coordinator will have taken a wedding coordinator /consultant /planner course and   have a diploma to show for it.
  • Call the organization on the certificate to make sure that it existsl.
  • Is the coordinator organized?
  • Do you feel comfortable with them?
  • Are they friendly?
  • Do they know their stuff?
  • Does they have any references?
  • How long have they been in business?
  • Are they within your budget?
  • Are they computer literate?
  • Do they have another job or do they coordinate full time? It's not necessary for your coordinator to  only work at planning weddings but it is better because they will have to contact your vendors during business hours. You can check our Wedding Coordinator by clicking here

After finding a good Wedding Coordinator the next question is how about the budget? Budget to pay my Wedding Coordinator. Is my budget enough? Is there any packages to choice from?

Consultation only: This is like a mini wedding planning course, best taken at the beginning of your planning. The coordinator won't be at your wedding but will teach you the skills to planning your own day. Some will charge by the hour, others by the meeting. You can book one meeting only or go back as many times as you like.
Planning Preparation: Along with consultation they will save you time by listening to your needs and booking appointments for you with vendors, that meet those needs.
  • They contact these vendors and describe what you want, what your budget is, if they're available on your date. This way the vendors already know about you when you walk in the door.
  • They will help you put together a wedding binder, making it easier to keep track of things.
  • They will make a floor plan for the vendors and a wedding day schedule.
Full Wedding Day Package: A coordinator can be hired for the wedding day alone. She will direct the events of the day and make sure everyone around you is doing their job. Should any emergencies happen she will take care of them. Although a coordinator is hired for one days work, in actual fact they have been working on your wedding, anywhere from 30-50 hours before the day actually get there, getting prepared. You should meet with the coordinator at least once if not twice to go over the details of your wedding. Any coordinator that says no meeting are needed isn't a professional. You can check the rates and packages here.

Now lets move on to the next one. What if I don't want to hire Wedding Coordinator. What is the advantage and disadvantage of not having Wedding Coordinator?

This is the Wedding without having Wedding Coordinator
A wedding is supposed to be a wonderful day, but without Wedding Coordinator you can do everything by your own and there is a lot of stress that the couple could get. Spending so much time, money etc. Thinking everything from planning till the end of the wedding day.There are only few advantages of not hiring Wedding Coordinator. One is less expenses to the wedding coordinator.










Now we already know the importance of having a Wedding Coordinator, We encourage all couple who's plan of getting married  out there to choose and to think what is suitable for you.

How excited you must be, yet at the same time somewhat anxious as you begin to plan one of the most exciting days of your life.

Here some frequently questions all about Wedding Coordinator.

1. Why do I need coordinator?  After all, I’m organized?
Answer: Your wedding is likely the largest, most elaborate party that you will ever plan. An experienced wedding coordinator works to assist you all details on your wedding day and most importantly the wedding day you plan that you may enjoy, instead of work that day. Don’t underestimate the amount of time she will save you, which is what makes this service most valuable to busy bride. A coordinator  is an absolute necessity on the day of your wedding. If not, Do you want to line-up your wedding party? Check the arrival of Principal Sponsors? Do you want to pin corsages to your Principal sponsors? Do you make sure guests are all seated? Your  dream wedding you work on it?  Why would you want to work on that day? Look At You Bride! 

2With Friends and Family willing to help, Why should I hire a Coordinator?
Answer: Although that is very sweet gesture of showing support, well meaning friends and family member are not trained for that. When you hire a coordinator, all details of wedding preparations are worked out in advance so  that no important details are forgotten. The coordinator then carries out the wishes of bride during  her  wedding day and leaves the bride, her mother and friends free to enjoy the day. After all your wedding is for them also to cherish. Now, if  you are pretty sure that your chosen friends and relatives can handle the wedding details and very much willing to work during the day, we encourage you not to hire a coordinator anymore. Lucky Bride!  

3.Would I be sure that my wedding is perfect if I hired Coordinator? Answer: We don’t  want to give you a politician speech here. Truth is, there is no perfect  wedding but there is  such thing as Wonderful Wedding  and that is what we are always  trying to achieve. Wonderful Weddings  are ultimately the result  of two happy people celebrating one great love in the company of their great families and friends so never mind if  the cake doesn’t taste good,  the flowers are not kind your expect and the venue how it big or small. People will forget all those stuff easily  until  they see your two smiling radiantly and celebrating this joyous moment feeling the air with love …well, I bet they’ll say “how wonderful their wedding is.”
