Do you need a wedding planner?
Answer these 5 questions to find out
When envisioning your dream wedding, you may wonder - do I really need to hire a wedding planner? We are often asked by engaged couples what the benefits are of working with a wedding planner, and the answers are honestly endless. But we understand that every couple is different and needs a varying amount of support from a wedding planner.
So if you are still unsure whether working with a wedding planner is right for you, ask yourself these key questions to help you decide:
1.Do I have the time?
Yes - You have flexible work hours and can make wedding tasks like venue tours and vendor meetings a priority.
No - Your busy work schedule leaves little time for handling wedding details, endless emails and hours of research. A planner would be a great help in taking on these time-consuming tasks.
2. Is my guest list huge?
Yes - You're inviting over 150 guests. Coordinating large groups can get chaotic, there is a lot of correspondence that takes place and bookings can get confusing.
No - Your intimate guest list of 50 or less is very manageable.
3. Am I a perfectionist?
Yes - Every detail must be flawless, bespoke and in the correct place. A planner ensures your vision comes to life perfectly and every detail is where you want it on the big day.
No - You're fine keeping things simple and casual as you want a relaxed and informal wedding.
4. Do you have experience of event planning?
Yes - You have worked in the event industry before so I know what work is involved behind the scenes.
No - You would need someone with expertise and knowledge in planning events so that no detail gets missed and everything is handled professionally.
5. Do I handle stress well?
Yes - You love fast-paced environments and enjoy being organised and managing stressful situations.
No - You can feel overwhelmed easily and want your engagement to be a fun and not stressful experience.
We hope by answering these questions you get more of an idea if having a wedding planner to support you is what you need. If you have a busy lifestyle already then adding wedding planning to your already full timetable will lead to overwhelm, stress and overlooking details for your big day.
