10 reasons why you should hire a day of coordinator?

1. You actually get to enjoy your wedding day

Instead of answering vendor questions, tracking timelines, or problem-solving, you get to be fully present.

2. They manage the entire timeline

A coordinator ensures every moment (ceremony start, first dance, speeches, meals) happens smoothly and on schedule.

3. They handle vendor communication

Your coordinator becomes the point of contact for every vendor, preventing you from being bombarded with calls and texts.

4. They solve problems quietly

Last-minute issues always happen—missing décor, weather shifts, delays. Coordinators fix them before you even know.

5. They execute your vision exactly as planned

You spent months planning; a coordinator ensures it’s all set up, styled, and carried out just the way you imagined.

6. Your family and friends can relax

No bridesmaid, parent, or friend has to work during your wedding. Everyone gets to be a guest, not unpaid staff.

7. They keep the ceremony running smoothly

From lining up the wedding party to cueing music and coordinating entrances, they orchestrate the most important moments flawlessly.

8. They oversee set-up and tear-down

You don’t have to worry about who’s arranging place cards or who’s collecting gifts at the end of the night.

9. They coordinate transitions and announcements

Grand entrance, cake cutting, bouquet toss, sparkler exit—they make sure each moment happens seamlessly and at the right time.

10. They provide peace of mind

Simply knowing a professional is managing everything removes stress and lets you focus on celebrating with your partner.

Styled Shoot at Goosenest Grove

Designing a Dreamy Tablescape at Goosenest Grove

A Styled Shoot with Mountain Rose Company

There’s something magical about Goosenest Grove—towering trees, soft mountain air, and a quiet charm that instantly sets the stage for romance. As a wedding planner and designer for Mountain Rose Company, I had the opportunity to create a show-stopping tablescape for a styled shoot at this incredible venue. My goal? To craft a scene that felt both elevated and inviting, capturing the grove's natural serenity while adding a touch of refined celebration.

The Inspiration

Every design begins with a spark. For this shoot, the inspiration came directly from Goosenest Grove’s earthy textures and timeless atmosphere. I wanted the table to feel rooted in nature but still polished enough to inspire couples imagining their own wedding day here. Think: soft florals, warm neutrals, romantic candlelight, and intentional layering.

Building the Table Design

To bring the vision to life, I blended organic elements with curated décor pieces from Mountain Rose Company’s collection. Linen runners, layered dinnerware, modern glassware, and handcrafted details worked together to create a cohesive and elegant aesthetic.

Strategic pops of color brought depth to the soft palette, while natural greenery tied everything back to the surrounding grove. Each placement, each stem, each fold in the linens was chosen with purpose—to inspire, to delight, and to show couples how transformative thoughtful décor can be.

Why Styled Shoots Matter

Styled shoots are more than beautiful photos; they’re creative playgrounds. As a planner, they allow me to experiment, collaborate with vendors, and showcase a venue's potential in a way that sparks imagination for future clients.

For Goosenest Grove, the tablescape became a centerpiece that reflected the venue’s organic beauty while illustrating how Mountain Rose Company brings wedding dreams to life through design, rentals, and coordination.

The Mountain Rose Touch

Attention to detail is at the heart of everything I do. Whether I’m building a tablescape for a styled shoot or designing a full wedding day, I approach every project with the same passion: to create beauty, ease stress, and elevate the experience for every couple I serve.

From concept to execution, this shoot at Goosenest Grove was a reminder of why I love what I do—transforming spaces, curating moments, and telling love stories through design.
