Should I book a wedding planner?

Do I really need a wedding planner? This is a question that has probably passed thought the mind of every couple which starts to plan its wedding. I would say yes, you do, and not just because I’m a wedding planner myself and it suites me to think this way, but because a wedding planner is the most helpful person for the whole process of planning your wedding and helping you on the wedding day. 

Planning a wedding has a lot of stress, especially when it’s your first time doing it. There are a lot of things that you should keep in mind when planning a wedding. You will have to be in charge of all the services which you will book, be sure that you have booked everyone and everything you need, that all the vendors have received the correct information, and finally that your guests are feeling comfortable at your wedding. On the wedding day, you might end up spending more time coordinating everyone, rather than enjoying the day with your new husband or wife and spending quality time with your guests. In other words, you might end up not having as much fun as you should on your wedding day. 

A wedding planner on the other hand, has planned a lot of weddings, much more weddings than an average couple. His or hers experience in the field, helps him to know exactly what services need to be booked, what is the correct order of planning the wedding, what vendors to choose, how to organize the day schedule. Your wedding planner will be there for you to answer all the questions you have regarding your wedding, will instruct you which services you need to book and which ones won’t be really necessary, will assist you in organizing everything for you and your guests. More importantly, on the wedding day, you won’t have to worry about a thing, since you will have a person doing that for you, coordinating everything for you, leaving you to enjoy your wedding day without any distractions. 

When it comes to a destination wedding, a wedding planner will be even more helpful! Every couple should keep in mind that each country has its own unwritten rules, its own “logic”, and a specific way things work. Should you decide, for example, to have your wedding in Santorini, it will be hard for you to know what is allowed and what isn’t on the island, what are the regulations, for example what are the noise restrictions. It might also be tricky to arrange everything though the internet, making the planning process even more stressful, if you won’t have someone knowing the island to help you out. The destination wedding planner will be your guide in this situation, informing you about everything you need to know about Santorini, or any other destination wedding location of your choice. He or she will know what will be the best option for you, so that you could have a memorable wedding day. 

Of course, paying for a wedding planner will add extra expenses to your budget, but this expense will save you the hustle of having to do everything on your own. Instead, you will have a pleasant and unforgettable time on your wedding day, without any worries. Besides, no one wants to spend so much money and energy on something, that might not end up being at all as planned and imagined. A wedding planner is the guarantee that you will get what you always dreamed off, stress-free.

To sum up, even me, a person who knows how to plan a wedding, would still ask for an assistance from another wedding planner, as I would much rather enjoy the day, eat and dance, than worry all the time about the services and the vendors I booked. 

I hope that was of help and I sincerely wish you a lovely day!
