I’ve been handling “remote day-of coordination” for out-of-state couples by running vendor confirmations and timeline edits in Notion and Slack, then booking a trusted local assistant for on-site eyes. If you try this, set a 30‑min video walkthrough checklist and a backup contact per vendor — Zoom herding is real — but be upfront that travel or a local proxy may still be needed.

I’ve had great results creating a vendor-only WhatsApp thread for day-of, pinning the final timeline and dropping 15-sec voice notes for updates; @vanessa_l99 is right on proxies, but I still budget a local runner for anything that truly needs hands.
