Pre Wedding Scheduling Meeting
Between eight to three weeks before your wedding day, we will have our Scheduling Meeting. This is where we will discuss your wedding day in fine detail and create your Order of the Day together. We will also talk through all your suppliers and the services they are providing.
Site Visits
I hate surprises (don’t we all?), so I make a point of visiting your venue in advance of the wedding day, location dependent. This can be done independently or alongside you during a scheduled visit, if availability allows.
If you have access to the venue the day before to set up, or you’re planning a marquee wedding, I’ll also aim to pop by for an hour or so. It’s a chance to sense-check that everything is on track and to be a steady pair of hands if any last-minute questions, nerves, or practical decisions crop up.
Here are some of my recommended suppliers.

“We hired Sophie as our ‘on the day’ wedding coordinator earlier this month, which was a bit of a luxury we might not have considered at the very beginning - but one of the best decisions we made.
She inspired real confidence from our initial discussion and entrusting the biggest celebration of our lives to Sophie felt like putting it in the safest hands possible - she knew exactly what questions to ask of us to make sure the day ran smoothly and was as we hoped, allowing us to enjoy the wedding planning process so much more when things felt stressful.
She handled every last request with complete professionalism - whether it came in last minute on the morning of, involved working with small children or was something nice to have but non-essential - if it mattered to us, then it mattered to her.
Sophie seemed to charm everyone in the room, yet remained in the background and showed initiative in dealing with anything else that came her way on the day, so that we could relax with our guests. Added to that, our suppliers really looked like they enjoyed working together and happily told us so!”
Fiona & Cal - Cheltenham
We can’t recommend Sophie highly enough! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Every request we had was handled with professionalism, creativity, and genuine care. She truly brought our vision to life.
Not only were we blown away by her dedication and attention to detail, but every single one of our other vendors, and even our guests had nothing but amazing things to say, too. They all said how much they loved working with Sophie and how organised and communicative she was throughout the day.
If you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile to make your day seamless and special, this is the person you want by your side. Truly a dream to work with!
Anna & Sam - Cotswolds
Oh my goodness! Where do I begin? Sophie is a dream worker. From the moment I contacted her for my daughter's garden wedding until the time it was all cleared away days later, Sophie did not stop organising, coming up with great ideas and generally taking all the stress from the family for the big event. I wish I could utilise her as my full time PA! There will certainly be more events coming and, without hesitation, it will be Sophie that I shall call upon to assist. No matter what the task, Sophie never stopped working or supporting. She truly is a saving grace.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
An on-the-day wedding coordinator takes over the logistics so your plans are actually delivered smoothly. I manage suppliers, timings, set-up, troubleshooting, and keep everything moving so you and your family can focus on being present, not problem-solving.
-
No. A wedding planner helps you plan the wedding from the beginning. An on-the-day coordinator such as myself steps in once the planning is done and makes sure everything you’ve organised runs properly on the day. During our pre wedding meeting I will also support with final scheduling of the day, and trouble shooting any possible details that have been missed.
-
Not exactly. Venue coordinators look after the venue itself. My focus is centerd on you as a couple, and your guests! Im also looking at your wedding as a whole, ensuring all suppliers, timings, and personal details come together as planned.
-
Olio & Co. offers a highly personal, detail-led approach to wedding coordination, designed to feel considered, calm, and completely taken care of.
Rather than stepping in just for the day, I work closely with you in the lead-up to understand exactly how you want your wedding to feel, not just how it should run. By the time the day arrives, nothing is unfamiliar and nothing is left to chance.
On the day itself, I’m a consistent and reassuring presence for both you and your guests. I’ll manage suppliers, oversee every transition, and handle anything unexpected with discretion, so you’re never pulled away from the moment.
Unlike many coordinators who work to fixed hours, I stay for as long as I’m needed. From the first arrivals through to a full dance floor and a settled evening atmosphere, I’m there to ensure everything has been delivered exactly as intended.
-
Yes. I oversee the full flow of the day, from ceremony set-up through to the transition into your reception and evening changes where needed.
-
Yes, that’s a big part of the role. Most couples don’t want to be involved in minor issues, so I handle anything that comes up quietly and efficiently where possible.
-
Yes. I oversee set-up and can make sure your styling is executed as planned, whether that’s table décor, signage, ceremony layout, or finishing touches.
