Ask almost any vendor and they will most whole-heartedly reply, YES!

Your wedding planner offers a front line to your vendors, ensuring that all parties understand and comply with their responsibilities. She can cut down on miscommunications, and help make sure that everyone involved enjoys a lower-stress event.

She can also negotiate with the vendors to ensure you are receiving the best products, services or time, for the price. She often knows which vendors specialize in particular areas, and possibly which vendors would be better suited to a different event.

A wedding planner often knows ways of cutting costs without sacrificing style. She can also help you prioritize to use your available funds to its best advantage.

Many times a wedding planner can actually save you money!

Plus, there is also the “stress factor”. As the wedding draws nearer, the bride needs to take time to pamper herself, sleeping well, and avoiding stress, to look and feel her very best for her big day! All those little, (or big) last-minute details can become a very heavy burden to carry alone! No bride wants to find out that there has been a mix-up with the wedding cake moments before she’s supposed to walk down the aisle. (true story!) Never underestimate the value of having a professional there to manage any emergencies which may arise, making sure that the day runs smoothly, usually with no one the wiser!

So is paying for a wedding planner worth it? She is immense help to and with the varying vendors, ensuring you are getting what you want, for the best price possible, from the most qualified providers; she can help you manage your budget, suggesting alternatives where applicable; and she can offer major stress management for the bride and her “court”. The answer seems simple! If you would like to know more, I’d love to sit down with you for a free consultation to discuss your wedding!
