Why Should I Hire a Planner? Why Details?

Why Hire a Planner?

Let’s face it – when most of us think of wedding coordinators we think pretentious, costly and unnecessary. The way movies and TV shows portray them, one might think a wedding planner is only for the very rich and extravagant but that’s just not true. Having one assist you can make your life much, much easier and make your wedding more enjoyable for everyone. Here are some reasons why you should consider hiring a wedding coordinator.

Your Time Saved – Part of a wedding planner’s job is to research vendors and details for you. Without a wedding planner, the bride is left to do this for herself which takes a lot of time and energy.

Your Money Saved – Since wedding planners are so well acquainted with various vendors, they can work with each to negotiate special pricing for you. They also work with you to create a personal budget – and help you stick with it.

Your Relationships Saved – Because planning a wedding can be so stressful, it is easy to find yourself bickering with your friends and family. A wedding planner does the jobs you might normally assign to those closest to you and in doing so, can save you unneeded grief and help make your day truly special for all.

Your Liaison – The average number of vendors for any given wedding is 22. Between squabbling with vendors and handling the concerns of your family and guests, a wedding planner can be your person with all the answers.

Your Scheduler – When your big day arrives, you don’t want to be worrying about where everyone is supposed to be, and where they actually are, at all times. Let your wedding planner create a schedule for everyone involved so that things will run smoothly.

Your Crisis Manager – It is almost inevitable that some crisis will occur on your wedding day and who better to turn to than a cool and calm professional who can handle the situation for you?

Your Peace of Mind – A wedding planner is helpful not only with the decision making in the months leading up to your special day but can also be there for you from your rehearsal to the reception. You want to relax and enjoy your day with those you love – not worry about all the details.

Your Inspirational Guide – Every bride and groom wants their wedding to stand out in the minds of their guests. A wedding planner has lots of great ideas on how to make your wedding one to remember.

Your Etiquette Guide – Weddings have a special decorum all their own and the language and tricks necessary in planning one may sound foreign to you, but your planner will be fluent. The professional planner understands exactly what you need.

Clean-up Director – This is something most brides and grooms may not consider much in advance because they are so focused on how things go ­during the event, as they should be. Let your wedding planner handle the aftereffects.

Your Personal Representative – Oftentimes, venues offer something called an event manager who says they can plan your wedding. A venue planner focuses on the details as they relate to their facility. The facility function is just one piece of a very large pie. A wedding planner is like your personal assistant; totally focused on you and your day as well as ALL aspects that you have selected they coordinate.

The Task Master – A wedding planner knows all there is to know about weddings, as they should since that is their job. Many brides do not realize the details, time and energy that go into a wedding but a wedding planner can make sure you have all your bases covered.
