Why do I need a Wedding Planner?
Congratulations, you are engaged! The ring, telling your family and friends, enjoying the moment when he/she popped the question and you said "yes!", it has been a whirlwind and you are so excited. Now it is time to plan. Where do you start??? Unless you have planned a wedding before, been close with someone else who has, or worked as a wedding planner, the task can be daunting. Not only is it difficult to think ahead and make sure you don't miss anything, but most of us also have day to day real life jobs or family responsibilities to contend with. The best idea...hire a planner. "Hire a planner?", you say. Yes, hire a planner. Now for most brides budget is an issue, and a planner sounds expensive. Will it cost you something? Why, yes it will, but in the long run it can save you dollars on vendors and venues and most importantly it can save you stress. Although the economy has had many of us in a pinch for a few years now, the last place you want to cut corners is on your wedding. A good planner will work to design and coordinate a dream wedding well within your budget. Now this doesn't mean that you may not have to compromise some ideas. You can't have a $250,000 wedding on $25,000.00. However, you can have an elegant, exciting, and beautiful day to remember within you price range. From the minute you hire your planner. You should be seeing results. Signing on the dotted line means your planner is now looking out for your best interest. Discussing your vision with you, creating idea/story boards of your colors and themes, getting to know you and your future spouse in order to understand what your likes and dislikes are, and beginning to formulate a prompt book of guidelines for your big day. Once you have your choices narrowed down your planner will really go to work introducing you to venues and vendors, making arrangements for you to see at least three choices of each so that you have a diverse pool to choose from. Once you point your finger at one, she will move on to the next category. Your wedding planner should organize every decision, coordinate every contract, arrange all the details and make sure you don't miss anything. Most importantly, once everything is in place, your planner will be there on the day of your wedding to handle every element so that your only responsibility is to say "I do" and have a fabulous time. ...read more
