1. SAVES YOU MONEY

As a planner it is our job to make sure we allocate all of your wedding budget appropriately. A lot of couples that plan their own wedding end up spending too much money in certain categories then doesn’t have enough left to cover other necessary expenses. This could be avoided with the proper knowledge of how much everything was actually going to cost.

2. SAVES YOU TIME

Most couples don’t have the time or simply don’t want to spend the time they do have consumed with wedding planning and research. As a planner it our job to take the bulk of planning and research off of your plate so you can focus on just getting married. We act as a middleman between you and all of your vendors so you are not having to answer emails and phone calls from them.

Having a wedding planner or wedding day coordinator present on the wedding day is so important. Even if you can’t hire a full service wedding planner hiring a planner for wedding day management is so needed. You may not even realize how much you need one until your actual wedding day.
