Wedding Planning Check List

Hiring Wedding Vendors

A wedding day is comprised of multiple vendors coming together to create the perfect ceremony and reception. The wedding planner presents the bride, groom, parents or any other party involved in the planning process with options for each vendor service. This includes rental equipment, caterers, reception venues, florists, cake and dress designers, a DJ or band, an officiant, and any other wedding necessities. The planner offers recommendations of vendors with whom she has had a pleasant past experience. The planner will note the bride and groom's style and requirements and relay this information to each vendor to ensure the couple is pleased with all aspects of the wedding day.

Communication

The planner maintains all contact and communication with the vendors. If the vendors have a question or concern, the planner can usually address these issues without involving the couple. If necessary, the planner will relay any questions to the bride or groom and then report back to the vendor. The wedding coordinator must make certain that all vendors arrive on time on the day of the event. Each vendor should have the coordinator's cell phone number in the event of an emergency.

Working with the Wedding Party

The coordinator must instruct the bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, ring bearers, parents and officiant on how to stage the ceremony and make entrances at the beginning of the reception. This often involves working with the musicians or DJ to ensure attendants enter and exit at the correct time. The coordinator should also instruct the best man and maid of honor when to give their speech during dinner. If any attendants have issues or questions on the day of the wedding, they should direct them to the coordinator instead of the bride, groom or parents.

Assisting on the Wedding Day
The coordinator is available to assist the bride and groom with whatever they need on the day of the wedding. The coordinator is armed with hairspray, mints, tissues, makeup, perfume and anything else the bride may need immediately before the ceremony or reception. The coordinator may need to help the bride bustle her dress after the ceremony, provide more comfortable shoes, or assist with hair and makeup touch-ups.

Destination weddings to the Okanagan - Absolute DJS Kelowna

Your destination wedding dj specialist to the Okanagan!

"I would highly recommend Mark from Absolute DJS Kelowna. He did a phenomenal job as the disc jockey for our wedding. We loved the music, as did our guests. I think it says a lot that my friends in their 20s and 30s told me that the music selection was fantastic, and so did my 85 year old Grandma. My parents' friends danced up a storm, and so did the young people! We really appreciate your great song choices and the way you made the night flow so smoothly. Thanks again!" – Katie Ropchan

DeeJay Absolute - Review

“If you are looking for an amazing dj who can keep the dance floor full from the first dance to the last, look no further than Mark Vanderende of Absolute DJS. I have worked with Mark before, as well as been a guest at parties where he has dj’ed, and I can honestly say that his music made them some of the best parties I’ve been to. He knows how to read the crowd, and play songs that everyone will love, no matter what age. He’s great at taking requests, and strives to make the dance floor a fun place for even the most reluctant dancer. He is also great to work with during the planning phase of the event: he was easy to get ahold of whenever we had questions, and was extremely open to suggestions and feedback. Mark truly wants to make your event a memorable one, as well as a fun one. Everyone knows the best part of a party is the music, and for that there is no doubt that Mark Vanderende and Absolute DJS are the ones you want. I would strongly urge anyone planning a party, whether it be a corporate event or a wedding, to call Mark Vanderende and his team. I guarantee you won’t regret it.” – Daniela Endersby
