Your venue has a coordinator… so do you really need a planner?

We hear this a lot, and the short answer is 'yes!'

A venue coordinator manages the property. A wedding planner manages you, your people, your priorities, and your peace of mind.

At Julie Rupert Events, we believe collaboration makes your day seamless. When everyone works together and plays their part, your wedding day is better for it!

Our latest blog post answers this question in depth. Be sure to check it out: https://www.julierupertevents.com/blog-jre/venue-coordinator-vs-wedding-planner

Help us wish Julie & her husband Geoff a happy anniversary!

21 years ago today, they said “I do” at Patuxent Greens in Maryland. It was a day filled with shades of pink, their favorite people, and the very friends that introduced them and stood by their side as Best Man and Maid of Honor.

Like many wedding days, theirs had its share of surprises... like a canceled limo and a post-photo downpour 😬

If Julie could go back and change one thing? She’d hire a planner. Back then, that wasn’t the norm, and as the friend everyone turned to for wedding help, she thought she could manage it all.

She did...but looking back, she realizes how much more present she could’ve been. It’s one of the big reasons Julie Rupert Events exists today. To make sure couples don’t have to juggle it all or miss a moment on the day they’ve waited for.

Julie and Geoff now live in Forest, VA, and are proud parents to their daughter, Molly who is 18.

Happy Anniversary, Ruperts!! 🥂
