3 REASONS TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL WEDDING PLANNER FOR, AT THE VERY LEAST,
“MONTH OF SERVICE”
Down to the Wire
As the bride and groom, you won’t have the time or resources to manage unexpected issues that may arise in those last weeks or days. What if there was a problem with a vendor just days before or even the day of your event? Would you be ready to tackle these complicated issues in addition to any other last-minute details? A professional planner usually includes vendor management beginning one month before the event in their “month of service” package. They would become a point of contact for all vendors, ensuring everything remains on track and having a contingency plan.
Day of Coordinator
Once you are down to one month before your event, stress sets in, and one month suddenly becomes two weeks. As you begin to feel that you’re running out of time, you make rushed decisions or settle for less than you planned. Even if you have family and friends who volunteered to help, they may not be available as much as you need. Also, planning such an important event with those time constraints can quickly result in conflicts and strain close relationships. Avoid these complications by hiring a planner and having your desired wedding without stress.
The Unexpected
Any friends or family you may have recruited to help on your wedding day will be distracted. You wouldn’t want them to be bombarded with last-minute wedding details and unable to enjoy this special occasion with you anyway. However, the coordinator and usually at least one assistant will be at the venue when that first vendor arrives for setup and when the last vendor leaves after clean up. They ensure the execution of every detail according to the “day of” timeline, including that the photographer or videographer is ready to capture every memorable moment. They will also manage any “day of” emergencies that may arise, usually without alarming the bride or groom to a problem. A good planner has only one simple goal for a client’s wedding, for the bride and groom to be stress-free as they enjoy their event.
