Do You Actually Need a Wedding Coordinator? | Shoot the Vows Episode 6

Thinking about skipping a wedding coordinator to save money? Wedding planner Heather Burditt from Root & Rise Occasion is breaking down why that might be a mistake — and what couples don't realize until it's too late.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the difference between a wedding coordinator and a wedding planner, why "our venue includes a coordinator" doesn't mean what you think it means, and who's actually managing vendor communication, setup, emergencies, and timeline chaos on your big day.

We also talk about how to keep your friends and family from becoming unpaid wedding staff (unless that's intentional), how a planner can elevate your design and budget, and insider tips for choosing the right coordinator or planner for YOUR personality and priorities.

Whether you're DIYing your wedding or going all-in with a full-service planner, this episode will help you understand what support you actually need to pull off a stress-free, beautiful wedding day.
