The responsibilities of the Lead Wedding Planner include conducting final detail calls with couples about six weeks before their wedding date to confirm all logistics, timelines, and expectations. Leading the ceremony rehearsal to ensure all participants are confident and prepared is another key duty. On the wedding day, the planner acts as the primary advocate for the couple, maintaining a calm and solutions-oriented approach to support them through any challenges or last-minute adjustments.
