Afraid to Hire a Wedding Planner… Think Again!!

Congratulations on your engagement and embarking on a new journey in your life!

This life will be filled with happiness and joy, but first, we have to get you and the groom-to-be to the altar.

The first step after announcing your engagement to your family and friends is realizing that you will need help with the wedding process. The wedding process can potentially cause headaches, sleepless nights, unfriendly attitudes and disagreements between couples on decision making.  And, as you may know, these reactions are not healthy or enjoyable for newly engaged couples. Wedding planning should be a time when engaged couples grow closer together and discover the creative aspects of each other’s personality. Nevertheless, the wedding process can potentially be a stressful time.

As a wedding planner, I have discovered that several couples are afraid to ask for professional help. They would rather go to a family member, a friend who recently went through the wedding process and/or social media for answers to their questions. And, while those choices can be helpful, a professional wedding planner has significantly more experience, problem solving skills and extensive knowledge about the wedding industry that is instrumental is creating the ideal wedding day.

Three concerns that are most common among engaged couples are as follows:

·         Budget—is hiring a professional wedding planner a necessary expense?

·         Selection—how do we select the right wedding planner for our needs?

·         Planning—what exactly is the role/responsibility of a wedding planner?

These are legitimate concerns and the reason for this blog. I will provide key reasons why during one of the most important days of your life…you will need the professional help of a wedding planner.
