Day-Of Coordinator Timeline Tips

How early should the coordinator arrive?

At least 30 minutes before the first vendor. This gives you time to do a full venue walkthrough, confirm access points, review the floor plan on-site, and be ready to direct the first delivery.

Why include a lunch buffer for the wedding party?

A 30-60 minute buffer between morning prep and afternoon photos prevents the day from feeling rushed. It also gives the coordinator time to check on vendor progress and adjust timing if anything has shifted.

How do you handle the ceremony-to-reception flip?

Cocktail hour is your flip window. While guests are occupied, the coordinator directs ceremony breakdown, reception setup, and vendor transitions. Build at least 90 minutes between ceremony end and reception start.

What's the difference between this and a vendor run of show?

This is the coordinator's complete playbook with buffer windows, progress checks, and cue management. A vendor run of show is a simplified version shared with each vendor showing only their relevant arrival, service, and load-out times.
