Sara at So Chic Events surprising the lucky couple!
We’re not wedding planners here at I Do Events, but we sure do LOVE it when our brides utilize the services of a great wedding planner. We’ve compiled our top 4 reasons to hire a wedding planner. (although there are hundreds of reasons)
- Save Time – We feel that the number one reason to hire a wedding planner is simply to save you time. Your engagement season should be one of the most joyful times in your life. You should be having engagement parties, bridal showers, and dress fittings. Not spending unnecessary time finalizing things with your wedding vendors. Let your planner worry about table placements and timelines.
- Save Money – Typically your wedding planner will have access to vendor discounts within your wedding community. They will know how to get the most bang for your buck and fight for your budget at every turn. (Trust me – we all offer vendor discounts to our planners!) Many times, these vendor discounts will pay for the cost of the wedding planner. Win Win!
- Stress Relief – If you are lucky this will be your one and only time planning a wedding. Your wedding planner will have done this exact same thing dozens of times before you. And let’s face it. Experience matters! Experienced wedding planners will steer you in the direction of wedding vendors that are both professional and work well together. Your wedding planner has full access to behind the scenes to help you avoid any conflicts or drama along the way. We promise you, your wedding planner wants your wedding to be just as stress free as you do.
- Details, Details, Details – Do us a favor and just look at photos of a wedding where a wedding planner was utilized and compare those to photos of weddings where the couple opted out of a wedding planner. In about 2 seconds flat you can typically see a huge difference in the caliber of the wedding and it’s all because of those details! Your wedding planner doesn’t want your wedding to look just like the one she did last weekend, so she is constantly thinking outside the box to come up with new and unique details that represent you and your style. Trust us, all those weddings you keep pinning on Pinterest – they hired a wedding planner!
