Planning a wedding can be stressful. Some may even term it as the most stressful thing they’ve ever done!
I bet you’re hyperventilating now, right?
Let me ease your mind with a magical solution; a Wedding Planner!
Think of them as your fairy godmother— they’ll whisk in and take all your troubles away and you can finally enjoy your wedding the way you’re meant to, AND still be the main hand in picking out every detail that goes in to your special day.
Still not convinced? Here are the top 5 reasons to hire a wedding planner:
They’re Experts
They’re called wedding planners for a reason! These are the pros at all things nuptial. They’ve done it all, and seen it all. They can handle whatever curveball that’s thrown at them, be it a grumpy relative or a last-minute floral fiasco. They are also great at finding the best possible vendors and venues- plus you don’t have to worry about them choosing them for a commission, ‘cause if anything goes wrong, it’s their reputation that’s on the line! 😉
It’s also the easier option, especially if you’re planning a destination wedding since it’s impractical for you to keep going back and forth, even if it’s just out of town. A wedding planner will coordinate with other professionals in and around your venue to ensure it’s all smooth sailing. In the meantime you can focus on the fun stuff like picking out a theme or your wedding attire.
Simply put, an experienced planner is one of the key investments you can make when bringing your wedding day to life.
Stay on Budget
It’s a common misconception that you’ll spend more money to hire a wedding planner than to plan one yourself.
Wedding planners are familiar with even the most minute of costs, therefore they are better equipped in laying out all the facts from the get-go. After you and your planner have figured out what services are needed, they’ll help you to stick within your budget, so you would very rarely exceed it; nobody likes any last minute surprises of the financial kind!!
They’ll Bring Your Vision to Life and Pitch in Fresh Ideas
If you want the wedding of your dreams to come true – just say the words and they’ll make sure it’s all brought to life right before your eyes, sparing no attention to detail.
You need to be very precise in choosing a planner for this exact reason; think of it like dating –play the field by meeting with a few planners and ask them all the questions you have in mind when it comes to putting this plan into action. Gauge their answers and see if you click with them. Always trust your gut instinct, after all you’re going to be working very closely with your planner for months so make sure it’s someone you can work well with!
It’s becoming increasingly tedious to think of new ideas, since we live in an era where trends change as fast as the weather does, (thanks, boomers) but your wedding planner will definitely know both the latest trends and classic ideas for wedding inspiration, or can help you come up with something totally unique.
Pay Attention to Detail
There will be some things that will demand all your attention, for example the retinue’s outfits or picking out the right flavour of wedding cake. However, it’s hard to get every little detail right when you’re trying to do it all on your own. A wedding planner’s job is to miss no detail for this special day. This lifts a huge weight off your shoulders – no more need to be a wedding perfectionist. Let your wedding planner make sure everything is taken care of so the day goes smoothly.
They Can Help You Enjoy the Day
Your wedding planner will in fact, be your safety blanket. They will be the one to make all the big decisions if something goes wrong; if you’re having an outdoor wedding and it starts to pour, they’ll make the call to re-assemble everything indoors and make sure it’s as good –or even better than your original plan..and guess what?! your only order of business is to soak up every memorable second, which is why so many couples hire a wedding planner. Trust the pro you’ve hired to do their job, and let go of control on the day of your wedding. Working with a planner also means you’ll get to spend precious extra time with loved ones instead of worrying over little details. Trust us on this one—you want (and deserve) a helping hand on your wedding day. After all, this is going to be the happiest day of your life.
