The five that come up on nearly every first call. If yours isn't here, ask it on the call — that's what it's for.
For full-service planning, 9–14 months before the date is ideal — that's when venue and vendor availability is still real. Coordination-only bookings can come together as late as 8 weeks out, though I cap how many I take per weekend, so earlier is safer.
No. A venue coordinator works for the venue: their job is the building, its staff and its rules. I work for you — your vendors, your timeline, your budget, your family — and I go with you wherever the day moves.
I have relationships across Orange and Rockland Counties, New York County and the Bronx, and the mid-Hudson, and a new venue is a normal part of the job: site visit, load-in rules, vendor access, power and rain plan, all documented before we commit.
Where a vendor pays a referral fee, I tell you before you sign, and my recommendation list is never limited to vendors who do. You always see the direct quote.
Fifteen minutes, no pitch deck: your date, your venue status, your guest count and the part that's stressing you out. You leave knowing which package fits and roughly what it costs — even if that answer is "you don't need me yet."
