As a Lead Wedding Coordinator, you will play a pivotal role in guiding couples through the final phases of their wedding planning, focusing primarily on on-site management. You will collaborate closely with client experience managers during the planning stages to align expectations and prepare for flawless event delivery. Key responsibilities include leading final details calls with clients about six weeks before the wedding to review logistics, timeline, and any outstanding needs.

On the wedding day, you will act as the couple's primary advocate, maintaining a calm, solutions-oriented presence while managing vendor arrivals, overseeing set-up, and ensuring that all personal and event details are correctly placed. You will coordinate closely with all vendors, providing clear instructions and direction to maintain alignment with the event plan. Your ability to manage the entire wedding day process—from initial vendor arrival to final breakdown—will be critical in delivering a seamless, memorable experience for the couple and their guests. Additionally, you will support the wedding party and family with timing cues and day-of needs, packing and accounting for all personal items post-event, and addressing any last-minute changes proactively.
