why a wedding day manager is so important
Imagine this: your best friend is the best man, and at the same time he’s supposed to handle the entire day‑of coordination.
During the ceremony he’s sorting out last details, talking to vendors, coordinating the aperitif, and answering guest questions – by the end of the day he’s stressed and barely had the chance to celebrate with you.
But that’s not what best men or maids of honor are meant for. They should support you emotionally, hand you tissues, and enjoy the day with you – not run the logistics.
As your Wedding Day Manager, I take over the operational load. I work closely with your wedding party, solve problems quietly in the background, coordinate vendors, and keep the timeline on track.
what i take care of for you
From 6–8 weeks before your wedding day, you won’t have to worry about a thing. In addition to being there on the day itself, I take care of:
-
A venue walkthrough, including discussion of setup and the full schedule
-
Creating a detailed wedding day timeline with precise instructions for all vendors and the venue
-
Complete coordination and communication with every vendor and the venue
-
Correspondence with the wedding party and designated guest contacts for any questions

Because that’s what it’s really about: creating memories that last – not dealing with stress that distracts.

What inspires me: Colors, cultures, matcha, good food, family stories, and of course love in all its forms.

What I don’t need: Jealousy, envy, trends people follow just because everyone else does, and pessimism.

"Vanessa was a fantastic wedding planner for our wedding and we couldn’t have chosen a better person to lead our special day. She went above and beyond with meeting us often and adjusting the vision when needed. She helped pick our wedding venue, our amazing photographer, our fantastic makeup artist etc etc the list goes on. She planned and ensured every detail was not missed. We didn’t have to think about anything logistically on our special day she thought of it all. She is a kind, polite and amazing person to work with you can tell that she feels passionate about helping couples make their day feel even more special. We loved working with Vanessa and we cannot recommend her enough for anyone who wants to get married in Switzerland ❤️ thank you for everything Vanessa ☺️" - Maria & Ben

Alles ist so abgelaufen wie wir es uns vorgestellt hatten. Vanessa ist eine wunderbare Person und es macht mega Spass mit ihr zusammenzuarbeiten, und ihre Freude an der Hochzeitsplanung ist wirklich spürbar. Das Aussuchen der Dienstleister war mit ihr zusammen wirklich einfach, ihr Netzwerk und Wissen hat alles stark vereinfacht und das Feedback verschiedener Dienstleister für Vanessa war auch super! Wir waren überrascht wie gründlich und detailliert sie unsere Hochzeit geplant hat und alles hat perfekt funktioniert. Wir können Vanessa von ganzem Herzen empfehlen." - Manuela & Pascal
