Many of us wonder why some people hire a wedding planner…you think, “I have imagined and dreamed of this day from the time I was a little girl…” Why would you hire a wedding planner if you already know what kind of wedding you want and how you want your wedding to be, to look? It just doesn’t make sense!

The dress, the cake, the bridesmaids, the honeymoon all seem like pretty simple subjects to address when the time comes to begin planning the big day. Then you start the planning process, but you can’t rent the space you want, or your officiant is already booked…All of a sudden, your dream starts to fall apart. It’s not the same picture you had painted in your mind of how it was supposed to be.

You make more calls…the cake will cost double what you expected…you’ve spent hours on the phone talking to and meeting vendors, getting frustrated trying to get things arranged without handing over your firstborn child…and all you want to do is cry because this isn’t as easy and as fun as you imagined it would be. This adventure has turned into a nightmare!










This is only an idea of the many things that can start to unravel as you are planning, not to mention all of the things that might go wrong on your wedding day. Many people realize that they should have hired some help after they have started to plan or worse yet, once the wedding is over.

If you are still in the planning stages, it’s never too late to call a Wedding Planner for help.

It is a myth that Wedding Planners are not affordable for working-class individuals. A long time ago, only the wealthy knew of and had access to Wedding Planners. Today, Wedding Planners are very common and are hired by everyday working people. A misconception about Wedding Planners being pricey comes from wedding shows that air on reality television. The truth is you will save more money when working with a Wedding Planner because planners work within your budget and negotiate with vendors. Whether you are wealthy or not wealthy at all, Wedding Planners are a smart choice when it comes time to plan your special day.

The planner will help you organize your dream wedding and keep you within your budget by suggesting ways to make your dollar go the farthest. Since your wedding planner is an independent party, he or she, may often mediate disagreements when you are caught between family disputes and friendly disagreements.











You CAN afford a wedding planner! It is not an extra expense if you consider the planning part of your wedding budget. Your wedding planner will even be able to save you money by suggesting the appropriate vendors that will provide professional services to accommodate your budget. It is a penny well spent to have a wedding planner overseeing the professionals that you have spent an investment with to insure that your day goes just as you have paid for and planned.
During the wedding rehearsal and on the wedding day, planners will be present so that all runs smoothly. This allows the bride, groom and their attendees to relax and enjoy the festivities. That luxury alone is priceless!

You may choose, of course, to plan the entire wedding yourself or have family and friends help. This is sometimes part of the fun of the wedding. However, it can also be a huge hassle and a headache especially if you, your family member, or friend does not have the organizational skills or attention to detail that most professional wedding planners have and experienced.

Most weddings can take more than 250 hours just to plan. With today's hectic lifestyles, you may not have time to compare all the options, making sure you get the best deal, and make sure all the details are in place.

The average wedding has at least 22 different vendors. Combine that with the entire wedding party and all of the guests and that is a lot of people with questions and concerns! By hiring a wedding planner, couples can simply tell others “talk to the wedding planner!”










Do you want to be responsible for organizing rehearsal or making sure the bridal party is properly lined up? How about making sure that the guest who had a little too much to drink departs safely? Wedding planners orchestrate from rehearsal through the end of the reception, ensuring everything goes off without a hitch!

Nothing is more beautiful than a relaxed bride! If you’re overwhelmed with all that needs to be done for your wedding, why not hire a wedding planner? In most cases, the savings experienced by the couple through their wedding planner's keen negotiating skills pay for the cost of hiring the planner, if not more. So in the end the bride (and groom) is left with a beautiful wedding, planned by a professional, with less stress and the ability to focus on the joy of the occasion.

Wedding coordinators are not here to make decisions for you, but to guide and assist you in making informed decisions.
