Considerations
• Ask to see a sample budget, time line and other resources that they use for planning. If their paper work appears organized it is a good sign!
Your Planner...
...It’s all in the details
If your budget allows, having a wedding planner certainly reduces the most stressful parts of planning for one of the most important days of your life. Planning a wedding is extremely time consuming, as there are a myriad of details and logistics to handle. A couple will certainly have to depend on friends and/or family to perform certain tasks throughout the wedding process unless they are handled with a planner.
A wedding planner will serve many functions. They will not only assist with the details of your wedding, and negotiate the best deals with vendors, but they can also be a wonderful bridge between parents’ wishes and the couple’s vision of their special day. The size of your wedding is also a consideration. When you are inviting over 150 people, a planner is a good idea. They will be there to make sure when, not if, something needs attention. A wedding consultant will simply take the stress out of all the moving parts and off your plate. You can drive the decor and the flow of your day, but your planner will be there to execute the smallest of details.
What to expect
Couples often assume that planners are only for weddings with lavish budgets but certainly in our area there are many wonderful planners
