Can we offer more than one response? There are so many reasons for every bride to hire a planner. Most brides are resistant. Budget brides, especially. This post is a good idea. But, educating brides overall is important. Some won't hire a planner. Let's arm them with the tools to plan their own weddings intelligently. Not from web sites and subjective thoughts. But, from dead on experience and in an organized and concise way.

Yes, you can absolutely provide more than one response!  Any info that you can provide will be helpful.  Thank you so much.

I am reading some of the responses since I wrote this. I don't want to be redundant. I would, however, like to point out that the WHO is even more important than the WHY when deciding to hire a planner. And, where you go to find the planner is also essential. Rather than re new the same cud listed below, I would like to offer this advice. EVERY bride needs a planner. Whether you are having an intimate affair on an island, a DIY wedding in a barn or a backyard or an elegant affair in a ballroom- this is one day you don't want to gamble on! A qualified, seasoned and professional planner has a wealth of information to share. And, we have planned weddings before. You have not! There are so many things that can and do go wrong- do you want to take that chance?!

Further, Christine, I do have an idea I would love to share privately. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested. You can reach me at wendyangell@gmail.com or 267-500-4328. Good luck with your article.

With a wedding there are numerous things to consider and many of them time consuming and can err if not taken care of properly. Hiring a wedding planner is a good investment in making sure everything is in order not only before, but during the entire process. It should be one of the best days of your life and it should not be spent worrying about minute details.That should be left to the professionals.

Why should a couple hire a wedding planner? Peace of mind!

With a wedding planner, the couple will (among other things):

  • know that their vendor service team is top notch, and fits their style and budget
  • know that the timing of their wedding day will go smoothly, and the way they want it to be (not how someone else thinks it should be)
  • be able to relax and enjoy their wedding day without having to worry about a thing
  • know that their loved ones can also enjoy their wedding day and not have to "work"
  • be able to remain stress-free through the entire planning process and the big day
  • receive advice and suggestions that are unbiased, have you and your event in mind

The right connections and expertise.Choosing the right vendor for the job is essential and a wedding planner can help you distinguish between the areas professional help is needed and the areas you can do yourself. “For example, photography is best left to the professionals. People are hesitant to pay the fee, however you’ll be glad you did when you compare the images to the under- or overexposed ones your nephew took.” Your wedding planner knows the strength and weaknesses of vendors in the industry, which is crucial in finding the right vendor. “Locally there are enough capable vendors, often matching and sometimes exceeding the service levels you’ll find in bigger markets. The key is to know what needs to be left to the professionals and who does what best. That’s where a planner comes in handy.

Hiring a wedding planner is important so that you have a problem-solver on-hand to take care of the unexpected moments on one of the biggest days of a couple's life. From dress straps that break to tuxedo buttons that pop off to the wrong number of place settings at tables to covering up an eyesore on the wall of the ceremony site, these are the types of issues that wedding planners spontaneously tackle on wedding day. When a wedding planner is part of your wedding team, usually the couple never even knows there was a problem, and they are able to just enjoy the day!

It takes a tremendous amount of time and hard work for a Wedding Planner to put together a perfect wedding, especially for a destination bride and/or groom.  Most wedding planners have organized multitudes of weddings, so with practice comes perfection, whereas the average couple have never planned even one.  Wedding planners know the right people to talk to, what should and shouldn’t be in a wedding proposal or a wedding contract, and how to negotiate for the best prices. More importantly, wedding planners can ensure that every single detail is prepared for their client’s big day.  It’s daunting to many couples once they realize just how many suppliers there are out there to have to deal with and how many people are involved in the planning and coordination of a wedding, whereas, it isn’t to a wedding planner – we have or can recommend suppliers we’ve worked with on a regular basis and we know how to get the best possible pricing, and the best results, from them.  We know what needs to be done, can practically do it in our sleep, and we will keep track of all a client’s deadlines, reminding them when things need to be done or decisions need to be made. When using a wedding planner, nothing will ever be overlooked and there’s no danger of something going amiss on your big day because of poor preparation.  If there is one piece of advice that is given the most to clients by myself and my staff, it is “If you need to trim the services you’ve envisioned using for your big day in order to stay within budget, do not cut out the Wedding Planner or the Day of Coordinator!”

An important reason couples may want to hire a Wedding Planner is to save money. Although hiring a wedding planner may seem counter intuitive when you are trying to save money, investing in a wedding planner early on can actually help couples save money in the long run. A knowledgeable locally-based wedding planner, will help keep you on task and on budget by helping you make the most targeted, effective use of your money and by helping you to avoid making many of the common mistakes that couples make when planning their weddings due to lack of experience and knowledge of the wedding industry.

Many planners also have access to special discounts from preferred wedding vendor partners which they can then pass along to their clients.

Most brides have never planned a wedding and don't know the first thing about where to start.  A wedding planner is someone that does just that, plan weddings... and for most of us, our goal is to give them the dream wedding they have always dreamed of while eliminating the stress that a bride will encounter.  It's just like any other wedding vendor... do you not hire a wedding photographer, because you know how to snap a picture? Or a wedding florist because you know how to arrange the bouquets your husband brings you on Valentine day?  No, because that is not your expertise; the same applies to wedding planning. While you may be able to tackle it, it doesn't come as second nature to you, you haven't studied the in's and out of wedding planning and most of all, why deal with all the stress that comes with planning your wedding, when you can hire someone, a professional to take care of everything for you, while you sit back and enjoy you planning journey and ultimately your wedding day.
