What does a day-of wedding coordinator do?

We finalize timelines and layouts, confirm vendors, run your rehearsal, manage setup, direct the ceremony and reception, and handle issues so you can enjoy your day.

How much does day-of coordination cost?

Our day-of coordination package is $1,495. If you need additional hours or add-ons, we can discuss adjustments. Check availability.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book 3–6 months in advance. Popular dates in Austin fill quickly; reach out as soon as you have confirmed your venue and know your wedding date.

How do we book Spotlight for our wedding day?

After a quick call to confirm fit and expectations, we’ll send an event agreement. A non‑refundable deposit secures your date. Get started.

I think I need more than 8 hours on my wedding day. Can we add time?

Yes. Depending on your timeline and tasks, we can add extra hours. We’ll also review the schedule together in advance to ensure coverage where you need it most. Contact us to tailor coverage.

Do you attend the rehearsal?

Yes. We lead or assist with the rehearsal (typically 1 hour) and ensure everyone knows their cues for the wedding day.

Will you work with our vendors?

Absolutely. We confirm all vendors the week of the wedding, share the timeline, coordinate arrivals, and serve as their main point of contact on the day.

Can you attend a venue planning meeting or site visit?

Yes. A site visit is included in our Day‑Of package to review layouts, guest logistics, and weather plans. We can also coordinate with your venue and vendors during that time.

Do you carry general liability insurance for venues?

Absolutely. Spotlight Event Planning carries general liability insurance that meets most venue requirements. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance.

I don’t see a service listed. Can you still do it?

It depends on the task. Our package is comprehensive, and many items are already included. If it’s outside scope, we may be able to add it for an additional fee. Let’s discuss.
