It’s SO worth it - that way you and your bridal party can just enjoy the day! Having a point person to answer questions and take care of everything the day of was the best money we spent on the whole thing
We also did a destination wedding btw - someone local and familiar with the venue was a big must for us and it went off without a hitch!
I did this and it was the best decision I could've made, we were able to have socialize with the wedding party, take pictures, etc before the wedding because the planner took care of everything. Then after the we could talk with our family while the planner talked to the vendors to break down

do it. someone other than you making sure all the vendors are on schedule and doing things correctly day of is invaluable
It’s literally the most important thing you can have to ensure your days goes smoothly. Do not skimp here. Who exactly does your fiancé thing is going to be “coordinating” the million vendors for those 6-8 hours? 👀
Totally worth it, especially if the coordinator will do things leading up to the wedding! My "day of coordinator" helped us make our timeline, shared it with all our vendors and is going to be their point of contact for the day of the wedding. I feel great knowing that if a an emergency comes up, I won't be the one dealing with it! She's also been so helpful for reminding us of little details I would have totally forgotten, like a card box/gift table.
A day-of wedding coordinator can be very helpful to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day of the wedding, especially for a destination wedding. However, it's important to weigh the cost and decide if it's worth it for you. Consider reaching out to past clients or reading reviews to get a better idea of their experiences. Personally I say it’s worth it it made our day a lot less stressful and it was worth the money making our day run smoother.
I think it's absolutely worth it. You will have to worry about getting yourself and the bridal party ready you don't constantly want vendors coming to you asking how to set things up during your wedding
$1,000 is a great price and it would be WELL worth it. Vendors will need a point of contact. Even though you already have things planned out, on the day of there are always so many changes or things that need to be handled
To be honest, even if you weren't traveling you should still get a wedding coordinator. You can tell them how you want things ahead of time and they can be your second set of eyes on how to set up chairs, flowers, etc
There job will be easier since you have already secured vendors and negotiated prices. $1000 is a good price and I think your husband would really regret it if you didn't get one
I had one at my first marriage that was a friend and she offered. She had the skills as an organizational person, but not experience in the actual industry. As you might imagine, it was a hot mess. For a destination wedding, I'd go with someone reputable so you don't get stuck solving all of the problems so far away from home. If you can find it in the budget, I'd say $1K is so worth the piece of mind proportionate to the amount you're already spending to create a special day!
Do it
Definitely worth it. Absolutely necessary imo.
Do you want to feel like bride on your wedding day or an event planner?

Absolutely get a day of (better - a month of). You don’t want to be corralling everyone, keeping the timeline together, and handing out vendor tips during your own wedding
