10 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Planner

1.) Wedding planners can SAVE YOU MONEY! I have extremely good relationships with most of the vendors I use for weddings. This lets me negotiate prices down for you. Also, many vendors can give me "exclusive offers" for brides, they don't give these discounts to brides who don't use me or have a planner.

2.) Relieve Your Stress: Have you ever heard a girl say, "I want to be Bridzilla!"? Probably not. But guess what, if you don't hire a wedding planner, you will be stressed out, period. One of the best reasons to hire a wedding planner is to take the stress off of you so you can actually enjoy your engagement period.

3.) Wedding planners have a variety of vendors to choose from to fit each bride's wants and needs. Not only do I have a huge database of vendors in every category, but I can narrow them down to what each individual bride is looking for and can afford.

4.) We can take a vision and make it a reality. You know what you want your day to look like and feel like, but you probably don't even know where to start. Wedding planners can listen to what you have dreamed of and actually turn it into reality for your big day.

5.) Ensure quality every step of the way. A bride trying to plan her own wedding might get taken advantage of if she doesn't ask the right questions to her vendors. A wedding planner already knows what to look for to ensure the bride is getting the quality she deserves.

6.) A wedding planner will create and manage a timeline for the wedding day. This will allow the bride to be able to enjoy the celebration as well as all her closest family and friends. The wedding planner is there to make sure everything is moving along right on schedule.

7.) If vendors have any problems or questions, they can ask the wedding planner, not the bride during the reception. You want to enjoy the reception, not worry about the DJ coming up to ask you questions every 5 minutes while you are trying to talk to your guests.

8.) We have all sorts of tips and tricks to offer you from being in the industry and planning real weddings.

9.) Appointment scheduling. You want to enjoy your year of engagement, not hassle with managing your calendar and scheduling appointments with all the different vendors. Wedding planners can do all the scheduling for you, so all you have to do is show up.

10.) If there are any hiccups in the day, the wedding planner will handle it. Not the bride, groom, family, or wedding party.
