Why it’s Essential to Hire a Wedding Planner
Weddings! Such a great time to celebrate new love, family & friends. We marvel at the appeal of decor, the bride’s gown and lovely flowers. What we don’t always realize is that behind the scenes, it took months, patience, creativity and time to create such beauty and lasting memories. Without the assistance of a wedding planner, its rarely easy to go at this alone. The goal should not be to just plan your wedding and invite your favorite people, but to actually enjoy your engagement and wedding day.
For many couples, planning a wedding seems like a difficult job. With the help of a planner, it is definitely much easier. Thanks to their expertise and experience, your wedding planning journey will be a pleasant one. A planner will guide you to choose the right venue, manage every detail, arrange meetings and will always offer you the best options, taking into account your style and budget. They will put you in contact with professional vendors, such as - florists, photographers, videographers, makeup artists, DJ’s and so on that will compliment your wedding style and theme. Your wedding planner will also be available during the process to advise, answer questions, discuss concerns and give great ideas for the day you envisioned.
When you envision your wedding, so many ideas come to mind that you hardly know where to begin. What season should we get married in? What colors do I like best? Will the weather be nice for an outdoor ceremony or should all festivities be indoors? You’ve seen ideas online, in magazines or even at your friend’s wedding, but now it’s time for you to decide what you want and that’s not always an easy task. Your wedding planner will know exactly how to get your started by getting to know you and your fiance, acknowledging what’s most important to you, what’s not and providing inspirational ideas to capture your vision.
A wedding planner also adds value and distinction to your day. Every couple is unique and so should be their wedding. Planners believe that for a wedding to be different from others, it must truly reflect the personality and taste of the couple, tell their love story and cherish the aspects they deem important on their special day.
A wedding planner will keep you organized while maintaining an efficient process which encompasses checklists, deadlines and timelines. At the onset, these tasks may seem daunting, but in the end you will be glad your planner kept you apprised of what to do, what to expect and how to keep the planning under control.
Checklists ensure that each item is taken care of and nothing falls through the cracks. You have a sense of relief when something is marked off the checklist knowing you can move on to the next item with ease and confidence that your wedding will be a success.
Deadlines are important because you don’t want to fall behind on a certain task or allow overlapping where other items may fall into the to-do list for the following month(s).
Timelines are undoubtedly the most important item for your wedding day. Your planner will begin building the timeline from the moment the planning process begins. Having a timeline helps you track timing for everything from waking up in the morning to your last dance. The timeline will also keep the bridal and family members on track, it entails the vendor arrivals, set-up and breakdown and it also includes all responsibilities of the venue.
Hiring a planner will save you time, money, eliminate stress and bring you peace of mind. A planner is able to reassure and support you throughout the whole process so that you do not feel overwhelmed and anxious.
A wedding planner will be an advocate for you and have your best interest at heart. Your job is to marry the love your life, dance the night away, take beautiful photos and have fun with your family and friends!
