Hello Wedding Watchers! It’s been some time, but I’m back. Let’s talk wedding planning. Prepping for a wedding is huge time commitment and takes a lot of patience. You have to come up with a theme, search for and book different vendors, and let’s not get started on the details. This takes months to plan it all out and hours to work out the details. Well I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to do it alone. With work, everyday life, and wedding planning, it could be an overwhelming process. A wedding planner is there to help through this process. They make it enjoyable and easier for you. Here are 8 reasons why you should drop what you’re doing and hire a pro.
- This one is easy. They’ll take on all the responsibility. Hiring a wedding planner allows you take a break from all the time consuming planning tasks. They communicate with vendors, set all your appointments and comb through all details for your big day!
2. They know all the people on the inside. Planners are very knowledgable when it comes to all different types of vendors and have a list of the best vendors for the occasion. They communicate with the florists, photographers, venue, DJ… you name it, they’ve got it covered. So what does this mean for you? This means that you can give Google search a break.
3. Budget, Budget, Budget. So important. Most couples have a set budget that they would like to stick to. Planners help with budgeting and keeping the couple on schedule. The planner will not only help you get the most for your money, but will also help get the best deals and crunch numbers. She will also put together a timeline and ensure everything is being completed within that timeframe.
4. Problem solvers. Problems can arise and who better suited to deal with them than your planner. Wedding planning should not be stressful and we know how stressed people can get once a problem arises. Leave it to your planner. That is what they are there for. Any issue that comes up, they are well equipped to handle them all. Sit back and relax, they’ve got it.
5. You’ll be introduced and exposed to new ideas. A lot of brides use Pinterest creating boards for their wedding. Pinterest gives a ton of awesome ideas…a ton. This also can get out of hand. One minute you think you’re planning a rustic wedding, and the next minute you have a board for a rustic, modern, backyard- barn wedding. A planner has really good, fresh ideas. She can brainstorm different ideas and really expand your thinking. She can add unique ideas to your vision as well.
6. They bring your vision to life. Come with all your ideas, vision boards, notebooks… whatever. They love it! It’s so important for a planner to know their couple and not just look at their vision, but to understand the couples vision. This helps a planner continue to build ideas to ensure your vision is everything and so much more.
7. They give good advice and help in sticky situations. There is that common problem brides have when their mother wants to see her in something particular and the bride really isn’t feeling it. It could be that their mother thinks it’s their wedding and tries to take over. Maybe they’re clashing with their MIL. How much should your bridesmaids spend? A bridesmaid is being difficult. An experienced planner can help guide the bride through these hairy situations and ensure they’re resolved before the big day.
8. Of course you’ll have a lot of assistance on your wedding day. You can sit back relax and feel confident that your planner is handling everything. They are the point person with all the vendors, take charge in all aspects, coordinate and make sure all runs smoothly. She’s the first one to be there if any issues arise. You won’t need to worry about a thing- just dance, drink and be married!
