Some brides can picture exactly
what kind of wedding they want.

Hiring a wedding
coordinator is
absolutely the best gift
you can give yourself
coordinator to help guide you through
the process and coordinate details with
your vendors.
Because the wedding is at a particular
venue or located on Mackinac Island, a
bride does not have to limit her creativ-
ity. Theme weddings, extended weekend
weddings, Victorian/vintage weddings,
or casual outdoor barbeques can all be
created anywhere on Mackinac Island
with the help of a consultant or event
team.
If you secure the services of a local
wedding coordinator, wonderful things
begin to happen. Someone who is famil-
iar with the Island logistics and local
vendors can share insightful informa-
tion, saving you countless hours of
research. There are huge time savings
when a wedding coordinator takes on
the administrative tasks such as coordi-
nating schedules, meeting with vendors
and confirming all the elements and
timetables of the day. A coordinator
will closely follow along the entire day
to ensure perfect staging of your dream
wedding.

couple before I make any vendor refer-

dors to suit the bride's needs, preferences
and budget," says professional Mackinac
