Many Wedding Planners offer different packages. Knowing which one to go with is entirely dependent on how much help you think you will need. Here is a breakdown of the different types of packages Wedding Planners can offer:
Full wedding coordination; this is where Wedding Planners will work with you basically from the moment you get engaged to the moment you say, “I do”. Month-of coordination, where they start working with you the month of your wedding to help with any last-minute details and will be there on your wedding day to help coordinate the day. And lastly, day-of coordination, where they will meet with you a week before your wedding to go over how they will assist and be there for you on the day of your wedding.
Considering the different types of packages is a great way to determine the best one for you. But you may be asking yourself, “do I REALLY need to hire a Wedding Planner?” Here are five reasons why it is in your best interest to hire a Wedding Planner!
They Can Help with Your Budget and Legal Contracts
An experienced planner can help guide you into making the right decisions for your wedding day. They will keep track of your budget throughout the planning process. Recommendations can be made on ways where you can cut costs or where you can splurge a little. They can also help make sense of the legal contracts given by vendors and break it down for you so it’s easy to understand.
Fight for Your Vision
One of the best perks of hiring a Wedding Planner is having someone in your corner who will fight for your wedding vision from start to finish. Lots of vendors work on more than one event per weekend or sometimes per day; a planner is focused solely on you and your partner and is there to make sure your vision comes to life on your big day. One helpful tip is to make sure your Wedding Planner fully understands your vision. This is important to ensure the entire process will be enjoyable for all the parties.
Exposed to New Ideas
Instead of scrolling Pinterest for hours, or joining wedding Facebook groups, Wedding Planners have countless, wonderful, and original ideas for your ceremony, and reception, many of which can’t be found online.
Tons of Insider Knowledge
A Wedding Planner regularly communicates with people in the industry, so not only can they recommend the best vendors for your big day, but they might be able to discuss deals for you. This means you won’t have to spend hours upon hours doing your own research to find the right fit for you.
Keep Things Stress Free
Having a Wedding Planner throughout the planning process and on your wedding day can alleviate so much stress! Sometimes you have to have your bridal party or family members dealing with all the little last-minute details.
A Wedding Planner, will take over and handle any final décor adjustments, ceremony setup, name card placement, you name it! They are there on the day of to support you in any way possible, so you, your partner, and your families can enjoy the day without any worry.
