Wedding-Day Coordination

Day-of Wedding Coordinator in Tampa Bay

So You Can Be Fully Present

Weddings à la Carte provides a day of wedding coordinator in Tampa and across Tampa Bay. Rocío steps in close to your date, reviews what you have already arranged, and runs the timeline, the vendors and the final details so you can be fully present.

What It Is

Someone to Run the Day, So You Get to Live It

Day-of coordination is the most direct way to protect your wedding day. You have chosen the venue, the vendors and the details. What you need now is a calm, capable person to carry that plan through the hours when you should not be answering questions.

This is Rocío's signature service. It suits couples who planned most of the wedding themselves, and couples with a few loose ends and nobody to hold them.

Like everything at Weddings à la Carte, the support is yours to choose. If the wedding day is the only piece you need, that is a complete answer. If you want help earlier, partial planning is there as well.

What Is Included

What Rocío Can Manage On the Day

  • A plan review

    Rocío can go through your contracts, vendor list and floor plan beforehand, so nothing on the day is a surprise.

  • The master timeline

    A clear schedule from getting ready through the ceremony, photos and reception, shared with each vendor.

  • Vendor arrivals

    She can greet the DJ, florist, photographer, caterer and rentals team, and point each one to the right spot.

  • Setup and styling

    Decor, signage and tables placed the way you pictured them, checked against your plan.

  • Ceremony cues

    Lining up the wedding party, cueing the music and getting everyone to the aisle on time.

  • Problem solving

    A late delivery, a change in weather or a missing item is handled quietly, out of your sight.

  • Reception flow

    Toasts, dances, cake and the send-off follow your timeline without anyone chasing you.

  • The wrap-up

    Rentals, decor and personal belongings are gathered and leave the venue in order.

The Room Is Ready Before You Walk In

A reception only looks effortless when someone has checked the details behind it. Rocío can arrive early, confirm that every vendor has what they need, and walk the room against your plan.

Then you step into the space you imagined, and the questions go to her instead of to you.

Good to Know

Day-of Coordination, Answered

What does a day of coordinator do?

A day of coordinator runs your wedding day from the first vendor arrival to the last guest out, following a timeline built beforehand. With Rocío, that means managing vendors, setup, ceremony cues and any surprise, so you and your family stay out of the logistics.

How much does a day of coordinator cost?

The cost depends on the hours needed, your guest count, your venue and how much is already arranged. Rocío puts together clear, realistic pricing after she reviews your date, and our wedding planner cost guide explains what moves the price.

Do I need a day of coordinator if my venue has one?

Often both help, because a venue coordinator looks after the venue while your own coordinator looks after your whole plan, including outside vendors. Ask us how the two would work together at your venue.

How far ahead should we book day-of coordination?

We suggest reaching out at least two to three months before the wedding. Rocío reads each inquiry personally, so a closer date is still worth a message.

Can you coordinate if my wedding is only weeks away?

Possibly, and it is worth asking right away. Send your details and Rocío will tell you what is realistic, and our last-minute wedding planner page explains how close dates work.
