When to Hire a Wedding Planner

When to Hire a Wedding Planner

When you’ve become newly engaged, it’s not unreasonable to say you’re on cloud nine for a little while. But once you take a minute to look away from the gorgeous new ring proudly displayed on your polished hand, the reality of planning a whole wedding tends to sink in a little.

It’s no lie when people say that planning a wedding is like a full time job – it is someone’s job after all! And if you are a busy person yourself, planning a wedding can stressful (and of course fun). But when does ‘a little stressful’ turn into overwhelming? Here’s when to hire a wedding planner:

If You Hate Budgets

Believe it or not, hiring a wedding planner does not have to eat into your budget. Budgeting can be one of the most challenging parts of wedding planning and if you’ve never been great at keeping to them, a planner can be a great asset. A wedding planner will work with the budget you have and even act as a financial adviser.

If You Want The Best of The Best

Wedding planners usually know the best of the best when it comes to local suppliers. Bridal boutiques, décor companies, musicians, photographers… You name it! They’ve worked with them and they know who can be trusted to do an amazing job.

Your Planner Will be a Great Reminder

A wedding planner’s main role is to organise. They will not leave a stone unturned for you and are great if you’re the type of person who may forget something or hates organizing.

If You’re Planning a Destination Wedding

Planning a wedding that isn’t the area you are currently living in can be hard going. You won’t be able to meet suppliers or deal with any planning changes in person. A great wedding planner can be your go-between to send any messages across to your venue or suppliers.
