5 Reasons Why Every Bride Needs a Wedding Planner

Your wedding day is naturally one of the best days of your life. It consists of all of the little (and big) things that represent you as a couple, a day for all of your friends and loved ones to enjoy and one that you’ll remember forever. There are so many aspects that you need to focus on in order to bring it all together though, which is why this can be such a stressful period for brides and couples too.

Hiring a wedding planner can make this joyful time a little easier on your nerves. Here is an incredibly short list of reasons why a wedding planner is worth every penny spent!

1. You’ve never done this before

Chances are you and your fiancé haven’t planned a wedding before. Even if you have, there are always new and exciting trends, venues, and vendors popping up so it’s never the same. Some brides feel that they can plan their own weddings because they’ve helped a sister or best friend plan theirs but planning your own wedding is completely different. A professional wedding planner is the best person to guide you through this intricate process.

2. The stress is getting to you

Planning a wedding is harder than it looks and if you’re already losing sleep over your massive to-do list, hiring a wedding planner can really make the entire process much more manageable and enjoyable for you. You should be excited about your big day, not stressed and tearful.

3. You’re unsure about the costs involved

If you’re in the process of putting a budget together and would like some more guidance on what to expect based on your unique preferences, a wedding planner can be your guide. A professional wedding planner can offer you great insights on industry norms and trends and what you can expect. They can also really help you stick to your budget.

4. You don’t even know where to start

A wedding planner can help you get the ball rolling so that you can start making all the important decisions. They’ll help bring your vision together and put you in touch with vendors and suppliers who can help bring your day to life.

5. You’re under the impression that your photographer will help with the planning

Yes, a photographer can give you some guidance on the timing  but they definitely won’t be assisting you with any other coordination or wedding planning. Your photographer will be able to tell you what time to start getting ready and how much time they’ll need for family shots but they won’t be able to assist with understanding and providing advice about other vendor contracts, sending people down the aisle at the right time, making sure the reception hall is all set and decorated, this is what your wedding planner is for. And just a very small list of things your planner does throughout your business relationship. A wedding planner is there to make sure that your photographer can do his or her job on the day.

Bonus Reason: Covid! I mean let’s be real, wedding planning is stressful and confusing enough. Throw in Covid and the stress and confusion of the ever evolving pandemic, evolving way vendors are handling contracts. A wedding planner will help relieve some of this stress and confusion. You have someone in your corner who knows whats going on, is educated in the industry, and has the contacts in the industry to help more efficiently make changes.
