What is a day off wedding coordinator?  I could use one just for the day!

A "day of" wedding co-ordinator takes care of every detail on the day of the wedding.  They make sure all your vendors are there on time, prepare things the way you have asked for them and solve any and all problems.  They will NEVER let you know if there was a problem, they just deal with it.  The week of the wedding they also call all of your vendors to double check all the timing, etc.  They perfect all the little details on the day (they even measure the distance between the place settings on your table so that everything is perfectly even!) and create itineraries for everyone involved with your wedding to make sure everyone is on time and in the loop.  It is pure awesome.  I didn't want to worry on the wedding day, and I don't want my parents or wedding party to be stressed either, so this is perfect!  They are going to pick up all our programs etc. the day before the wedding and set them up the day of, they even fluff your train before you hit the runway... I mean aisle!
LOOK INTO ONE, IT WILL SAVE YOU SO MUCH STRESS!

Why do you say "don't ever rent tuxes from Moore's"
We are about to rent from them as they are the best option for us. Curious about your experience with them that makes you say that.

I have written a lengthy post about this on the "Weddings by Color Brides Unite" Facebook group.
Here is the short of it:
Ordered tuxes from Moore's in March (3 tuxes) promised sage herringbone vests and ordered bridesmaids dresses to match them.  Now in May, less than 2 months before wedding Moore's says it is a "hot colour" and they can't give them to us, they have commited our vests to wedding parties that booked AFTER we did!  I had to pull a bridezilla to get some strings to be pulled, only to have them not call us back.  When I went into the store again the tux manager had quit and store manager had been fired.  Nobody know what is happening with our order and we are basically screwed.  Moore's is good because you have lots of locations for fittings if your groomsmen live apart, the prices are good too, but they are not dependable.  I would suggest that if you are doing any vest colour other than black or gray, look elsewhere.  Same problem happened to my friend that got married last summer, ordered turquoise vests, then told they couldn't get them 1 month before wedding.
I guess that wasn't really that short huh!?
