What is a Wedding Planner and why do you need one?
The purpose of a wedding planner is to step into a Bride’s dreams and help her make them a reality! Brides bring the vision of their future wedding day and planners bring the expertise. A wedding planner has the imagination and insider’s know-how to make your wedding exactly what you are looking for.
When planning your wedding, knowing where to start is often daunting. There may be aspects of your wedding day that you’ve been dreaming about since childhood, and you can entrust a planner to make those dreams come true. Newly engaged couples often don’t realize how much there really is to planning a wedding. It can be very stressful, time consuming and over-whelming.
Knowledge & Experience
A planner knows the best vendors in town and can negotiate with them to bring you the highest caliber for an affordable price. It is a planners job to know the “who, what, where, when and how.” They work hard to get your wedding day as close to perfect as possible. Should problems arise, your planner is there to trouble-shoot and solve them quickly, often times without you even knowing about it, in order to keep you stress-free.
Wedding planners and consultants used to be thought of as a luxury, only hired by the wealthy. That is not the case today. Planners are very affordable and with the growth of the wedding industry, planning a wedding with one is essential if you want a well-planned affair. There are wedding planners that cater to all types of brides and budgets.
Save Money & Time
A wedding planner will help you set a realistic wedding budget and work within that budget. In most cases, a wedding planner will save you money with their creativity and experienced approach to planning.
It has been reported that the average wedding takes between 150 and 250 hours to plan. Most brides don’t have that kind of time on top of the busy schedules they keep. Planners have the time and the talent to take that stress away. Wedding planners are there to work with you every step of the way and help you enjoy this exciting time. You should be able to look back and have fond memories of your engagement and remember this time as a happy time, not stressful and frustrating.
Family & Tradition
The bride and groom are the center of this special day, but there are a lot of other people involved in coordinating a wedding. Family, friends, bridesmaids, and groomsmen must all be considered in the decision-making. It can be difficult to please your loved ones and still have the wedding you and your groom desire. Planners can act as a buffer when dealing with these outside pressures.
A good planner is educated about different traditions and religious aspects of your special day. They specialize in being able to infuse your wedding with your own culture, style, and family traditions in ways you may not have thought of. Their training, knowledge, and experience will turn your dreams and expectations into reality. They want you to host a beautiful and distinctive event that you will always remember.
