Wedding Planners save clients time and money

Save Money

How would hiring a wedding planner save me money?
Good question! The first thing a wedding planner will do is ask you a series of questions to find out what is important to you. Then s/he will look at your budget and prioritize money appropriately. This in itself will save you money. In our experience, couples that "just try to spend wisely" and try to choose the cheapest vendors, actually end up doubling their budget! YIKES!

A wedding planner will also negotiate contracts to give you the best deal. When s/he reviews contracts the planner will be able to find ways to negotiate extras.


Save Time

Planning a wedding is a part-time job. Literally. All the "man" hours that go into planning a wedding equal a part-time job.

A wedding planner has an artilery of vendors in his/her back pocket. Taking a look at your vision, personality, budget and items of importance, your planner will be able to recommend 2-3 vendors per catagory that you'll be happy with. Your planner will pre-call for date availabity and confirm any unique requests can be accommodated. Beats rummaging through the internet for the next 100 hours, making phone calls and scheduling interviews that go no where.

Wedding planners are usually hired right after the couple become engaged or soon thereafter. Many of them plan the whole event, leaving the bride to deal with other matters, such as enjoying being engaged or avoiding being stressed for months on end in order to have the perfect wedding.
