Congratulations on your engagement! Now, when you`ve left the overwhelming phase of showing off your ring, it is time to start some seroius work. At this point you might have realized you`ll probably need a planner. And, why to hire a wedding planner?
Wedding planners are professionals with years of industry experience, vendor connections and an innate ability to manage all the little details that would drive non-planner people crazy.
There`s no better way to get straight to the point, then to quote Anna Schmid from One & Only Resorts.
“Not being a planner, I could easily say….” We’re all looking at the same stunning websites, blogs, and Pinterest boards that inspire brides and planners alike, so a planner really knows nothing that a bride doesn’t know or have access to.” I know this is exactly what many brides think when they’re considering whether they need to hire a planner or not. We experience this bride all the time, and our answer is a resounding “YOU NEED A PLANNER.”
What the planner has is years of experience, successes, failures, great stories, solutions to every challenge, and an admitted addition to the wedding business. The right planner is more excited about your wedding than you are and, believe it or not, even your best friend is not that excited. And, the best part, the secret sauce, the hidden ingredient that the planner has….. is relationships with the perfect partners to pull your event together flawlessly. They have cultivated these relationships over years of long hours and late nights and finished events that have literally brought on tears of pride and exhaustion. You cannot find this on a Pinterest board.”
If you can afford it, there’s no reason not to hire a planner. Because of their industry connections, most planners can even negotiate deals for you with vendors, which becomes a cost-saver in the long run. Keep in mind all of the real work you’ll get done by not spending all your free time on planning the wedding.
