Question 1

What is Crown Coordination's background and experience?

Accepted Answer

Courtney, our founder and lead planner, has been planning professional events for over a decade, but began event planning in high school. She jokes that she is ‘classically’ trained in events because she gained her career experience in the hotel industry as a catering sales manager. She planned every type of event under the sun, and then some! Each of her Crew members has a background in hospitality, as well, and she has furthered trained them for more niche occasions, such as weddings.

Question 2

How is Crown Coordination unique?

Accepted Answer

We are classically trained in the world of hospitality and are with you from day one! You can look to us for complete support from the minute you book with our Crew, all the way up until your event... and even after! We guide the process and steer you in the best direction for what you are looking for, while saving you time and money on vendors that are not the right fit. Also, we invest in ourselves because we know you invest in us - we constantly seek educational opportunities regarding industry trends, technologies and techniques to better serve you.

Question 3

What do you really do on the day of a wedding?

Accepted Answer

Our Crew understands the full scope of an event day, and then some, ensuring everyone is in the right place at the right time. Whether that be organizing vendors, handling deliveries, trouble-shooting issues, reconfiguring the schedule, directing guests, etc., we are your glue and quality control for the day. We strive to ensure our clients can be fully present and enjoy their event, no matter what is happening behind the scenes.

Question 4

What's the difference between you, an event manager/planner, and my venue coordinator?

Accepted Answer

A venue coordinator is responsible for the venue and its operations. They do not handle planning and design for couples. We recommend taking some time to learn what your venue coordinator is handling and what you (or your planner) are responsible for. Every venue varies, so knowing what each one offers will alleviate a lot of hassle. Be sure to have clear expectations and interpretations about what everyone's role will be.

Question 5

Do you travel outside of New York State?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we love to travel for events and celebrations! Thus far, we have hosted events in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and California. We work with clients all over the country, and even internationally!

Question 6

Will I still get a say if I hire you as my planner?

Accepted Answer

We will do as much, or as little, as you want us to do during the planning process. We are here to offer input, provide recommendations and share our expertise so you have all the knowledge you could possibly have to make the right decision for yourself.
