Why Every Couple Needs a Wedding Planner

Every couple needs a wedding planner. Your wedding day is naturally one of the best days of your life. It consists of all of the little (and big) things that represent you as a couple and brings all of your friends and loved ones together. The memories last forever! There are so many details that you need to focus on in order to bring it all together, which is why this can be such a stressful period, too.

Every couple needs a wedding planner to make this joyful time a easier on your nerves and busy schedule. Here are a few reasons why you should consider hiring a professional planner:  

1: You’ve never done this before

Chances are, you and your fiancé haven’t planned a wedding before. Even if you have, there are always new and exciting trends, venues, and vendors popping up, so it’s never the same. Some couples feel that they can plan their own weddings because they’ve helped a sibling or best friend plan theirs, but but there is a huge difference between helping, and fully planning a wedding. A professional wedding planner is the best person to guide you through this intricate process. They’ll know the ins and outs of good vendors in the area, when you should be hiring them, the best timeline for your specific needs, and everything in between.

2: The stress is getting to you

Planning a wedding is harder than it looks! If you’re already losing sleep over your massive to-do list, hiring a wedding planner can make the entire process much more manageable and enjoyable. You should be excited about your big day, not stressed and tearful. Every couple needs a wedding planner to help them relax! Planning a wedding can take as much time as a full time job, which you probably don’t have time for on top of your existing career!

3: You’re unsure about the costs involved

Every couple needs a wedding planner to help with budgeting! If you’re in the process of putting a budget together, or need help setting realistic expectations based on your preferences, a wedding planner can be your guide. A professional planner can offer you great insights on industry norms and trends and what you can expect. After chatting through your wants and needs, they’ll be able to recommend how much money to allocate per vendor. They can also help you stick to your budget. 

4.  You’re under the impression that your photographer/venue manager will help with the planning

Photographers can offer guidance on timing, but they won’t be assisting you with any other coordination or planning. Your photographer can tell you what time to start getting ready, or how much time they’ll need for family shots. They won’t be able to assist with the clearing of the reception hall for décor shots, sending your wedding party down the aisle or making sure that the men’s boutonnieres are pinned on straight. Likewise, your venue manager will be busy managing the venue. Their primary duties are to ensure the lighting is working, the temperature is comfortable, restrooms are stocked, etc. Wedding planners are there, behind the scenes, making sure the day is flowing so that your photographer and every other vendor can do their jobs!
