We don’t offer a traditional “day-of coordinator” because that role can mean different things to different people, and we want to avoid any confusion.

While this team member isn’t a full coordinator, their goal is to ensure your day goes smoothly and stays stress-free. We do recommend hiring a professional wedding coordinator, and we’re happy to share trusted referrals if you’d like.

For couples choosing our one-day rental option, please note the venue is often booked the evening before. However, we do allow a one-hour rehearsal on a weeknight prior to your wedding.

  • For Friday weddings, we recommend starting around 5:00 p.m., and for Saturdays, between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.
