WEDDING PLANNERS HELP WITH BUDGETS


Budgets are a major part of planning all events, especially weddings.  There are many components when putting your ideas together for a special event.  Planners have experience with every part of the wedding planning process, which means they work with a variety of budgets.  That is a big role to be involved with when you share your vision for your wedding.  Wedding planners know how to stretch your money so your wedding will be how you envisioned it would be.  A wedding planner is skilled enough to know how to use your money in ways that will save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on your venue and reception. 

WEDDING VISION MAINTAINED


Why hire a wedding planner is a major concern for some!!! The biggest reason couples hire a wedding planner is that they will fight for your original wedding vision even if the reception venue tries to move things around on you.  Venue owners don’t want to lose business because of unhappy customers.  Wedding planners continuous connections with venues have a major pull when important decisions has to be made.  Wedding planners also have the potential for repeat business, whereas dissatisfied couples will never return.  Your wedding day is typically a once-in-a-lifetime event.  Every couple hopes their wedding day turns out exactly as they envisioned it would. Hiring a wedding planner who cares about how your wedding day goes from a vision board to reality will ensure you don’t end up wondering “What If’”…..

WEDDING TIMELINE


Having a timeline in place for the entire wedding day is a functional tool to keep every component on time for the wedding day.  This is definitely a process that the couple who tries to coordinate their day could become very stressful, leaving them frazzled and under pressure on their actual wedding day as they attempt to go through the timeline and ensure the event kicks off without a hitch.  This is why the importance of hiring a wedding planner makes sense and it will largely impact the couples special day.  


DEALING WITH TRICKY SITUATIONS


Sometimes couples come across bumps in the road, such as insufficient contracts that could cause unforeseen problems.  Disagreements with the wedding party to wardrobe malfunctions on the day of the wedding to guests not informing you about any dietary restrictions can be disastrous.  The wedding planner will be there to sort through such problems so you can focus on tying the knot, not dealing with drama.
