Why an Experienced Wedding Planner Makes All the Difference

Congratulations—you’re engaged! You’ve begun an exciting new chapter in your lives together . . . there’s just one little thing left to do: the wedding!

When will it be? Where will it take place? How many guests will you have? Indoors? Outdoors? Modern? Classic? Budget? Buffet? Sit-down? Timeline of events? Putting the RSVPs together? Figuring out where out-of-town guests will stay . . .

Ok, maybe it’s not such a little thing after all. In fact, planning a wedding can start to feel overwhelming very quickly. So, who do you turn to when you don’t even know where to start? The answer, of course, is a professional! An experienced wedding planner is your expert on all things related to the big day, including venue selection, budget management, vendor coordination (including negotiating contracts), timeline planning, day-of coordination, RSVP management, creating seating arrangements, and so much more. And in addition to handling the practical side of things, a wedding planner can help you realize your vision for your wedding and create the personal touches that will ensure you and your guests have lots of wonderful memories to cherish. A wedding planner can even help out with the essential post-wedding responsibilities—writing and sending thank you notes, for example, or making sure all your paperwork gets where it needs to go.

Here’s the thing, though. If you ask any wedding planner what they do chances are the answer won’t begin with a list of responsibilities. Instead, he or she will emphasize what really matters: to make sure your wedding is a joyous, stress-free, and altogether perfect start to your life as a married couple!
