Why hire a wedding planner

Wedding planners also known as coordinators and event planners will help you organize your big day.


The Undertakings of Wedding Planners
 
The Starting process
 

• Wedding planners start off by meeting with the couple to:
• Understand the event and recognize the services needed.
• Evaluate the overall budget
• Understand the style, colors, vibe, and taste of the couple
• Discuss progress to date
• The planner then proposes the help needed and presents the couple with a contract for wedding planning services. The services will be a combination of duties, depending on your needs and budget.

 
 
Organizational Queens
Your planner will:

• Produce and review vendor contracts
• Organize your wedding day timeline
• Coordinate vendor arrivals and deliveries with your venues
• Prevent expensive mishaps such as rush shipping charges or unnecessary changes
• Remind you of obligations, appointments, and budget limits

 
Style Mavens
A wedding planner can:

• Provide ideas, and tell you about current trends
• Help pull together any incoherent elements, and produce a unified look
• See and add details you might have overlooked
• Coordinate all vendors
• Help you choose your bridal gown and/or groom's wear, bridesmaid dresses and other wedding party attire
• Find coordinating and fashionable favors
• Design your tables, lighting and other visual details.

 
Peace Makers
If you regularly argue with your parents or each other, wedding planners can use their negotiating skills to establish peace. Whether it's talking to the mother-of-the-groom about the revolting dress she requests to wear, helping to arbitrate budget disagreements, or saving you from etiquette hindrances, wedding planners can be very useful.
 
Vendor Resources
Experienced wedding planners have contacts in the business, so they may be able to find you that reception venue with the perfect view, or the one caterer who will work with trifling budgets. They may also be able to pull in favors to get discounts or perks.
