Five Reasons You Should Hire a Wedding Planner Right Now

I think we can all agree that life is a little sweeter when you have someone to rely on, cry with, someone who hypes you up and offers to do the things you simply hate to do! In the wedding world, we call this person an event coordinator. As coronavirus continues to change plans so many of you had in place, we feel it’s important to remind you that you don’t have to plan a wedding alone. Let someone who has spent years perfecting their craft (and navigating unprecedented times just like these) help so that you can enjoy your engagement season! Hear us out:

Five Reasons You Should Hire a Wedding Planner Right Now

1. Leave it to the experts! Our wedding planners bring years of experience, as well as established relationships with vendors. Many are well-versed in planning weddings under various and sometimes complicated circumstances. Whether that may look like unpredictable weather conditions, a last-minute change in cocktails or a national pandemic! This alone simplifies set backs and the stress of rescheduling an event.

2. They understand wedding contracts and better yet, can translate them so you know what you are agreeing to. They are even equipped with apps, spreadsheets and software programs that automatically calculate when you need to sign something. You will never miss a deadline again!

3. On your wedding day, you want your mom to be your mom and your maid of honor to be your maid of honor! What we are trying to say is you want your friends and family to be present. You don’t want to look back and think, “My mom wasn’t there for my first look because the caterer wasn’t sure where to place the hors d’oeuvres.” Let your wedding planner be the point of contact so your closest friends and family can celebrate with you.

4. So, what if you have a tight budget? Let us put this into perspective! When you are building a house, there is a master contractor. They are in charge of making sure the electricity is finished before the walls are nailed in. They make sure the landscaping is finished after the roof has been installed and that every door is snug to their frame. If you are spending money on every element that goes into your home, wouldn’t you invest a little more to make sure it’s installed correctly? Day-of coordinators can monitor when certain moments of your wedding happen, so that you can walk into your reception right as the chorus drops!

5. Event, wedding and day-of coordinators are also small businesses. By supporting small, you are helping our economy flourish!

The 1909 and Mission San Fernando Rey de España were unique in their design and held personal value to the newlyweds. Their family members worked together to create cascading floral arrangements, incorporating pomegranates, for their table centerpieces.
