Do I really need a Wedding Planner?

And what the heck does a Wedding Planner actually do???  After you’re manicure chips from showing off that BLING, you’ve update your online status to “engaged”, and your parents have shed their tears of joy…  Your vision for your wedding comes clear and you start the planning stages!  And one of the first things to consider is whether or not you need a professional Wedding Planner. 

I spoke with a Wedding Planner friend, Barbara Casuso of Eventually Yours Wedding Planners to help me answer your questions!  Wedding Planners lighten your load.  Many couples are afraid they’ll lose their touches, creations or decor if you hire a Wedding Planner…  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  Your planner will help you EXECUTE your vision, not take it away.  You still get to do everything you want (and all of the fun things) and save time doing them because your planner does the legwork for you! 

A planner manages your timelines for you…  They walk you through when to send “save the dates” and when to expect your RSVPs back.  They design your timeline for your wedding day and help you determine exactly what needs to happen when.  They communicate directly with all your vendors and coordinate every detail- so you don’t have to. 

They handle wedding day fires.  Something always goes not as planned, despite any efforts you have done to plan for them.  Can you imagine the Mother of the Brides zipper breaking right before the ceremony?  I can, I’ve seen it…  Planners can literally whip anything and everything together out of dental floss and runners tape.  Yes I’ve seen that too! 

Wedding planners know the trends and can give valuable advice to you.  They know which venues can accommodate your specific needs, give you the ambiance that suits your vibe, and where exactly your floral wall would just pop inside the venue.   

As wedding industry leaders, we know what to expect and when, we’ve kind of seen it all.  Having professionals that are prepared, professional, and can communicate effectively lessens the load for you- our client.  And having one go-to professional is a treat, it’s your wedding day!!!  Spoil yourself. 

So how much is this going to cost me?  I get it, you are on a budget giiiiirl!!!  Before we get there- did you know you can hire a planner for just the “day of” events?  Every couple, every venue, every love story, every wedding is different, so you may want to consider that avenue.  Many “Day of “ planners start around $500 and an average starting price for full Event Management would around $1500.  Every state and area is different, these are numbers I see currently in South Florida. 

And lastly if a Wedding Planner isn’t for you or it’s not in your budget….    Your dreams are your dreams, each and every vendor wakes up on your wedding day with one thing on their mind…  Making your dreams come to life today for YOUR WEDDING.  Your vendors do everything they can to manage every detail while you bounce from guest to guest dancing and mingling.  Your wedding will be epic, your wedding will be just what you imagined it to be with or without a professional Wedding Planner.  Now go get to planning!!!
