Membership Information

As AWEC members, we strive to provide couples with the coordination services needed to ensure their wedding dreams become a reality. AWEC coordinators provide the needed services that allow the happy couple to worry about nothing more on their wedding day than saying, "I do".

As established in our Mission Statement, AWEC is dedicated to providing professional assistance to wedding couples. To that end, we work to expand awareness of local service professionals amongst ourselves and our clients, create an open forum for problem solving, discussion, and the exchange of ideas, and finally, to raise the standard of service within our industry.

Annual membership fees are $150.00. Our monthly meeting assessment is $25.00 for members. AWEC provides membership opportunities for current wedding coordinators, coordinators starting their businesses, and industry vendors.

We encourage and invite all interested wedding coordinators to join our organization. For detailed coordinator membership information, please contact membership@AWEC.org
