Is this normal? This is the venue (they also act as day of coordinator) We haven’t met since we signed the agreement contract for the wedding last year. We have emailed back and forth to talk about some things but haven’t done an in depth overview of the wedding. I’m not trying to be annoying but everyone coming to my wedding is coming from out of town so it feels like meeting a month before is asking for a last minute disaster in my opinion.

What exactly are you concerned about?

I would clarify with the venue what they are providing to you because my venue had an event coordinator or contact but this was not the same as a day of coordinator. The former is really just concerned with the venue operations and the latter would coordinate ALL of your vendors on the day of. I suspect there is a misunderstanding and that you actually need a day of coordinator - separate from the venue coordinator. Day of coordinators build the timeline often months in advance. The bulk of the service happens the month of the wedding but they definitely wouldn’t wait until the month before to start connecting with you.

The venue doesn’t care about details. You give those to the wedding planner.

You are the one setting the timeline, organizing the vendors, etc. One month out for day of person is typical. If they were helping you plan the wedding that's different. You might email and ask for any tips they have, or better ask for contact info for recent brides and ask them what they wish they knew. But the day of person just takes your timeline and makes sure it happens.

My tip.
1. Determine from the photographer their time line.
2. Ask whoever is providing entertainment( band or DJ. For what they see works best.
3. No matter what people suggest, do not leave the reception for pictures midway. You are the party. You disappear for 30 minutes, people will start exiting.
4. Mao out your timeline in 15 min increments. Include everything, toasts, F/D dance G/M dance, bouquet toss, garter toss, cake cutting, group pictures in the dance floor ( my suggestion is do a big one right off, get everyone on the dance floor and then crank the music. If you DM me happy to send you mine.
