Read what they have to say about their experiences with us. Kristin I highly recommend Horseshoe Tavern for anyone looking for an exceptional event coordinator. They were incredibly detail-oriented throughout the entire planning process, catching things I never would have thought of and ensuring every aspect of our wedding party was perfectly organized. Communication was fantastic from start to finish—they were responsive, clear, and proactive, which made planning so much easier and much less stressful. On the day of the event, they went above and beyond by assisting with both setup and teardown, and they stayed on site the entire time to make sure everything ran smoothly. Because of their professionalism and dedication, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our day. I’m extremely grateful for their hard work and would absolutely work with them again for future events.

Frequently Asked Questions Wedding Coordination Q&A Mobile Bar Q&A What’s the difference between wedding planning and wedding coordination? Wedding planning provides support throughout the entire planning process—from vendor recommendations and budgeting to design ideas and timelines. Wedding coordination focuses on the final details and managing the logistics of your wedding day so everything runs smoothly. When should we hire a planner or coordinator? The sooner the better! Many couples book a planner early in the process for guidance along the way. Coordinators are often booked months in advance even though their services begin closer to the wedding day. What does a wedding coordinator do? A coordinator steps in during the final weeks before your wedding to confirm vendor details, finalize your timeline, manage your rehearsal, and oversee the entire wedding day so you can relax and enjoy the celebration. Will you work with our vendors? Absolutely. We’re happy to work with any vendors you’ve already chosen and can also recommend trusted professionals if you’re still building your vendor team. Why do we need a coordinator if our venue has one? Venue coordinators manage the venue and its staff. A wedding coordinator works for you, overseeing the entire timeline, vendors, décor details, and logistics of the day. How do we get started? Simply reach out through our inquiry form and we’ll schedule a call to learn more about your wedding and help determine which level of support is right for you. What are your different packages and the pricing for each? Every event is unique, and pricing can vary depending on guest count, service time, setup, location, and the level of service you choose. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all pricing, we provide customized quotes so you only pay for what you actually need for your event. We have day of coordination, full service coordination as well as design services. Do you offer wedding design services? Yes! In addition to planning and coordination, we offer wedding design services to help bring your overall vision to life. We work with you to develop your color palette, theme, and aesthetic while guiding décor choices so every visual detail feels cohesive and intentional. Can you help if I already have some décor or a vision in mind? Absolutely. Many couples come to us with Pinterest inspiration, décor pieces, or a general theme. We help refine those ideas, organize them into a cohesive design plan, and ensure everything works together beautifully. Do you offer décor setup services? Yes. If you already have your décor but don’t want the stress of setting it up on your wedding day, we can handle the entire setup process for you. Our team will follow your instructions and ensure every detail is placed exactly how you envision. What if I don’t know my wedding style yet? That’s completely normal! Many couples start planning without a clear vision. Our design process helps you explore inspiration, identify your style, and create a cohesive look that reflects your personality and story. What if our wedding isn’t in Southwest Florida? Do you offer coordination in other states? Yes! While we are based in Southwest Florida, we are available to travel for weddings in other parts of Florida and across the United States. If your wedding is outside our local area, we simply add a travel fee to cover transportation and accommodations for our team. Many planners travel for weddings, especially for destination events, and those costs are typically covered by the couple. We’re happy to discuss your location, logistics, and how we can support your wedding, no matter where it takes place.
