Planning a wedding is an exciting process—turning the details into a wedding that will genuinely reflect your vision. Your wedding planner must have a specialty in listening; fully hearing you, getting to know what defines you as a couple and earning your trust—that’s priority #1!
Together, you’ll set your wedding apart by combining fresh trends with heartfelt traditions. Your wedding planner will help you tackle budgeting, scheduling, elements of design and everything else with humor, honesty, insight and compassion. Wearing many hats your wedding planner will be your resource, advocate, support, friend, quarter back, “Nuptial Engineer,” and just a wee bit of a “Fairy Godmother!”
On average, 200-plus hours go into the process of planning and producing a wedding.
Today, the vast majority of brides, grooms, and their families have demanding full-time careers, so time to dedicate to wedding planning is a precious commodity. For your wedding planner this is a full-time job, one about which they are deeply passionate.
The professional vendor relationships built by your wedding planner provide the resources to share with you merit-based vendor referrals to guide you toward putting together a fantastic vendor team. As you lay the foundation for your big day, your wedding planner will actually help to save you time and money. Wedding planners know how to avoid time-wasting mistakes and pitfalls, and will assist you in creating and maintaining a responsible and realistic budget. Your wedding planner is familiar with current and fair rates within the wedding industry and will guide you in the wisest and most efficient use of your wedding dollars. While extremely rare, fraud does exist in the wedding industry and your wedding planner knows how to spot it and steer you far away.
Your wedding planner will help you with the what’s, the how’s, and the when’s that are important to you. This will be addressed in a rational and productive order and in a timely, organized and comprehensive manner. Everything will be covered and nothing will be forgotten. Finally, with extensive experience in final detail coordination and wedding day execution, your wedding planner accepts the challenge of taking complicated logistics and complex elements and then weaves it all into a seamless, well-timed experience—one that feels both spontaneous and effortless.
Here’s something to think about: rarely, if ever, do we rotate our own tires, fill our own cavities, or repair our own laptops. Just as uncommon are baking and decorating one's own wedding cake, altering one's own wedding gown or tux and photographing one's own ceremony and reception.
Professionals are engaged to perform all of these functions. Securing the services of a wedding planner ensures that your wedding day will be what you envision it to be, in all ways and then some. You and all the special people in your life will have total peace of mind and be fully present while enjoying your best day ever!
