It’s very possible that when you think about hiring the wedding planner, you also think to yourself, is that even necessary? Many couples believe that this role at a wedding seems like an added cost that isn’t needed… Like it’s an added perk for a fancy fee – I get it
But, The BEST wedding planners don’t just make your event look great. They make sure all the operations and logistics for your day are pre planned and executed to the highest standards possible. They simply make your day memorable and allow couples to forget about the stress the wedding & the wedding planning process can bring.
Let me help you understand the importance of a hiring the wedding planner and how you can stay on budget at the same time.
1.The wedding planner will actually save you time & money
At the end of the day, time is money. And let’s be real, your life doesn’t stop and give you new spare time to plan a wedding. Many times when couples are in the wedding planning process they are still working full time jobs, managing house holds & have full plates. Luckily, hiring a planner helps to ease this major pain.
When you hire a professional, they are the ones who bring experience to the table. This is their full time job & they are use to managing the roles of a wedding. This factor of time & money that might want to deter you from hiring the wedding planner might cost you more in the long run. Not only in the months leading up to the wedding, but also on the day of the wedding, your GO TO WEDDING PRO will be the one to take on responsibilities that the couple shouldn’t have to.
2. When in doubt the wedding planner has your back
It’s no surprise that during your wedding planning process you will talk and encounter many different vendors. If you hire a planner, they will be able to give you vendor recommendations, negotiate contracts for you, an help to determine where you are able to cut costs.
In addition, the wedding planner will likely become a florist, a server, a bartender or even a Dj at some point in your event. When the florist leaves but forgets to decorate your cake, the wedding planner will step up. When its time for your toasts and your Dj needs assistance to hand off the microphone, the wedding planner will step up. If dinner is ready and its time to clear plates for the next course, the wedding planner will step up.
All in all, the planner is an extra pair of hands on your wedding day. They will not let things slip through the cracks. They have your back and they make sure to be the ones to over communicate every to all your vendors.
3. Wedding day things to go without
