Somebody has to run the day. Hazel is very good at it.

How I know Hazel

I married Hazel and Matt on 3 August 2024 at the Mackintosh Church at Queen's Cross, with Matt's mum playing the piano and a piper to send them out. (Their story is here, horse and all.) So I have seen a wedding from Hazel's side of the aisle, which is a good start for anyone whose job is making other people's weddings run smoothly.

Two years later I walked into Pollokshields Burgh Hall to take Nadia and Rob's wedding and found Hazel running the show. There was a piper for the guests arriving, a big crowd over from Ireland, a playlist the couple had built themselves and a wee ring-bearer with his mum. Hazel had all of it in hand. When a celebrant can stand at the front and simply get on with the ceremony, it's usually because somebody like Hazel is quietly doing everything else. Two years ago I was marrying her. Now I get to work with her, and I'm very glad of it.

Why a coordinator matters for the ceremony

From where I stand, the twenty minutes before a ceremony decide how the whole thing feels. Guests need gathered and seated, the music needs cued at the right moment, and the bridal party needs to leave the room in the right order. Afterwards, the Marriage Schedule has been signed and needs kept safe, because it has to go back to the registrar within three days. None of that is my job at a dry-hire venue, and none of it should be the couple's job on their wedding day. A coordinator takes it off everybody's hands.

It matters most anywhere without an in-house wedding team: dry-hire halls like the Burgh Hall, village halls, private function rooms and the kind of venue where you bring in your own caterer. If you're planning one of those, read my notes on what happens at a humanist wedding so you know what needs coordinating in the first place.

What she offers

Hazel's packages build on each other, so you pay for as much of the day as you want looked after:

• Ceremony Coordination (est. £150): greeting guests, liaising with the celebrant, calling everyone to the ceremony, cueing the bridal party and securing the Marriage Schedule.
• Up to Dinner (est. £450): all of the above, plus calling guests to dinner and announcing the couple and bridal party.
• Up to First Dance (est. £620): adds calling guests from the dining room, announcing the first dance and liaising with the band or DJ.
• All Day (est. £840): pre-wedding advice, everything above, helping the bridal party throughout the day, and the clear-up.

She also offers a pre-wedding service checking your requirements with suppliers, coordination for food truck events on behalf of caterers, and bespoke requests. The prices are Hazel's own estimates as listed on her website in September 2026, so confirm the details with her.

What her couples say

"You are an amazing wedding coordinator and we couldn't have done it without you - the day blew every expectation that we had." Hannah and Craig

"You really were our fairy godmother on the wedding day, and both Lewis and I couldn't have been happier with all the help and support." Marta and Lewis

Both from Hazel's website.
