FAQ
-
Do I need a day-of wedding coordinator?
Yes…but not in the way you might think. What most couples call “day-of coordination” actually starts weeks before the wedding. Without that prep time, too many details can slip through the cracks. A coordinator ensures everything runs smoothly, so you can actually enjoy your day instead of managing logistics.
-
What's the difference between a day-of coordinator and a month-of coordinator?
“Day-of” is often misunderstood…it implies someone shows up only on the wedding day. In reality, effective coordination starts at least 4–8 weeks prior. Month-of coordination includes vendor communication, timeline creation, final walkthroughs, and all the groundwork necessary for seamless execution.
-
How far in advance should I book a month-of coordinator in the Bay Area or Northern California?
I recommend booking at least 6–12 months in advance, especially for high-demand dates in San Francisco, Napa, and Sonoma. While my services begin 2 months prior to the wedding, securing your spot early ensures you’re on my calendar and have peace of mind.
-
Do you work with LGBTQA+ couples?
Yes, always. I believe love is love and every couple deserves to be celebrated with respect, care, and joy. My planning process is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in kindness.
-
Where do you work? Do you travel?
I serve the Bay Area and Northern California (San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Peninsula, North Bay, Napa, Sonoma, Sacramento, Monterey, and Carmel). I also take select destination weddings with travel arrangements.
-
What kind of weddings do you specialize in?
I specialize in multicultural, fusion, and interfaith weddings. That includes Indian and South Asian celebrations blended with Western or other cultural traditions, with thoughtful guidance on honoring families and values.
-
Do you offer day-of coordination?
I offer Month-Of Coordination, which is more effective than “day-of.” We start 6–8 weeks prior to build your run-of-show, confirm vendors, walk through venues, and manage the full day.
-
Will you be on site on the wedding day?
Yes. I am your on-site lead, and I staff assistants based on guest count (although I will always have an assistant for events more than 50 people), venues, and program complexity so the day runs smoothly.
-
Do you plan micro-weddings or elopements with multicultural elements?
Yes. I plan intimate weddings and elopements that fit smaller venues and timelines. Reach out to learn about my intimate wedding packages.
