There are many reasons to hire a Wedding Planner, but these are my top three. My best advice to any bride is to at least have a Wedding Day Coordinator to ensure the wedding goes smoothly and everyone involved is at ease.
1) Save Time: Planning a wedding is a full-time job. There are a lot of little details to think of and hundreds of vendors out there to choose from. A planner will do all the leg work for you and recommend vendors that match your style.
2) Save Money: While you may think Wedding Planners are a big expense, we actually come in all different price ranges and offer packages for any budget. Wedding Planners are not the big luxury we used to be. We save you money by getting deals from vendors we partner with and after all, time is money.
3) Save Stress: A stressed bride is not a happy bride. Wedding Planners can put your worries to rest by taking care of the details for you. On your wedding day, you just need to show up and have a good time. The Wedding Planner is the one dealing with vendors and to-dos. You and your family and friends can relax, because they deserve to have a good time too!
I never really considered the “save money” aspect… good post!
Thanks Ben! It’s all about perspective and priorities.
I tell my brides that my goal is to save the amount of my fee for them, that it’s not an extra cost to their budget, it just fits within it, and I know enough vendors and have enough resources and experiences to guarantee it. I also tell them that the whole idea of getting a wedding planner is that I plan their wedding while they go on with their lives! It’s all about time and money, and having a wall to bounce their ideas and vision off of.
That’s exactly right! Thanks for the input, Liz.
