No Panic, Just Disco

nd parties our multi-tab color-coded split-into-30-minute-increments plan, with "captains" for each major sub-event. As their incomprehension and anxiety broke like waves upon their faces, we realized: oh, we didn't need a *planner*, but we do need a *coordinator*. Enter Alexandra, who was introduced to us by some of those same immediate family. We met to discuss our operationally complex (six venues over three days, four of them on the wedding day itself, including at least one "go from point A to point B and then back to point A") and culturally complicated wedding (a mix of WASPs, recent immigrants, and queer cool Cambervillers). She was able to read through everything we'd done, identify gaps that our tired eyes missed in our own narrative flow, and pull solutions out of her bag of tricks. She quickly mastered the lore and main characters of the family and friend dynamics and proposed strategies for mailing them. Finally, on the day, she kept everything running, whether it was meta-coordinating the captains, remembering where that one thing was stored, or staying late to clean up. We were very grateful to have her watching over everything and would recommend her, particularly (though not only) for those who are doing something nontraditional and need someone who can smash a knuckleball and not just a hanging curve.

e start, she asked great questions and even helped me work through how I wanted the evening take shape. She would check-in often leading up to the day and was awesome coordinating with the venue and vendors. During the event, Alexandra kept us on track and handled issues promptly and professionally. And she was a godsend for setting up and tearing down the decor! We were honestly so lucky to have her as our coordinator and I highly recommend working with them!

he event while we were busy being a bride and groom. A friend recommended Alexandra and we couldn't be happier with the result. Alexandra was professional: They read our notes, asked the right questions, and brought our vision to life as if they were involved with it from the start. Our ceremony was a somewhat theatrical affair involving the whole wedding party, and Alexandra coordinated them to pull off the whole thing without a hitch. Alexandra handled paying the vendors, getting the tables set up in the right place, and probably a hundred other small things we didn't hear about because we were focusing on getting married. Alexandra was a great fit for our wedding. They're very much LGBTQ+ friendly as well, which was important to us. Their background as a stage manager was exactly what we needed for our ceremony. But in general I would recommend Alexandra for anyone's wedding; they're a great coordinator and they'll get the job done!
