Do you have any Event Insurance Companies you can recommend?
We sure do! We personally have a partnership with Event Helper and you can get a discount using my custom link.
My venue provides a coordinator, do I still need to hire one?
A Venue Coordinator is very different from a Wedding Coordinator. Your Venue Coordinator is there to make sure everything related to the venue is going well. Typically they do not provide a timeline for you, set up decorations and manage other vendors and your guests. Make sure to talk to your venue and understand the responsibilities of the venue coordinator before you decide not to hire a wedding coordinator!
