WHY YOU NEED A WEDDING PLANNER
Think about the most amazing event you have ever attended. Now take a moment to think about what it took to create that event. It’s as if the event magically appeared, right? And if the event planner is really good at her job, that is how it should be. Your guests should not give one thought to the blood, sweat and tears that went into creating your event.
There are so many reasons to hire an Experienced Wedding Planner…

1. WE SAVE YOUR SANITY!
A wedding takes 350 hours to plan, on average — the equivalent of nearly nine work weeks! Designing, planning and executing an event can quickly become overwhelming. So many details. So many questions. So many options. So many vendors. It’s A LOT! Partnering with an experienced professional to manage your event allows you to enjoy yourself. Your engagement and the wedding planning process should be fun and easy, not overwhelming and stressful. Think of it this way: when you build a home, you hire an architect to draw the plans, a contractor to manage the construction and an interior designer to decorate the rooms. The process of building an event is very similar — it’s a daunting project to take on by yourself. So save your sanity, relax, have fun and enjoy every moment of your wedding week!
2. WE SAVE YOU TIME!
Refer back to #1 about how many hours go into planning an event. Experienced planners have relationships with the best vendors and know which ones best suit your needs and can be depended on. Experienced planners know how to sift through the slew of vendors quickly and find the best partners.
3. WE SAVE YOU MONEY!
Experienced planners have a realistic idea of what an event costs. They know where to spend more and where to spend less, and they negotiate your vender contracts in your best interests. Experienced planners will also help you think outside the box and keep you on budget.
4. WE ARE YOUR PARTNER!
When clients create a Pinterest board, the aesthetic is all over the place. The board tends to be a brainstorm of everything you like, with no cohesive style. Experienced planners will bring focus and clarity to designing the experience you want. We’ll talk about your likes and dislikes, must haves and must not haves. How do you spend your time? Do you like to travel? Are you a foodie? Are you a music lover? Where do you shop? How is your home decorated? How do you dress? What is your lifestyle? Are you more traditional or more laid back? We zero in on the aesthetic and experience that truly represents you.
5. WE ARE MORE THAN JUST YOUR PLANNER!
When you collaborate with an experienced planner to design, plan and execute the biggest event of your life, your planner becomes your teammate, confidante, coach and (sometimes) psychologist. An experienced planner will support your vision but also talk you out of bad ideas. An experienced planner keeps you on track to make decisions and not miss deadlines. An experienced planner will be familiar with your family and friend dynamics and offer solutions to any “delicate” situations – and be a buffer between guests if necessary! An experienced planner will sort and manage the logistics of the day seamlessly so you can enjoy yourself and not be bothered with one detail. Your planner will keep you calm if something isn’t going exactly as planned – like, say, the weather. Your planner will assure you that everything is going to be ok. And because you have an experienced planner, it will be!
