Wedding coordination in the Metro East and St. Louis
Less stress, more meaning
The part nobody tells you
Who runs the day you planned?
Every vendor is booked. Every decision is made. And on the day, someone still has to confirm the florist, cue the toasts, fix the boutonniere, and tell the DJ the schedule moved. Without a coordinator, that someone is you, or your mom, working the wedding instead of living it.
One more thing venues rarely say out loud: the venue coordinator works for the venue. Their job is the building. A wedding coordinator works for you. Here is the difference, in plain English →
What we do
How it
works
01Share your vision
It starts with a call about your day: the guest count, the atmosphere, the moments that matter most to you. You have the vision. Klea learns it inside and out.
02Two months out
Day-of coordination actually begins two months before the wedding. Klea builds your final timeline, confirms every vendor, and reviews the contracts, so nothing is left to chance.
03Be present
On the day, Klea runs setup, vendors, and transitions from rehearsal through the last dance. Every logistic lives in her hands. You get to be there for all of it.

Elizabeth G · The Knot
“She was incredibly organized, decorated the whole venue beautifully, was prepared for literally everything and so personable!”
“it was truly the best gift to myself to take off all the wedding stress, and let myself enjoy the moment”

Asked &
answered
Is a day-of coordinator worth it?
For most Metro East and St. Louis couples, a day-of coordinator is the difference between attending your wedding and working it. Events By Klay takes over the timeline, the vendors, and the setup, so the plan you spent months building actually happens while you stay in the moment.
How much does a day-of coordinator cost?
Events By Klay coordination ranges from $450 to $2,500 depending on scope, and most couples invest between $1,600 and $2,500. Every package is listed on the services page, so you never have to book a call just to learn a number.
What is the difference between a venue coordinator and a wedding coordinator?
A venue coordinator works for the venue: the building, its staff, and its schedule. A wedding coordinator like Klea works for you: she confirms every vendor, runs your rehearsal, manages your timeline, and solves the day’s problems, including the ones that have nothing to do with the building.
When do you actually start working? Is day-of really just the day of?
Day-of coordination at Events By Klay begins two months before the wedding. Klea builds the final timeline, confirms and coordinates every vendor, reviews contracts, and runs the rehearsal before running the day itself. The industry sometimes calls this same service month-of coordination.
Can’t a friend or family member just do it?
Handing the day to a friend or your mom means someone you love works your wedding instead of living it. Events By Klay exists so every person on the guest list, including the two of you, gets to be a guest. Klea holds the timeline, the vendors, and the surprises.
