Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience—and while it’s exciting, it can also come with a lot of moving parts. At Sewell Celebrations, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle vendors, timelines, and all the little details while trying to enjoy your engagement. That’s where we come in. As dedicated wedding coordinators based in East Tennessee, we’re here to bring clarity, calm, and confidence to your wedding day.
Whether you’re working with a planner already or pulling everything together on your own, our coordination services are designed to support you where you need it most. From finalizing logistics to managing vendors, running your timeline, and solving issues before they even reach you—we ensure your day unfolds exactly the way you imagined it. We specialize in everything from day-of coordination to last-minute planning support, especially for couples getting married in Knoxville, Athens, Maryville, Sevierville, and beyond.
Below, you’ll find answers to the questions we hear most often. These cover everything from what our services include to how far we travel and when to book. If you have a question that isn’t listed here, we’d love to chat. Just reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help however we can.
What exactly does a wedding coordinator do?
A wedding coordinator ensures that everything on your big day runs smoothly. We manage the timeline, communicate with vendors, handle any hiccups, and make sure your ceremony and reception unfold just the way you planned. Think of us as your calm, organized best friends on one of the most important days of your life.
How is a coordinator different from a wedding planner?
A wedding planner helps you design and plan the wedding over months—handling budgeting, design, and vendor selection. A wedding coordinator (what we do) typically comes in closer to the wedding date to manage logistics, finalize details, and run the day-of operations. We also offer last-minute planning and same-day coordination packages.
When should I book a wedding coordinator?
As early as possible! We often book out several months in advance—especially for peak wedding season (spring and fall in East Tennessee). That said, we’re also here for last-minute bookings, and can jump in quickly when you need us.
Do you travel outside Knoxville or East Tennessee?
Yes! While we’re based in Knoxville, we happily serve all of East Tennessee—including Maryville, Sevierville, Chattanooga, and Grainger County. For locations further out, just reach out and we’ll see what’s possible!
What types of venues do you work with?
From rustic barns and mountaintop overlooks to elegant ballrooms and intimate backyard weddings—we’ve coordinated events in a wide variety of venues. We’re adaptable, creative, and love bringing your unique vision to life no matter the setting.
Can you help with last-minute planning or day-of only?
Absolutely! Same-day coordination is one of our specialties. Even if your wedding is just a few weeks away, we can help bring it all together so you can focus on enjoying the moment.
What do your services cost?
We offer a variety of packages to fit different needs and budgets. While we don’t list exact prices online, we’re happy to provide a custom quote based on your vision, guest count, and coordination needs. Reach out here for a free consultation!
