7 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Planner:
1. Provides Expertise – To plan, coordinate and direct the complete
wedding from planning through execution.
2. Saves Time – The wedding planner has done the research, knows the
market, and therefore has the knowledge and expertise to locate sites,
venues, rentals, design concepts, products, and procedures that go
into planning a dream wedding.
3. Saves Money –
The best planners maximize the bride’s buying power
with the vendors, know cost-effective methods, and execute secrets of
the trade. Yes believe it or not, wedding planner fees often come out
in the wash after they have been able to keep you in budget and save
you time and money.
 4. Keep the peace –
Newsflash – Brides don’t REALLY want to be bridezillas, but most of them feel they have to be a little persuasive
to ensure things get done properly. Wedding Planners act as a buffer
between the bride and the rest of the party. They are often the third
party who step-in for the bride in times where vendors dispute, or the
salad entrée is late, or just to make that one maverick groomsman
listen-up!
5. Solves Problems –
Wedding Planners have seen it all and are able to
anticipate and identify potential problems, thus avoiding them before
they happen.
6. Key Contact
- Planners are responsible for the coordination of the
day. In short, they will make sure your vendors have the timelines,
maps, directions, catering plans, reception schedule, music schedule,
seating charts, menu selections, etc etc, that it takes to make the
day run without pause. For example, while you are mingling with your
guests at cocktail hour, they are making sure your cake has arrived,
that your place cards are in perfect alphabetical order, your
centerpieces are set, bows are perfectly tied on all the chairs, and
that the hotel has provided the appropriate electrical needs for your
10 piece band.
7. Most Important – Keeps the bride cool and calm. There is no second
chance to have a perfect wedding day. You don’t get to do it all over
next weekend because you didn’t have a good time. Brides who use
planners will walk through the day looking beautiful – because they
are smiling – they know things are taken care of.
