Do I need to hire a Wedding Planner?
Two common questions Event Planners are often asked.

“Do I need to hire an event planner?"
The most commonly asked question in my business of weddings, intimate gatherings and corporate functions. Now for the passionate DIYer, or the hostess at heart, they typically will not feel the need to hire a planner because, well, they themselves ARE the planner. And kudos to those who can pull it off, or make it look that way. Many businesses do not have the time to plan a function and will most certainly have an Events Coordinator on payroll, or they outsource on a contractual basis to a company like mine. For most Brides, Grooms and lovers alike however, it is often considered a luxury not a necessity, and quite often they feel they can do it all themselves, with a little help, of course – right? Absolutely! But that help should not be your mom, or your sister in law who happens to also be a Bridesmaid and the make up artist, and oh, the decorator too.
The Uniqueness of Wedding Planning
Your wedding day, of all days is a day for you to celebrate, enjoy and bask in the entirety of the day – stress free. And if you think about it, that is what a planner is, a helper. All your life (or for the past few years even), you have spent countless hours envisioning, creating and making your big day a reality. YOU have planned your big day, we just come and help ensure that vision is executed, while you get to enjoy your hair and make up artists spoiling you with your ladies. Your significant can rest assured that their partner is at ease, allowing them peace of mind too.
An Event Planners Role
“What is it, that you would come and do?”, is the other question we are asked and here is the answer: everything that you would have done, if there was not a team of us, dedicated to making your day a success. It involves not only ensuring vendors show up, but that they provide the product or service they promised you both, at the quality you deserve. We not only ensure your décor is how you want it, but we are also a shoulder to lean on, a solution finder, relief expert, bargain hunter and most of all, in the end, your friend. We are your family away from family.
