Mendocino Wedding Coordinators are essential to a hassle-free wedding, especially for out-of-town brides! A coordinator is essential to the well planned affair and many of the Inns provide a coordinator. They help absorb the stresses of contract negotiations with vendors and keeping track of the many details. Being experienced in negotiating contracts with caterers, florists, photographers, and other suppliers, the coordinator saves valuable time and money. The coordinator can take advantage of discounts not available to private parties and avoid costly mistakes, while turning your dreams into reality.

Your photos are extremely important, they'll be your longest lasting memory for yourself, guests, future friends and family! Don't skimp, hire a "professional" wedding photographer. It’s not enough that your photographer is affordable. You’ll also want someone who takes great pictures. Someone who can capture a candid moment and knows how to pose everyone so they don’t appear stiff or staged. Every photographer has a portfolio, ask to see proof books from recent weddings. Take your time and look through these photos. If a certain photographer’s work stands out, they're probably the one for you.

The music sets the tone - literally! Once you’ve made your choice, you’ll need to make one more decision. How will this music be played? Will it be taped and piped in over loud speakers? Will the church’s organist be doing the honors? These are two options. You can also go with your disc jockey, this works especially well if the wedding and reception are both held in the same location. Hiring classical musicians to play will ensure a dignified and elegant affair. The most important consideration is to choose music that not only means something to you but is also appropriate to the occasion. After all, you’ll have the memories for the rest of your life.
