You are engaged – yeah! May the planning begin.
In the beginning, the planning process of your wedding is really exciting. There is the dress, the ring, the wonderful vintage or rustic-looking decorations on Etsy….it all seems like the fairy tale is about to really come true.
And then you find yourself in the middle of a decision-making dilemma. How do you I know which photographer is for me? What kind of menu should I put together for my guests? Who is going to set up my place cards while I’m getting ready? How do we know when to cut the cake?
Before letting these tough choices get the best of you, consider this: A wedding planner can help you make these decisions and guide you in the right way before you get overwhelmed and spend an enormous amount on things you won’t need.
The big 5 reasons why you should hire a wedding planner:
1. Did you know that the average wedding takes 250 hours to plan? A wedding planner will save you time and money by recommending vendors that fit your style and budget, as well as advise you on the do’s and don’ts during the wedding planning process.

2. Why would you spend $20k on your wedding, but leave it up to faith for all to fall in place? With so many different vendors and individuals involved in a wedding, it can be difficult to manage them all. An experienced planner is an expert with getting the right people to the right places at the right time and making sure your event flows seamlessly. Leave it up to the professionals to make your day perfect, so you can enjoy the best time of your life.
3. Having a friend or family member help you create your day can be very useful but often times, it can be stressful as well. Your wedding planner will listen to you, guide you and assist you with completing your vision and not somebody else’s. With the planner’s expertise, you will stay on track and master every detail of planning your special day.

4. DIY projects are on the rise and creative resources like Pinterest give lots of inspiration, but how do you put it all together? The wedding planner will help you make decisions based on your preferences, personality and theme of your event. It all comes down to creating a celebration that fits you.
5. Hiring a wedding planner eliminates stress. They have a Plan A and B in place, they make sure your day runs smoothly, so you can focus on being a guest at your own wedding.
