Why You Should Hire a Wedding Planner

Your wedding day is one of the best days of your life. It consists of all of the little (and big) things that represent you as a couple, a day for all of your friends and loved ones to enjoy and one that you’ll remember forever. There are so many aspects that you need to focus on in order to bring it all together though, which is why this can be such a stressful time for brides too.

Hiring a wedding planner can make this joyful time a little easier on your nerves. Here are a few reasons why you should consider hiring a professional planner. There are a lot of choices for wedding planners/coordinators on social media sites.

Stop for a moment before you let the $$ influence you. Prices vary with experience. Before you jump on the lowest dollar, check out how many weddings have they done? Have they worked under someone long enough to gain the experience necessary to do the job? You can find this out, hopefully, first by asking them, but also by real couple reviews. Most importantly, are they actually a business that carries insurance, can you look them up and tell that they are invested or are they a hobbyist that is doing this on the side?

Reason #1: You’ve never done this before.

Chances are you and your fiancé have not planned a wedding before. Even if you have, there are always new and exciting trends, venues, and vendors popping up so it’s never the same. Some brides feel that they can plan their own weddings because they’ve helped a sister or best friend plan theirs but planning your own wedding is completely different. A professional wedding planner is the best person to guide you through this intricate process.

Reason #2: Don’t let the stress get to you.

Planning a wedding is harder than it looks and if you are already losing sleep over your massive to-do list, hiring a wedding planner can really make the entire process much more manageable and enjoyable for you. You should be excited about your big day, not stressed and tearful. We will keep you on track with hiring vendors and make sure that you have everything you need for your big day.

Reason #3: You’re unsure about the costs involved.

I mentioned this in my last blog on Wedding Budgets. If you’re in the process of putting a budget together and would like some more guidance on what to expect based on your unique preferences, a wedding planner can be your guide. A wedding planner can offer you great insights on industry norms and trends and what you can expect. They can also really help you stick to your budget.

Reason #4: You need a push start, someone to keep you on track.

A wedding planner can help you get the ball rolling so that you can start making all the important decisions. They’ll help bring your vision together and put you in touch with vendors who can help bring your day to life. We are there to keep you on track with timing for hiring vendors.

Lastly, it helps to have someone neutral to talk to and talk through your visions and concerns you are having while going through the planning process. We don’t pass judgement and will give you the support you need! Happy Planning!
