Top 5 Reasons Why You Need a Wedding Planner
You hire a contractor to build your house. You hire a mechanic to fix your car. You trust trade professionals with all other aspects of your life— your wedding day should be no different!
Advocacy
Wedding planners not only know the ins and outs of the wedding business, but they are there to be your advocate—a neutral third party—to ensure your wishes and desires are met. It can be hard to tell your beloved Aunt Betty you don’t want to use her hand-knit floral centerpieces. But your wedding planner can easily say, “That’s not going to work with other design elements we’ve already purchased.” Your wedding planner will not only handle tough communications, they will also ensure your vision is met on the day of, when you should be focused on the vows you are making instead of wondering if the caterer parked in the right spot.
Timeline
Planning a timeline can be stressful and often you may not know the best time to begin your ceremony, reception, hair and make up, etc. Wedding planners understand how a wedding needs to flow, and the importance of a lotting enough time to each event so that you are not stressed. A well planned, and detailed timeline allows all your vendors to work efficiently and professionally to ensure that your day runs on time.
Budget
A key part of a wedding is the budget, and most likely you have one and want to stick to it. Hiring a planner will not only help you maximize your budget but it will keep you from going over it. Your planner is well aware of the prices and packages that vendors in your area offer, they will help steer you to the right people so that you get what you are looking for with out breaking your bank account. Now you might be thinking, why should I spend money out of my budget for a planner to do things I can do myself, and the answer is simple. You will spend more time and more money trying to do it all yourself then you will if you hire a professional that will help you find the best deals, talk to vendors and ultimately maximize your spending so that you get the most “bang for your buck!”
Execute your vision
You most likely have been envisioning your wedding day for a while now. You know what you want and you have the inspiration photos saved on Pinterest but you aren’t sure how eo execute it, where to find the decor, etc. This is where your planner steps in. A planner will know where to get rentals, how to oder those beautiful linen napkins, and how to put it all together so that is looks cohesive and matches the idea in your head. Think of a planner as your real life fairy god mother, taking your dream and making it a reality!
Peace of Mind
Utimately the most important thing on your wedding day is enjoying it with the person you are marrying. The last thing any one wants to see is a stressed bride, running around on her wedding day trying to set up decor, coordinate the vendor drop offs, and make sure everyone is in the right place at the right time. Not only does a situation like that take away from the specialness of your day, but it puts you in a bad head space, and in the end you end up focusing more on the details then the actual marriage. So the solution? You guessed it, HIRE A PLANNER, and have a peaceful wedding day, knowing that everything and everyone is taken care of, including yourself. You will be so grateful in the end that there was someone there to take care of any hiccups or issues that arose that day, and that you didn’t have the weight of it all on your shoulders.
