How much does a wedding coordinator cost in Tampa?

Wedding coordination in Tampa typically costs $2,000-$3,500 for day-of services. The Wedding Collective offers complete packages starting at $6,995 that include coordination, professional DJ, dance choreography, and MC services—everything under one invoice.

What does a wedding coordinator do?

A wedding coordinator manages vendors, creates timelines, handles setup, and ensures your wedding day runs smoothly. The Wedding Collective goes further by also providing DJ services, professional MC hosting, and dance choreography as a complete production team.

Do I need a wedding coordinator?

If you're hiring 5+ vendors (venue, catering, photography, DJ, florals), a coordinator ensures they work together seamlessly. Without one, you become the project manager on your wedding day instead of enjoying it.

How much does a wedding DJ cost in Tampa Bay?

Professional wedding DJs in Tampa Bay cost $1,000-$2,500 for 4-6 hours. The Wedding Collective's packages include professional DJ services with premium sound and lighting, eliminating the need to hire and coordinate a separate DJ vendor.

When should I hire a wedding coordinator?

Book your wedding coordinator when you book your venue (12-18 months before). The Wedding Collective begins service 60-90 days before your wedding, giving enough time to contact vendors, create timelines, and ensure flawless execution.

How long does it take to learn a wedding first dance?

Most couples become confident dancers in 6-8 weeks with weekly lessons. The Wedding Collective includes 8 private dance lessons in all packages, transforming nervous couples into confident performers.

What's the difference between a wedding planner and coordinator?

Wedding planners help you select and book vendors over 12+ months. Wedding coordinators take over 1-3 months before the wedding to manage vendors you've already hired. The Wedding Collective provides production coordination, managing all aspects of your wedding day including DJ, MC, and dance choreography.

Do I need dance lessons for my wedding?

While not required, dance lessons transform your first dance from an awkward moment into a confident, memorable performance. After 1,500+ weddings, we've seen couples go from 'two left feet' to amazing their guests in just 8 lessons.

What is day-of wedding coordination?

Day-of coordination means a coordinator manages your wedding day timeline, vendor arrivals, setup, and ensures everything runs smoothly. The Wedding Collective provides full production coordination starting 60-90 days out, not just day-of management.

How much does a bilingual wedding MC cost in Tampa?

Bilingual (English/Spanish) wedding MC services in Tampa typically cost $1,500-$2,500. The Wedding Collective includes professional bilingual hosting in all packages, making it easy for families with guests who speak different languages.

The Cost Creep

The Project Manager Trap

Instead of being the bride or groom, you become the project manager. Putting out fires on your wedding day instead of getting ready.

Sound Familiar?

"Our DJ and coordinator aren't communicating and our wedding is in 6 weeks."

"We're terrified of our first dance. Everyone will be watching and we have no idea what we're doing."

"We've spent $8,000 on separate vendors and I'm still playing project manager instead of enjoying being engaged."

There's a Better Way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Regular coordinators manage a timeline you create. We PRODUCE your wedding. We coordinate ALL vendors, line up your ceremony, manage photographer timing, AND serve as your professional MC. You get production coordination + MC services from someone who has done this 100+ times per year for 15 years.

All packages include professional DJ services. The Essential includes 4 hours + lighting. The Family Affair includes 5 hours + uplights. The Grand Production includes 6 hours, intelligent lighting, and CO2 cannons. We also have access to live bands if preferred!

Perfect! We will coordinate any vendors you've already hired. Our job is to make sure everyone performs at their best and stays on timeline. Most couples have venue and photographer booked when they hire us.

Absolutely. Every wedding is unique. We'll work with you to create exactly what you need. Many couples add or remove specific services.

Tampa Bay wedding venues book 12-18 months in advance. We recommend booking your coordination and DJ services at the same time you book your venue. For 2026/2027, availability is limited.

Your first dance is the moment everyone is watching. Most couples tell us "we have two left feet" then take lessons and realize it's fun and confident. It becomes a highlight instead of something to survive. However, we can create packages without choreography if preferred.

In 15 years, we've never missed a wedding. We have backup coordinators and equipment. Because we PRODUCE the wedding, we usually catch problems before they become disasters. You'll likely never know there was a problem because we solve it first.

Yes. We require a 25% deposit to secure your date, with remaining balance due 30 days before your wedding. Custom payment plans available for The Grand Production package.

We serve Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Sarasota, Bradenton, Palm Harbor, Largo, and Dunedin. Travel fees may apply for weddings outside a 50-mile radius of Tampa.

Yes! We offer professional bilingual (English/Spanish) MC and coordination services. This is included in all packages.

We only book ONE wedding per day. You get our complete, undivided attention from setup through teardown.
