Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Wedding Planner
Don' sweat the small stuff. That's what we are here for. |
Treat yourself — Most brides who hire a planner say they did it as a gift to themselves.
They understand that planning a wedding is tough and stressful. Why put
yourself through that if you don’t have to? Think of a wedding planner as a
wedding gift to yourself.
Mishaps – Let’s be honest, as much as you would like your day to run exactly
as planned, it’s nearly impossible to make that happen without someone there to
run the day. Who is going to make sure the vendors arrive on time, the tables
are set according to your vision, the cake isn’t melting, the groom has his
pants for his tuxedo, and the groomsmen are where they need to be? On your wedding
day, you should be focusing on getting your hair done and putting on that
beautiful gown, surrounded by friends and family, not on the phone talking to
the DJ who can’t find the venue.
To stay the course — When you first get engaged, it’s so exciting and new, all of a
sudden your primary focus is on everything “wedding”. From Pinterest to magazine after magazine, it’s all you can think about. Maybe you know
exactly what you want, but are having a hard time putting the pieces together
so you are spending every waking second trying to figure it out! Or if you are
the opposite and have absolutely NO time to throw together a large scale event.
Either way, it’s incredibly easy to get off track. A planner will be there with
you guiding you through the rough spots and will make it easy for you to stay
on the course to your big day.
Save money – Since planners have so many relationships with vendors, we are
more likely to get a better savings for you. We also know what’s important and
what is unnecessary so you don’t waste your money on things you don’t need. A
planner has planned countless events and knows how to make it work the first
time so you don’t have to worry about ordering the wrong table sizes with
linens that don’t reach the floor, or order items that are already included in
your venues price.
An experienced hand — A wedding planner
has been there. Most people planning a wedding have never planned a large scale
event and aren’t sure of how many moving parts there are to a wedding. A planner knows. There are countless details to ensure the entire day and evening run smoothly, if certain things aren’t tended to, it can create quite the mess to clean up. They also know what questions to ask your vendors so you can trust that everything will fit together properly.
Book-keeping — How many vendors do I have? What’s their email? What’s their phone? When is the contract due? What dates are the payments due? When is our next appointment? Who do I still need to book? When is my fitting? Keeping track of all these things is a difficult job. Let a planner do it for you.
A fresh perspective — Sometimes, all the well-meaning advice can get a little out of hand. You have everyone you know telling you something different about the way things “should” be at YOUR wedding. A planner will listen to YOUR vision and help you create what YOU want, not what your Aunt Matilda wants. Sometimes, advice from a friend is good, but advice from a planner is always great.
Vendor relationships – Part of a planners job is to spend time researching and getting to know the best vendors out there. We plan multiple events at a time and have established relationships with vendors and refer clients constantly. A vendor is more likely to negotiate with a wedding planner since they are sure to refer continuously and give them repeat business. A bride by herself is a one time customer, but a planner is a repeat one.
Really! We've got your back. |
