THE PLANNER TABLE
A Two-Week South Asian Wedding Planning & Coordination Intensive
Take your seat at The Planner Table, an immersive two week training experience designed for wedding planners who want to confidently plan, produce, and coordinate elevated South Asian weddings from the first inquiry to the final farewell.
This is not just a course about weddings. It is an inside look at how to actually plan and execute them, from building the budget and managing families to creating multi event celebrations, developing timelines, directing vendors, and executing the wedding day.
WEEK ONE

WEEK TWO
THE COORDINATION TABLE
5 Days Focused on Wedding Day Coordination
Now it is time to take everything you planned and learn how to bring it to life.

• Learn how to transform months of planning into a clear and executable wedding day timeline.
• Master master timelines, vendor timelines, family timelines, ceremony timelines, and cue sheets.

• Learn how to communicate with entertainment, décor, catering, venue teams, AV, photo and video teams, and specialty vendors in real time.
• Learn how to run a wedding day rather than simply follow a timeline.
• Practice making quick decisions, solving problems, managing delays, and keeping the couple and family calm while you manage what is happening behind the scenes.
• Learn how to lead your coordination team, delegate responsibilities, and create a clear chain of command.
• Learn how to prepare for final client meetings, rehearsals, vendor confirmations, wedding day briefings, and post event follow up.

• Understand what separates a coordinator who is simply present from a coordinator who is confidently directing the entire production.
• Participate in a full simulated South Asian wedding day where you will put your coordination skills into practice.
