Considering hiring a wedding planner for your upcoming wedding? There is a lot to think about! Whether you end up hiring a wedding planner or planning your wedding yourself, we want you to have the best wedding day posible!
Below you’ll find 10 reasons couples choose to hire a wedding planner for their big day.
1. A Wedding Planner Will Help You Stay On Budget
Not only will a wedding planner help you to stay on budget, they’ll help you create a realistic wedding budget that includes everything you want and nothing you don’t.
Your wedding planner acts on your behalf and they know how to work within a set budget to get the best wedding day result possible. Brides who don’t have to worry about calculating every expense find this perk of hiring a wedding planner to be a game changer.
2. Get Expert Insight & Advice
No matter how long you’ve been dreaming of your wedding day, there are things a wedding planner will know that you may not have considered. They will also have proven answers to any of your questions. Google is great, but an experienced wedding planner who can back up their advice is even better.
3. A Wedding Planner Will Sweat The Details
One reason we love our jobs as Wedding Buddees so much is because we can see the difference we make in our couples wedding day. When you have someone on your side whose job it is to pay attention to every detail, it gives you the peace of mind you need to relax and enjoy every minute of your special day.
4. Mediation & Negotiation
When communication issues arise or negotiations get complicated, your wedding planner has your back. A wedding planner will act as your negotiator for vendors and as a mediator if needed.
Sometimes there are family members who request special treatment or a member of the wedding party who needs a little push to arrive on time, these are the times when a wedding planner will communicate on your behalf.
5. Wedding Planners Save You Time
Wedding planners come with structure and effective strategies. Those strategies result in an extraordinary amount of time saved. From budgeting to vendor communications to seating to thank you cards and invites, a wedding planner makes all the right moves so you have more time to focus on the most important aspects of your wedding day.
6. A Wedding Planner Will Save You Money
Wedding planners save couples a surprising amount of money because of the relationships and special prices they get with local vendors, venues and caterers. Couples who are planning a wedding themselves will often get sticker shock when it comes to prices of flowers, decorations and other wedding necessities but with a wedding planner, you can take advantage of special discounts that lower your cost and make it easier to stay within your budget.
7. Day-Of Problem Solving
Any day-of wedding coordinator knows that surprises are bound to happen. But they also know how to solve problems quickly and efficiently.
Our goal is to get every detail in order and be ready for unexpected surprises. We are experts at being the first to solve any problem that comes up before, during or after the wedding.
8. Scheduling & Organization Are Off Your Plate
Wedding planners are on top of organization and day-of scheduling so that brides and grooms just have to show up and enjoy their day. Our Wedding Buddees have a system in place to build and execute seamless schedules on behalf of every couple.
For brides or grooms who want to be more involved, we build schedules and communicate as much or as little as our couples prefer. We are a client-first organization which means that we approach every wedding with our clients wants and needs as our guide.
9. Get Access To The Best Vendors
When you work in an industry for long enough, you learn which vendors are the best and which you may want to avoid. A Wedding planner gives you access and insight into local vendors who you can trust.
Our Wedding Buddees have relationships with the very best venues, vendors, photographers, florists, and more! We know that every wedding is special so we keep our network broad to give our couples a wedding day that is authentically and uniquely them.
10. You Get To Enjoy Your Day To The Fullest
This is perhaps the most important benefit to hiring a wedding planner. We love to see our brides and grooms completely lost in the moment and having the time of their lives on their wedding day. It’s our job to make sure our clients and their guests enjoy themselves without needing to worry about any day-of details.
