Did you know it takes approximately 200 – 300 hours to plan a wedding? That’s a lot of time! Wedding Planning is supposed to be one of the happiest times of your life, but it can cause even the most organized people to become stressed. Working with a professional can help to make the process much easier and reduce stress. Here are some reasons why you should hire a Wedding Planner.

1. We’re experts in this field

A planner isn’t just a planner. We take on the roles of designer, accountant, coordinator and more. Take into consideration contracts. Contracts are an incredibly important aspect of booking your venues and vendors. We have read hundreds before and know exactly what to look out for. In terms of finding your wedding team, we’re already connected with venues and vendors in your area and will ensure you have the best suited team for your needs, saving you many hours of Google searching.

2. You have a very hectic schedule

Remember when I mentioned a wedding takes 200 – 300 hours on average to plan? If you already have a busy schedule, it can be very hard to fit that many extra hours into it! A planner will handle the nitty gritty details, where you get to focus on the things that really matter.

3. We’ll keep you on budget

As a planner, I can say that my client’s budgets are always one of my main concerns. Nobody likes overspending. It’s important to have an expert help you to make the best decisions especially when it comes to staying on budget. Most people are not even sure how to properly break down their budget to cover every expense.

4. You need help bringing together all your details

It can be hard for a lot of people to decide on a theme and stick to it. A planner will bring your vision to life by providing a mood board and then sourcing a venue and vendors that match, along with decor and detail recommendations.

5. You want to actually enjoy your wedding planning process and day

Along with having a pro by your side the entire process, once your wedding day comes around, you’ll be glad to have your planner there to coordinate logistics, ensure your vendors are arriving and deal with any issues (and trust me, there definitely will be issues!). All you have to do is enjoy your special day with your partner, family and friends.
