Day #18 - The On-Site Reception Coordinator

The reception on-site coordinator or manager is there to assist couples with the planning at the reception venue.  They do not take the place of a professional wedding coordinator.  Their main goals are to handle the reception details such as catering and the bar.  When speaking with the on-site coordinators during your venue tours, make sure to ask the following questions:

• What are their restrictions when it comes to decor, outside food and beverages.
• Find out about those "add-on" costs such as cake cutting fees or corkage fees.
• Well you be the only wedding on-site that day? If no, what type of signage will they have in place for your wedding guests?
• Do they have a preferred list of vendors that you must use or is it only a "recommended" list?

Until next time...WEDologize!
