Why Hiring A Wedding Planner Is Absolutely Essential

Congrats, you're engaged!! After you've relished the moment with your other half and shared the big news, planning your big day quickly approaches. Maybe you know exactly the type of wedding you'll want to begin creating, or maybe you have no idea where to start.

When it comes to the big day, the sky is the limit to available venues and themes to create an unforgettable evening for you and your guests! Planning is going to be one of the most exciting tasks you'll take on to prepare for your big day (except maybe saying yes to the dress), but it also tends to be the most stressful.

Most couples want to make sure their event is going to go off without a hitch, planned practically perfect in every way. A wedding planner is an essential component to your wedding professional team, and is just as important as your photographer or catering. Here's why you'll want to hire one even before you select your venue:

Find Your Perfect Venue and Vendors and Save Hours Doing So

Wedding Planners are experts at being a concierge for you and your spouse. Some venues and vendors only advertise their business in certain places, which means you could miss finding your dream location or wedding pro if you are searching on your own. An experienced wedding planner knows how to track down the best in the area, and also can quickly narrow down what is going to fit within your budget and style. Planners often times have relationships with venues or pros, which means that they can recommend what is a good fit, and even save you money by negotiating a rate as a planning professional. They should be one of the first calls you make to get your dream event in the works!

Vision, Inspiration, and Design
Wedding planners turn dreams into reality. You show us a Pintrest board, and we tell you how to get there and what it will cost. An expert planner will come up with innovative and creative ways to ensure that all of the elements of your vision for your big day are included. This might be getting crafty with sourcing vintage rentals, or finding unique entertainment for guests. Planners can suggest an array of additions to your event, from subtle décor touches to show stopping entertainment your guests will love!

Guest List Management

Finalizing the guest list for a wedding can be exhausting and time consuming. Let's say you have 150 guests that you need to confirm their plus one, their room block, and where to seat them at your event. A wedding planner can help you to knock out your RSVP list and finalize your guest count efficiently, saving you hours of time. You may want to have assigned seating at your event when it comes time for dinner, and a planner can be an excellent partner to help design a creative way to get guests to their table and put you at ease for your floor plan.

Day of Coordination
The LAST thing you would ever want to do is have to direct and instruct every single guest on where to go and what to do when you are trying to get married!! You will be running around with tremendous anxiety trying to ensure everyone is in the right place at the right time. The last thing you need is your phone blowing up between your guests and your wedding pros...where is the entrance? where can I park? where is the bus? what time should I be there? how do I get there? Let the planner be the POC for your guests on the big day, so you can focus on drinking champagne and getting pampered before you walk the isle. A great planner will be there to greet your guests on arrival, answer any questions, and ensure your guests are in place to kick things off the right way. There going to be there every step of the way for anything you may need, and will make sure things wrap up successfully. You'll be giving your planner the biggest hug by the end of your evening, because you will have enjoyed your event to the fullest.
