Question 1

Why should I hire a wedding coordinator?

Accepted Answer

An experienced wedding coordinator ensures your wedding day runs smoothly. From curating a master timeline and managing vendors to troubleshooting unexpected issues behind the scenes. Instead of juggling logistics, you get to be fully present and enjoy your day to the fullest! Think of it this way: you wouldn’t buy a house without a realtor guiding you through the process—so why plan one of life’s biggest milestones without a professional by your side? A experienced coordinator knows what questions to ask, understands the industry inside and out, and can connect you with the best vendors for your vision and budget.

Question 2

What makes Ann Neely Events different?

Accepted Answer

With over a decade of experience and more than 1,200 events executed, we bring a rare balance of seamless logistics, thoughtful design, and elevated hospitality. We care about your wedding day as much as you do and manage the details so you can be fully present and enjoy every moment.

Question 3

Do you take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend?

Accepted Answer

No! When you book Ann Neely Events, you get me as your lead coordinator on your wedding day. I believe in being fully present with my clients, from concept to completion, so I only take one wedding per weekend. Some planning companies have you meet with the owner up front and then assign a different coordinator that you may not have the opportunity to meet until your wedding day. I don’t believe in that model. If you’ve trusted me throughout the planning process, you deserve to have me by your side on wedding day to ensure every detail is executed exactly as we envisioned together.

Question 4

Do you also plan other events, like showers or rehearsal dinners?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I also plan showers, rehearsal dinners, and other celebrations. I would love to assist with additional events that are part of your wedding!

Question 5

How are your prices structured?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is tailored to the level of service, scope, customization, guest count and location of your wedding. My rates reflect more than a decade of professional experience, a strong educational foundation (a bachelor’s in Event Planning and a master’s in Hospitality Management), and the successful execution of 1,200+ events. When you choose Ann Neely Events, you’re investing in more than event-day logistics—you’re gaining the expertise, care, and proven track record that ensure your celebration is seamless, sophisticated, and stress-free.

Question 6

Are you part of a team? Who will we be working with?

Accepted Answer

Every event includes myself as your lead planner and an assistant. I only take one event per available date, so you’ll always have my full attention. Depending on your event size, scope, and layout, additional assistants may be recommended for an agreed-upon fee.

Question 7

Do you work directly with our vendors?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I communicate with your vendor team to confirm logistics, share timelines, and keep everyone aligned. My goal is to ensure your vendors can focus on delivering their best work while I oversee the big picture.

Question 8

Will you help with setup and teardown?

Accepted Answer

I oversee and manage all vendor setup to ensure everything looks exactly as envisioned and is in place on time. My team and I also handle end-of-event breakdown of your personal items and décor. However, I do not handle the physical setup or teardown of rental items such as tables, chairs, or large equipment. Venue-required cleanup (like bussing tables, trash removal, or resetting furniture) is the responsibility of the catering team or venue staff.

Question 9

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes! ANE carries a $1 million Limited Liability Insurance Policy.

Question 10

What does your role look like on wedding day?

Accepted Answer

My team and I manage setup, vendor arrivals, event flow, and any unexpected hiccups that may arise. We serve as the primary point of contact for both you and your vendor team, ensuring clear communication and seamless coordination. My goal is always to protect your peace of mind so you never have to worry about what’s happening behind the scenes and can enjoy your wedding day to the fullest!

Question 11

Do you travel for weddings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! While I am based in Northwest Ohio, I love traveling to create unforgettable weddings wherever your celebration takes you. Travel fees may apply depending on the location.

Question 12

How much time should we expect to spend with you?

Accepted Answer

The time we spend together depends on your package—full-service means regular check-ins throughout planning, partial planning includes several key meetings, and day-of coordination involves just a few meetings. All packages included full-coverage on your wedding day.

Question 13

How far in advance should I book your services?

Accepted Answer

I recommend reaching out 9–12 months before weddings and large-scale events, and at least 3–6 months for smaller gatherings. My calendar fills quickly, so the sooner we connect, the better chance your date will be available. However, I can try to accommodate shorter timelines depending on availability. Please reach out and we will see what we can curate together!

Question 14

How do we reserve our event date?

Accepted Answer

A signed contract and non-refundable retainer are required to officially secure your event date on my calendar. The remaining balance is due seven days prior to your event date.

Question 15

I have more questions, how do I get in touch with you?

Accepted Answer

I’d love to connect! There are a couple of different options based upon your preference and we can schedule a consultation to chat through the details of your wedding!
