Why hire a professional, experienced wedding planner?

You’re engaged to the love of your life, you have booked the ceremony and reception venues. Now, it’s time to put it all together and not be stressed out; it’s time to hire a personal wedding planner. Here’s a guideline of what a professional, experienced wedding planner should do for you:

  • Save you from making costly mistakes
  • A planner will make sure everything happens on your wedding day; she runs your show and serves as the point person for all your vendors
  • A planner will find better and safe deals with vendors and products
  • A planner would make sure you’re enjoying your planning and wedding day to its fullest

 What you should know before hiring a wedding planner: 

  • Meet with him/her to make sure you’re compatible; remember you’ll be spending a lot of time with them over the next couple of months
  • Do they charge hourly or is it a flat fee and does that fee include an assistant for day of your wedding
  • Ask other vendors if they would recommend the planner you’re interviewing
  • Are they certified and how long have they been planning and orchestrating weddings
