The Difference Between a Month-of Coordinator and a Venue Coordinator

Wedding day-of coordinators are often referred to as month-of coordinators because their services typically start about a month before the wedding day. The term "day-of coordinator" can be a bit misleading, as their responsibilities extend beyond just the wedding day itself. For myself and many other planners, month-of and day-of coordination are interchangeable terms. A venue coordinator is a person who works for the venue where the wedding will take place. They are responsible for ensuring that the venue operates smoothly and that everything is in order before, during, and after the wedding. A venue coordinator's primary focus is on the logistics of the venue, and they are responsible for making sure that everything is in place before the wedding party arrives. This includes setting up chairs and tables, ensuring that the lighting is appropriate, and making sure that the temperature is comfortable.
