EPISODE SUMMARY:
Her Backstory
Vanessa is from Montreal (French-speaking Canada). Her father is Canadian, and her mother is Italian. So, she speaks French and Italian. She has worked in an entertainment company, and with her previous employer, she got the opportunity to travel to many countries. Travelling gave her a different eye and perspective on a lot of things, especially when it comes to events and dealing with people from different backgrounds and religions.
Difference between a wedding day coordinator and partial packages that they offer
When you hire a wedding planner, you're hiring someone that's going to do full service. They're going to take you from start to finish, your wedding needs, including sourcing vendors for you, design, etc. But with the day of the coordinator, the couple plans most of their wedding on their own. And the day of coordinator comes two months (roughly said) prior to the wedding and executes the plan.
Venue coordinator vs. a wedding planner
A venue coordinator is working for the venue. So, they will do everything that has to do with the venue. They will not reach your dress provider to make sure that the alterations are done on time. They will not reach your rental company, confirm your rental order and make sure that you have the right quantities for everything. They are there as a sounding board. They won't be there by your side, making sure they are troubleshooting everything.
Many venues need an independent coordinator or a wedding planner.
Vanessa says, "I think more and more venues in Las Vegas are getting on board with weddings as they realize that it's really hard for them to manage all of the work, managing the bride or groom or bride and bride and groom and groom's needs while still trying to sell and service. So they rather pass that on to us where they can just focus on stuff that solely involves the venue."
