As in any other profession, there are great and not so great individuals. Planners are there to direct and offer sound advice on matters relating to the couple's special day. In my practice, the couple has the final say, even if it is not what I recommend. I always point out why I disagree with respect and go all out to make their ideas work.

Plus we're actually Destination Wedding Planners and so we fell as a representant of our client down there.... we check everything for them...
This is also what our client tell us mostly that without us they couldn't do it... And why do they choose a destination wedding to pay a little less of money for their wedding in compartion of a wedding in their home town.
And then to finish a lot of client need help to organize all details and the flow during the day to enjoy the family
HAve a wonderful day!!

Weddings are an all consuming thing and if you are already busy, having someone who really can spend the time and expertise on pulling everything together is worth every penny. While people think its a piece of cake and that anyone can do it - think again. Its not that its hard to do but it takes experience to know how to work smart and get the best possible everything from your vision. Its also important that the bride remember its not only HER day but her husband to be too and a planner can help you keep perspective. Its better to have a planner who can help navigate the waters and explain that cheaper and doing it yourself doesn't mean better. Its better to have a planner who can work with the vendors to ensure things go smoothly while you enjoy your wedding day and not working your wedding. Proper planning prevents poor outcomes - get the planner.
