HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER!!!!!!!!


Why You Should Hire A Wedding Planner

Weddings and the planning that goes into the event can be a very stressful time for couples. There are hundreds of hours of planning, many details to iron out, and budget constraints. It can become very overwhelming, but it does not have to be.

Wedding professionals possess the training, knowledge and skills to handle even the toughest situations. This allows you to experience a stress free event. Brides often feel the need to do all the planning themselves, and then become so bogged down with all the details that some necessary items are overlooked.

One issue that many brides have voiced time and time again is “how they went over their budget”. The answer is simple. There was not a professional guiding them through this process. Wedding planners can help find the best value for the bride. A planner is familiar with the local vendors and is often able to negotiate the cost. They can make sure that the contract is inclusive of what the couple has asked to be included.

In the planning stages, brides are overwhelmed by what they see in magazines, hear from friends and watch on TV, as well as the internet. There is a way to have the unique event that you have always dreamed of without going over the budget you have set, and a planner can help make this happen.

A good starting point is for the couple to sit down and make a list of what they want their event to be……discuss a theme, set a budget, set goals, pick colors, write down favorite flowers, etc. Take this list and meet with a planner. Discuss all your options, and work with the planner to make them happen.

Wedding planners work closely with the couple to insure that their desires are met. They communicate with the couple, and that is important.
Planners are not really an extra expense; they are or should be part of your budget. Most planners will work within your means and set their fees to your budget and needs. Talk with them. You will appreciate the work and recommendations of a planner in the long run. You will be able to enjoy your event without all the stress.

Happy planning!!!!!!! Find a wedding planner to help! You won’t regret it!
