You are still planning your wedding. I help you organize what you have chosen, work through decisions, and catch what has not been answered yet.
That may include:
Building your timeline
Reviewing logistics
Answering vendor questions
Helping you determine whether an idea will work in practice
Noticing what you can no longer see after staring at the plan for six months
I am not taking over. I am helping the wedding in your head make its way into the physical world—with its limited outlets, rental windows, and people who all need to eat
-
A Day-of Advocate knows your plans well enough to act on your behalf while you are busy getting married.
Guests need directions. Vendors need access. The wedding party needs to be found and lined up. I call it herding cats.
I also handle the small disruptions: the vendor with an unexpected setup need, the missing marriage license, the boutonnières YouTube could not explain, or the relative with a new seating plan.
Without an Advocate, that work lands on you or the most capable person nearby. Your loved ones should get to be present with you—not spend the day managing your wedding.
-
Being highly organized may be one of the best reasons to have a coordinator.
You may love the research, spreadsheets, and tiny details. But the more time you spend creating the plan, the more important it becomes to have someone who can manage it once the wedding begins. A spreadsheet cannot answer a vendor’s question, locate a missing family member, or respond when the weather changes fifteen minutes before the ceremony.
Without a coordinator, that responsibility often falls to the most organized family member or friend. Then someone you love is checking on vendors instead of joining cocktail hour, moving décor instead of appearing in photos, or watching the clock instead of making memories with you.
I learn your system, including what is immovable and where I have room to make a judgment call. I am not there to improvise my version of your wedding. I am there to carry out yours—so you and your people can be fully present for it.
-
Weddings bring out strong feelings—often from some mixture of love, tradition, expectation, and old family dynamics.
Because I know what you want, I can answer questions, assign a useful task, or gently remind someone that the couple has already decided. Sometimes people need to feel heard. Sometimes they need to be pointed toward the bar.
These are your people, and I will treat them with care. I will also remember whose wedding it is.
-
Yes! I offer creative coordination and day-of advocacy (on site event support day of) for elopements, weddings, and celebrations. The kind of support you need is shaped by more than the guest count - it also depends on your venue, timeline, vendors, setup needs, and how much you are handling yourselves.
A ten-person elopement spread across multiple locations may require more coordination than a larger wedding at an all-inclusive venue. We will look at the full shape of your celebration and determine what level of support makes sense.
-
Oathbound offers creative coordination and day-of advocacy for elopements and weddings with up to 100 guests.
Elopement services are available for celebrations with up to 20 people, including the couple. The exception is our Desert Compass elopement packages, which are designed for up to 10 people total, including the couple.
Wedding services are available for celebrations with up to 100 guests.
Depending on the guest count, venue, timeline, and setup needs, larger celebrations may require an additional support person. This is determined on a case-by-case basis to ensure there are enough capable hands to care for the day well.
-
Absolutely. DIY weddings are often where creative coordination is most useful.
I can help you determine what needs to be made, purchased, transported, assembled, or assigned—and whether the plan is realistic within the time and help available. We will also identify who is responsible for setup, transitions, cleanup, and getting everything home afterward.
DIY should mean personal and intentional, not that you spend your wedding day moving tables.
-
Yes. I have supported more than 20 couples through weddings with different sizes, styles, budgets, and planning timelines.
That work has taught me which questions are worth asking, where trouble tends to hide, and how much a vendor’s communication matters alongside the service they provide.
I can recommend local vendors, help you compare options, discuss your budget, or help untangle a difficult decision. If you need something outside your package, ask. I will be clear about what is included and what may require additional support.
-
An individual service addresses one defined need. A package gives me enough context to see how the pieces affect one another.
Your timeline influences photography, catering, transportation, and the ceremony. Your layout affects guest movement and whether vendors can do their jobs. Two reasonable choices can still conflict once they are placed within the same wedding.
A package helps all the separate elements behave like they belong together.
-
I will always encourage couples to believe that a beautiful, meaningful wedding is possible within their budget.
The wedding industry is very good at turning possibilities into apparent necessities. I can help you decide what will make a real difference, what can be simplified, and what no one will miss.
I will also be honest when saving money may cost more in labor or stress. “We’ll do it ourselves” is a workable plan only when we have identified who “we” is.
There is no prize for having the most elaborate wedding.

Not usually. A venue coordinator primarily represents the venue and focuses on responsibilities connected to the property. Their role may include access, venue rules, included rentals, or communication with venue staff.
A wedding coordinator or Day-of Advocate represents you. I keep track of the larger plan, communicate with your vendor team, support the wedding party and guests, and help carry out the experience you have planned.
Some venue coordinators offer more comprehensive support, so it is always worth asking exactly what is included!
