Question 1

What type of wedding planning services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer Day‑of Coordination and Partial Wedding Planning. Day-of Coordination includes reviewing wedding planning, vendor confirmations and coordination, on‑site management of your wedding day timeline, setup oversight, ceremony / reception management, plus more. Partial Planning includes everything in the Day‑of Coordination package plus beginning planning work as soon as a contract is signed, unlimited correspondence for coordination, vendor selection support, budget guidance, design feedback, and regular planning check‑ins.

Question 2

What’s the difference between a day-of coordinator and a wedding planner?

Accepted Answer

A day-of coordinator focuses on executing your existing plan: finalizing the timeline, managing vendors, overseeing setup, and running the ceremony and reception on the wedding day A wedding planner (or partial planner) is involved much earlier — helping with vendor selection, budget and timeline creation, design guidance, and regular planning check‑ins in the months leading up to the wedding.

Question 3

Do I need a day-of coordinator or wedding planner?

Accepted Answer

You don’t have to hire one, but having at least a Day‑of Coordinator greatly increases the chances of your timeline running smoothly, vendors being managed and informed properly, and you don’t have to waste time handling logistics on your wedding day. Partial Planning adds months of assistance for vendor selection, timeline and budget setup, and design guidance—reducing stress and preventing costly mistakes. We recommend couples obtain at least Day-of Coordination in order to improve guest experience and so you can focus on enjoying your wedding day.

Question 4

Can I plan the wedding myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but hiring at least a Day‑of Coordinator is still recommended to manage the timeline, vendor communication, and on‑site logistics on the wedding day so you can enjoy the day.

Question 5

My venue has a venue coordinator. Is that the same as a day-of coordinator or planner?

Accepted Answer

No. A venue coordinator manages venue staff, facility rules, and venue‑specific logistics (vendor/guest questions about the venue, parking, etc.). They usually do not manage outside vendors, create or run your full timeline, handle vendor management, or act as your point person for guests.

Question 6

When should we hire a day-of coordinator or wedding planner?

Accepted Answer

Hire as early as possible. Day‑of Coordination starts ~3 months before the wedding. Partial Planning can begin as soon as you sign a contract, giving you several additional months of guidance—useful for securing vendors, shaping design, and avoiding last‑minute issues.

Question 7

Can you assist me with the design and decor of my wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide design and decor guidance as part of Partial Planning—vendor recommendations, layout guidance, styling advice, etc. Day‑of Coordination implements your plan and manages on‑site setup, but is not a design service.

Question 8

How are the total cost of your services determined?

Accepted Answer

Pricing starts with the base fee for the package you choose and can increase based on event size or complexity (for example, more than 175 guests), travel distance (for example, travel over 1 hour from our local area), and extra on‑site hours beyond the included 12 hours.

Question 9

Why should we choose you as our day-of coordinator or wedding planner?

Accepted Answer

Choose Between Yes and I Do for proven Front Range and Colorado mountain wedding experience, clear contracts and transparent pricing, strong vendor relationships (across Denver metro, Colorado Springs, and mountain venues throughout Colorado) calm on‑site execution that keeps your timeline on track, and personalized planning that reduces stress so you can enjoy the day.

Question 10

Do we need to get wedding day insurance?

Accepted Answer

Wedding insurance is recommended for all Colorado weddings. It can cover liability claims, vendor or vendor‑caused loss, and cancellation or postponement costs for covered reasons. Many venues require liability insurance, and it’s worth getting a policy if you have expensive vendors, a high guest count, or weather‑sensitive mountain logistics. Check your venue and vendor contracts for insurance requirements; we can help identify what to look for.

Question 11

Do you have liability insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry general liability and professional liability insurance for weddings in Colorado and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming your venue on request. Our coverage meets the requirements of most venues and will be provided as part of either package selected.

Question 12

How do you plan around potential weather changes/issues?

Accepted Answer

We build weather contingency into your timeline and logistics: confirm indoor/back‑up spaces with the venue, add timeline buffers, coordinate vendor backup plans (tents, heaters, flooring, AV), arrange guest transit and clear signage for mountain conditions, monitor forecasts and communicate timely updates to you and vendors.

Question 13

Do you work outside of Colorado?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our primary focus is the Colorado Front Range and Colorado mountain venues, but we accept destination bookings outside of Colorado (travel fees apply).

Question 14

Do we need to live/be in Colorado in order to work with you?

Accepted Answer

No. You don’t need to live in Colorado to hire us. We have extensive experience working with out‑of‑state couples and handle remote planning by phone, video, and email while coordinating local vendors and logistics.
