Do You Need A Wedding Coordinator?

Movies like the Wedding Planner have shown the general public the need for wedding coordinators. In the most basic sense, these people are the one who take care of everything related to your wedding. The question is, though, does a couple really need a wedding coordinator? Can’t they just do everything themselves?

To answer this question, let’s look at a scenario, which, though hypothetical at this …

Weddings in Marketing

Friday, April 6th, 2007

It used to be that weddings were only talked about in small groups, usually people involved in a recent or upcoming wedding, and there was little information to be found outside of very direct channels geared toward the 1% of our population that get married every year.

The main focus of a pre-marital counseling session is the period AFTER the wedding.
