A great place to start is to determine whether or not you may need to hire a Wedding Planner who will guide you from start to finish. Allowing you to enjoy and not stress. But maybe you’re not sure you want to spend the money and you like to plan things so maybe you can do it on your own?

Not to fret! Here are some things to consider about whether or not hiring a Wedding Planner is the right decision for you.


 

Do you and your fiancée both work full time jobs?

If the answer is YES - then you may want to consider hiring a planner to help as you will not have a ton of time to focus on the wedding planning AND enjoy your engagement. And after all - wedding planning can often be a full-time job in itself - so hire a planner and let them do the work!

Do you have budget concerns?

A wedding planner will be able to negotiate with other vendors on your behalf as well as give you tips on how to save money. They can also help you prioritize what is most important to you and where to focus spending your money.

 

Do you have a short planning window?

When planning a wedding there is a lot to do and a tight timeline often adds to more stress.  Hiring a wedding planner will help you enjoy your engagement and get your wedding planned in no time.

Do you know where to start with vendors and how to negotiate contracts?

When planning a wedding there are a lot of vendors which also means a lot of contracts!  A wedding planner can help you make sense it of all and make sure you do not get hit with hidden fees or agree to things you didn’t intend to.

Do you have an idea or vision of what your Wedding Day will look like?

If you have no idea where to start, what you like or have trouble making decisions – then a planner is for you.  They can help you narrow down choices, determine what you like and guide you in the right direction so you can make decisions you are excited about.
