Planning Your Wedding
HIRING A WEDDING COORDINATOR IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOURSELF
Professional wedding coordinator Jazell Raycraft of FOR THE LOVE OF MACKINAC! says, "I like to talk with the couple about the entire wedding day to get a feel about them before I make any vendor referrals. That way I am able to tailor vendors to suit their needs, pref- erences, and budget." With a coordina- tor involved, the couple can relax and simply be guests at their own wedding. "On the day of the wedding I make sure that everyone is in the correct place and everything is where it needs to be. I am in constant contact with all your vendors. That way the couple and her families won't have to deal with any last minute issues," explains Jazell.
