Updated: Nov 20, 2020
Congratulations, you’ve gotten engaged and now the excitement begins! Engagement party, bridal shower, bachelor & bachelorette parties, dress shopping, choosing your wedding party, wedding planning and more await you now! Sounds overwhelming? Well, that’s why people like myself are here, Wedding Planners.
Many people always envision planning their own wedding, which is such a fun process. But only if you make it that way. If you don’t know where to start, who to hire for your vendors, or how to pick decor, it might be a good idea to hire a Wedding Planner. One of my favorite things about being an Event Planner is working closely with the client to bring their event to life with the vision they had. You can still be completely in control with your wedding when you hire a planner. They are there to guide you along the process and help you make decisions along the way. There’s many reasons why a Wedding Planner is beneficial to you, but here are just my top reasons:
They’ll lead you to amazing vendors.
Most Wedding Planners have networked throughout the industry and may be able to recommend some totally awesome vendors for your big day! If you are struggling to find a photographer, they may be able to connect you with one that they’ve worked with on a past wedding or event. If you are having a hard time choosing a venue, bring your planner with you on your venue tours and they’ll help you decide what location would work best for your vision. Your planner will probably recommend vendors they know and love working with. You’ll end up with a pretty solid wedding team!
They’ll help you make tough decisions.
With wedding planning comes decision making that can put a lot of stress on you and your fiancé. If anything, a Wedding Planner can help you with those tough choices. Maybe you can’t decide where to spend a certain amount of your budget. Your Planner can guide you and help you figure out what makes sense for your wedding. If you really want amazing florals, for example, your planner can help you decide what other elements you can cut back on in order to be able to put that extra money towards those amazing florals you are dreaming of. They’re also a great person to bounce ideas off of. We are there to help you decide what might best fit your style and what decor might fit your venue. Those little details that you may struggle with, Wedding Planners are experts in!
They’ll really be there for you 24/7.
The couple of weeks and days leading up to your wedding, your planner is going to be there for you whenever you need them. Wedding Planners know that it is important to be available pretty much 24/7 as your wedding approaches. Any of those last minute worries about things going wrong will be set to ease by your planner. They are there to really take over the day of so you can focus on getting married and enjoying the big day you've been planning for. Forget something last minute for your wedding? Your planner will be there to jump in where needed. Wedding Planners are meant to help you and make the planning process easier, exciting, and more enjoyable for you.
